FAQ

Localization

ATA Fishing supports multiple languages. You can find the language files in the locales folder:

• English: locales/en.lua

• German: locales/de.lua

• Turkish: locales/tr.lua

• ....

To add a new language:

1. Copy one of the existing language files

2. Rename it (e.g., fr.lua for French)

3. Translate all strings in the file

4. Change the Config.Locale value in config.lua to your language code

Hotspot System

Hotspots are special locations where players have increased chances to catch specific fish:

1. To create a hotspot, add the hotspot vector3 coordinate to a fish in the Config.FishMarket table:

      {
          name = "anchovy",
          -- other properties
          hotspot = vector3(-2033.64, -1042.25, 5.88),
      }

2. Players fishing within Config.ChanceSystem.hotspot_radius of a hotspot will have increased chances to catch that specific fish.
