I am only explaining the basic settings !

Vanilla Botter Settings

Start your Vanillabotter an view this important setting

- deactivate the checkbox "Logout after" or set any time if you want to logout your bot after this counter.
- activate the checkbox Looting !
- if you want use Bait so aktivte the checkbox for that
- check your hotkey setting to start your bot
Basic settings for Vanilla Botter done, now we have to setup WOW !

WOW Client Settings

Start your Client and go to Graphic options
- activate Window Mode
- Sett your Screen resoloution to 800x600
- Login on Server and move to a Fishing area
- Put your Fishingroot in Slot 1
- Slot 2 is for Baits (if u want use Baits, dont forget to enable the box in Vanilla Botter)

Mouse and Screen kalibration

Very important step!
- Aligning the Screen, look at my Images for exampel

- Move your mouse in the middle of Screen
- Now you can start the Bot with the Hotkey

If the Mouse movement begins to stock:
- Change the resolution and back to 800x600
- Restart your World of Warcraft

Here is a short example video

Hope I could help!
Have fun with fishing

followed exactly.. still not doing anything, just zooming in and then just stand there..
Nvm, "Teamviewer, the bot will not work when this is running."

So the main question I have is that I downloaded the bot and I get a text based screen instead of a gui. Is there a different version?

The version shown in the screen is the paid version, which you have to buy. What you have is the free version.
