Boardwalk fishing

You can obtain any item in the game without having to copy its attributes into your save file.

Find and edit or add these flags:

• "fished_day1_boardwalk_rightblocker"
  • Or day2, etc. according to the current day.
  • Enter a large negative value to bypass the 10/day limit.
• "fishing_special_boardwalk_rightblocker"
  • Enter any number of item IDs, separated by commas. For example, this lets you fish up the missing Jazz Agent skill book and all fifteen Shadow Rift items:

"fishing_special_boardwalk_rightblocker": "book_jazz_poisonriff,accessory_shadowcoin,familiar_shadowbird,familiar_shadowrat,hat_shadow,misc_shadowchalice,misc_shadowegg,offhand_shadowapple,offhand_shadowmirror,pants_shadowshorts,ring_shadow1,shoes_shadowboots,weapon_shadowcandle,weapon_shadowhammer,weapon_shadowknife,weapon_shadowsyringe"

Some items' properties are normally adjusted when they're given. This gives you the in-code version of those items, or they may end up with tags like [property_foo] in their name.

Notes

• On Steam, you may need to disable cloud Steam saves for Shadows over Loathing or it may overwrite your save file edits with the cloud data.
• If you edit a save file while the game is running, it may overwrite your edits if you later interact with the game. I found it safest to exit to the main menu before editing your save file and then you can "Continue" from the main menu to reload your save data.
