atlasFishing is built as a complete server activity. This page explains what is included and which config areas control each feature.

​
Supplies shop

The fisherman can open a custom NUI supplies shop where players buy:
  • Fishing rod
  • Worms
  • Dough balls
  • Minnows
  • Shrimp
  • Squid
  • Glowing lure
Controlled by: 
Config.shop

​
Bait progression

Bait affects both fail chance and rarity odds. Cheap bait is safer for early progression; expensive bait can reduce junk and improve rare catches. Controlled by: 
Config.baits
Config.tiers

​
Water casting

The script can require players to face water before casting and can allow or block fishing from boats. Controlled by: 
Config.cast.requireWater
Config.cast.allowBoats

​
Random catch sequence

The normal loop is:
  1. Player uses fishing_rod.
  2. Player selects bait.
  3. Cast progress runs.
  4. Bite wait begins.
  5. A minigame opens.
  6. On success, the server chooses a catch.
  7. The catch spawns/flops.
  8. Player picks up and holds the fish.
  9. Player sells the catch.

​
Four minigames

The included NUI minigames are:
  • Tension
  • Whirlpool
  • Cast Meter
  • Reel Rhythm
Controlled by: 
Config.minigame
See Minigames for difficulty tuning.

​
Death-safe cancellation

If a player dies while casting, waiting for a bite, or playing a minigame, the active fishing attempt cancels so they are not left stuck in a fishing state. Controlled by: 
Config.death
Death detection comes from atlasBridge, with an optional atlas:deathEvent convar for custom death systems.

​
Fish, junk, and rarity tiers

The catch table supports:
  • Junk catches
  • Common fish
  • Uncommon fish
  • Rare fish and critters
  • Epic fish
  • Legendary fish and special catches
Controlled by: 
Config.fish
Config.junk

​
Fishing zones

Zones apply rarity multipliers in specific map areas. The default config includes deep sea and Alamo Sea examples. Controlled by: 
Config.zones

​
Selling

Players can sell fish through an all-at-once flow or a selected-item flow. Controlled by: 
Config.sell

​
Boat rentals

Optional boat rental includes:
  • Rental ped
  • Boat shop NUI
  • Boat preview
  • Server-spawned rental boat
  • One rental per player
  • Distance-based cleanup
  • Drop cleanup through bridge entities
Controlled by: 
Config.boatrental

​
Props and animations

The resource includes a fishing rod prop, fish/critter props, pickup animations, held fish animations, and optional flop movement after a successful catch. Controlled by: 
Config.rod
Config.catchSeq

​
Bridge integration

atlasFishing uses atlasBridge for framework, inventory, UI, target/interactions, money, and entity cleanup. This keeps the fishing resource cleaner and lets you support multiple server stacks without rewriting the core gameplay.
