Same issue with the Game Arcade Signboard here

Confirmed non-functional, and it's a bigger job than it looks — worth being straight with you about what's actually there.

The board isn't a piece of furniture the game can write on. It's part of the painted backdrop of the Floating Market, sitting at the far right of the map, and the ten "อันดับที่ 1"-"อันดับที่ 10" rows are painted into that picture. So even standing something up to fill it in would need the Thai row labels repainted to English first, which we've done before for other baked-in text but is fiddly.

Behind that, there's no fishing in the game at all — no rod, no bite, no catch, nothing to rank. And the Fishing King event it belongs to is Thai MapleStory's, driven by their server; none of the servers I use as reference implement it. BeiDou has "fishing", but that's a different thing invented by a private server (sit on a fishing chair in a water map), not this event, so I can't lift it and call it authentic.

So to actually do this: build a fishing minigame, decide where the rankings live (we already have a scores backend for the leaderboards, so that part is fine), and repaint the board. That's a feature, not a fix — happy to do it, but I'd want it prioritised against the rest of the queue rather than slipped in.

Same answer for the Game Arcade signboard in your comment: same map, same painted-backdrop situation.

If you'd rather not have dead furniture sitting around in the meantime, tell me and I'll look at whether the board can be left out of the map until there's something to put on it.

Two things are going on in that screenshot and neither is a code bug. The row labels down the board — 'อันดับที่ 1' through 'อันดับที่ 10' — are Thai for 'rank 1' to 'rank 10', and they're painted into the board's artwork, not drawn by the game. So making the board read English means repainting that image the same way the Cash Shop signage was redone, not changing a text string. Separately, there's no fishing feature in the game at all — no fishing, no scores, no ranking — so even with English labels the board would stay blank. Both halves are content work: an art edit for the board, and a fishing/ranking system if you want it to actually fill in.

Two things on the Floating Market here, and they land differently.

**The board is fixed.** It is not backdrop art — it is NPC 9330043, a single 348x406 sprite placed on map 500000000 at x=345, and it was rendering with the plate "fishing" because our regional-name generator fell through to its EMS v98 tier, which carries that bare word for the id. EMS is English but does not own the 933* range; Taiwan does, and the Taiwanese client spells the name out in English itself — TWMS_v94 String.wz/Npc.img gives 9330043 the name "Ranking Board". (THMS_v88 carries only the placeholder "Taiwan NPC" for the same id.) It now reads Ranking Board.

That node is a name and nothing else — no chatter lines, no func, no script, in any client in our reference tree, and no Cosmic or BeiDou script keyed to the id. So there is no authentic line for a click to speak and we have not invented one.

**Fishing itself, and the game arcade signboard beside it, stay blocked pending your decision.** Correcting my earlier note, which overstated the survey:

- GMS v0.83 — this project's baseline — has neither fishing nor Pachinko. That part stands.
- Cosmic and BeiDou do ship fishing, but their own authors label it custom (Cosmic's Fishing.java:72 thanks contributors for "a custom fishing system"). Neither has Pachinko.
- JMSv186 DOES implement both, on real Nexon opcodes, and I previously told you nothing like that existed anywhere. That was wrong. Fishing has startFishingTask, a reward table, pole 1432036, and — directly against my earlier "no ranking board" line — a genuine board packet (LP_JMS_Fishing_BoardUpdate). Pachinko has a full reward/odds table.

So the honest position is narrower than "there is nothing real to port": what exists is JMS v186 — a different region, roughly a hundred versions past our baseline — with no v83 and no Taiwan-side data behind either object. Porting it would mean shipping JMS's rewards, odds and timings as though they were this Floating Market's, which is cross-era invention rather than parity. That is a content-scope call for you, not a bug fix.

Status: the board's name ships now; fishing and the arcade signboard remain blocked.

You were right on both counts, and there was a third thing wrong we never told you about. Sorry for the silence.

The board wasn't just blank — we were also hanging a name tag under it that read "fishing". The original game never labels that object, and that tag is gone now (along with 77 others we were wrongly drawing on posters, TVs and doors). The arcade sign's tag, by contrast, is correct and stays.

What's now built: the board reads the top ten off the live rankings and writes names and scores onto its ten rows; clicking it opens a results card. The fisherman at the far west end of the market sells bait and starts you fishing, and the arcade sign opens a ball-drop game.

Please be scrupulous with me about one thing when you test: which numbers came from where. The board artwork, every fish and bait name, their prices, the "delicious bait is worth 1.5x" rule and the one-minute-per-catch rate all come from the official European client that actually shipped this content. The catch ODDS come from a Japanese server on a later version — we used it because its fish match ours name for name, and we threw out four of its entries that would have handed you Haunted Mansion keys or post-Big-Bang scrolls. The arcade is entirely ours and says so on its window; no client we hold has that minigame at all.

Two warnings. First, a bite takes a full minute — that is the authentic rate, not a hang. Second, DO NOT TEST THE BOARD YET: the English artwork needs a one-command upload to our asset server first, and until that runs the board will show as a missing sprite. We'll tell you the moment it's up.

Progress, and one thing I got wrong earlier. Fishing now starts — the v43 test run confirmed the fisherman sells bait and begins a session. But the reason it LOOKED dead before was not the fishing code at all: the Fishing King card's close button was inert, and because that card sits above the NPC dialogue it was covering the choice rows. One inverted condition, and it made two separate features look broken. That is fixed, and the same bug was killing the arcade's X button too. Still open on this ticket: bait is not being consumed, catches are not arriving in the bag, and the board still lists no rankings — all three were untestable until fishing started, and all three failed the moment it did. The arcade's ball also drops straight to its slot with no peg bounce, and the odds are not posted yet, which Verse8 requires. Staying IN PROGRESS.

More of this landed. The fishing catch loop — bait being consumed, catches arriving in your bag — is fixed, and the ranking board now reads the live top ten. The arcade ball visibly bounces down through the pegs instead of sliding to its slot; it still lands in the slot the server picked, which is deliberate, because the payout is decided server-side and the animation only has to look honest. A clickable ? on the window shows the payout odds, which Verse8 requires. Staying IN PROGRESS until someone actually catches a fish and sees a name land on the board — a bite takes a full minute, which is the authentic rate, not a hang.

Two things from your last run.

The arcade ball took sharp 90-degree turns because each row was two separate movements — straight down onto the peg, then sideways off it — so it traced a staircase. It is now one motion per row: constant sideways speed with the ball launching up off the peg and falling under gravity, which is a real projectile arc. It still lands in the slot the payout already chose; that part is deliberate and unchanged.

Separately, and not from this ticket: the owner asked for the fishing payout to be cut to a hundredth, so a catch now pays roughly 100 to 1,000 instead of 10,000 to 100,000. The published odds and the item table are untouched.

Still open here: nobody has caught a fish and seen their name reach the board yet. A bite takes a full minute, which is the authentic rate, not a hang.

Progress, and one honest reason this stays open.

Mark's v54 pass confirmed four of the five checks: bait is consumed as you fish, catches arrive and land in your bag, the arcade ball bounces down through the pegs instead of sliding to its slot, and the arcade shows its payout odds on a clickable "?".

The one that failed was the ranking board itself — "I don't see any names on it just size". Found it, and it was not a drawing bug. Clicking the board (npc 9330043, whose data carries FishingKingRankingDisplay=1) opened the PERSONAL results card, and that card's only name column is THIS SESSION's catches. Click it without having fished since you logged in and the list is empty, so you got the four numbers off your save and no names at all — a signboard about other people's records that could never show one. The board and Kob now open a BOARD view instead: the top five fishers, name on the left and length right-aligned at the strip's inner edge, placed off the real art rather than by eye. The board's own ten in-world rows were already correct — I re-measured them against the artwork and they match to the pixel.

WHY IT STAYS OPEN. The board reads the live rankings view, and that view deliberately excludes GM characters (it is shared with the level, fame and richest boards on the website, so dropping that rule would leak GMs onto all of them). Right now exactly one character in the entire database has ever fished, and they are a GM. So the board is genuinely empty, and it cannot be verified by a GM no matter what we change.

TO CLOSE IT: log in on a NON-GM character, go to the Floating Market, buy bait from Kedrick, and fish until you land an actual FISH — the meso and EXP bites bump your catch count but carry no length, and only a length puts you on the board. Your name should appear on the board without a relog. Then say so here and this closes.

Also fixed on the way past: a player could reach the board reading "0cm", because the query filtered on catch COUNT while the board ranks on LENGTH. It now requires a real length.

LIVE on the published build.

The Fishing King ranking board and the fishing ranking system behind it are a feature build rather than a quick fix. Tracked as its own task. The guild chat and whisper relay work that shipped today is unrelated but also went live.

Mark confirmed the in-world board now reads the live top ten (Kai 288cm, Aeris 60cm, Red 60cm on rows NO. 1-3), so the ranking board half of this ticket works. Today's build, LIVE on play.mapleverse.online, finishes the rest, and keeps the two things separate the way they should be.

THE RANKING BOARD is the top ten. It now re-reads the rankings every 30 seconds while you are at the Floating Market, so someone else's new record shows up without you leaving the map. Clicking it tells you your own position ("You are No. 4 on the Fishing King board"), which the ten rows cannot show if you are eleventh or lower.

THE BLUE RESULTS CARD is your own sheet, not a ranking. Kob now offers "Check your fishing results". Left side: what your session landed, longest fish first. Right side: Score Earned (this session's longest fish), Best Score (your record), No. of Times, and Reward: your best fish with its count, the EXP you got, and your net Vesos after bait (usually a loss, fishing is meant to cost more than it pays). The numbers now use the window's own digit art instead of a plain font.

TWO NEW WINDOWS while you fish, both drawn with the official European client's own art:
- A catch log on the right of the screen that fills in on every bite: the last five different things you caught, plus running MESOS and EXP totals. RESET clears it, EXIT closes it without stopping your rod, and Kedrick can bring it back.
- A SCORE / TIME LEFT sign at the top: your longest fish this session, and a countdown to the next bite, so the one-minute wait no longer looks like a hang.

Also on the website: the Rankings page has a FISHING tab with the same list as the board.

TO TEST: fish at the Floating Market until a bite lands. The log and sign should update and the countdown should reset to 1:00. When you stop, the RESULTS card should show only your own catches. Click the board for your rank. Staying IN PROGRESS until someone has run through that.

Follow-up, LIVE on play.mapleverse.online now. Mark's pass showed the RESULTS card still listing the top fishers. That screenshot was from a tab loaded before the earlier deploy (a reload picks up the new build), but it also set out what the card should really be, so it has been rebuilt.

RESULTS (from Kob, or when you stop fishing) is your own record sheet:
- Left side: every fish species in the Floating Market, longest first, with how many of each YOU have ever landed. Ones you have never caught are dimmed, so the sheet also shows what is still out there. Five per page: the footer reads [1/4] and how many you have found; click it, or scroll over the list, to turn the page.
- Right side: Score Earned (your longest fish this session), Best Score (your record), No. of Times, and Reward: this session's best fish with its count, the EXP it paid, and your net Vesos after bait.
- The + on the Reward panel opens the REWARD LIST: every item fishing can give you (fish, the Onyx Apple, the Chaos Scroll, the Shovel...) and how many of each you have found, with your all-time fishing Vesos and EXP at the bottom. It scrolls.
- Kob also offers "See the reward list" directly.

The top ten stays on the ranking board itself, separate from all of this.

One honest note: the per-fish counts start from this build. Catches from before today were only ever tallied as a total, so your lifetime No. of Times and Best Score carry over, but every species starts at x0 until you catch it again.

TO TEST: open the results from Kob, flip the pages, click the +, then catch something and check its row goes up by one.

Fixed for Kai's report: fishing would suddenly stop with "Your ETC inventory is full" even though no bag was full.

What was happening: two of the things you can fish up, the Pot and the Shovel, are one-of-a-kind. You can only ever carry one of each. Once you had one, hooking a second one could not go in your bag, and the rod took that to mean your bag was full, so it packed up and told you ETC was full.

Now: if you hook a Pot or a Shovel you already carry, you are told "You hooked another Pot, but you can only carry one." and you keep fishing. That bite still uses its bait and still counts toward your No. of Times, but nothing is added to your bag, and it does not show up as a catch in your log or your fish records.

If a bag really is full, fishing still stops, and the message now names the right bag. The Onyx Apple and the Chaos Scroll go in USE, not ETC, and the old message said ETC for everything.

This is LIVE on play.mapleverse.online now (reload if you had the game open). To check: fish while carrying a Pot or Shovel, and the rod should keep going past a second one. Staying IN PROGRESS with the rest of this ticket until someone confirms it in-world.

Two fixes to the RESULTS card from Kuro's report, LIVE on play.mapleverse.online now (reload if you had the game open).

1. "Every fish row is named Salmon." The names were each row's own catch, but the catch table has five sizes of each fish (Salmon 288, 227, 183, 166 and 150cm, and so on), so a page of your longest catches was five Salmon. The pictures beside them were painted into the card itself and were never your fish at all. Now the card has one row per fish: Salmon, Sailfish, Carp and Whitebait, each with the longest one you have landed and how many of that fish you have caught in all sizes, plus a Prizes row for the Pot, Shovel, Onyx Apple and Chaos Scroll. Each row now shows that fish's own picture. The line at the bottom says how many of all the catches you have found; click it (or the + on Reward) for the full list.

2. "Reward shows -656706 Vesos in red." That number was what your catches paid out minus everything you spent on bait, which reads like money you lost. Reward now shows the Vesos your catches actually earned this session. Nothing about prices or payouts changed, only what the card says.

TO TEST: open your results from Kob. Four fish rows and a Prizes row, each with a matching picture, and a Vesos number that is never negative. Staying IN PROGRESS until someone confirms it in-world.

Closing this one out. The Fishing King board at the Floating Market lists the top ten fishers and tells you your own rank when you click it. Fishing itself (bait, catches, your results card and the reward list), the ball-drop game next to it, and the FISHING tab on the website's Rankings page are all live. Thanks for sticking with this since August, John, and thanks to Kuro and Kai for the follow-ups. If you spot anything new with fishing or the board, please open a fresh report so it doesn't get lost in this long thread.
