Altoholic

Version: 10.2.007

by: Thaoky [More]

Hi, my name is Thaoky, and I'm an Altoholic

Altoholic is an Ace 3 add-on written for people who dedicate most of their time to leveling alts, and who want to have as much information as possible in one place.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

I am back in the game since 28/12/2020.

If you are upgrading from a version below 9.0.003, YOU MUST CLEAR YOUR SAVED VARIABLES !!

This means cleaning the following files in \WTF\Account\<your_account>\SavedVariables : Altoholic.lua & All DataStore*.lua

About the add-on:

The add-on has been in development since December 2007 and was officially released in late March 2008. It provides you information about your alts (bags, mails, AH, etc...) without having to reconnect them all the time.

Supporting development:

You might not know this, but add-ons do not write themselves.
If you want to help development, or simply show your appreciation, use one of the following ways:

Making a Paypal donation here : [email protected]
Make a gift from my Amazon's wish list : https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/3A2XOLZ09V2A8
Make an in-game donation (EU only : gold, BOE's, pets, mounts, ..) : Thaoky @ MarécagesDeZangar

About the author:

I was born in '76 (you do the math) and I work as a Project Manager + Software Architect + Full Stack Web Dev (yup, multiple hats) in a large multinational, so my coding time is limited, and Work > Gaming.

I live in Belgium, and obviously play on EU only.

Assistance will be provided on a best effort basis, but in any case always be polite and respectful when asking for help, I am neither a teenager, nor a punching ball. I am a cool guy with people who are cool with me. Respect that rule and we'll be fine.

Availability:

2020/12/28: I am back in the game.

Current Issues:

2020/12/28: Due to Teelo's actions, I have reverted his changes and resumed development based on my latest version of the code. Some of his new features are temporarily not available anymore, some are gone forever. The main Shadowlands features will be back though, just be patient.

Credits:

I'd like to thank my guild, Odysseüs on EU-Marécages de Zangar, for assisting me since the earliest phases, thanks guys for everything you've done
Thanks to the all the people who have supported the add-on since 2008, and also all those of you who came on board later.
Thanks to all the guys who have helped with code/translations/bug tracking.. and well, project support in general, especially during my long absences. Such projects can be long and tedious, it is good to not feel alone

Join the #altoholic IRC channel on Freenode : irc://irc.freenode.net:6667/

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 8.0 : As with every new expansion, many things have changed in the API, and it is REQUIRED to clear your Saved Variables for the addon.
This means cleaning the following files in \WTF\Account\<your_account>\SavedVariables : Altoholic.lua & All DataStore*.lua

There WILL be bugs if you use your old files without cleaning them first.
Some fixes to work around API changes are too time consuming, so cleaning is required. A meagre price to pay once per expansion.

How to support Altoholic's development :

- Use the donate button either on Curse or on WoW Interface
- Support me on Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/Thaoky , the page is still being setup, it might take a few days before it can be used, I still need a banner.
- Make a gift from my amazon's wish list : http://amzn.eu/7xWdnbZ

If you like the addon, consider supporting it, this has been the long term effort and commitment of a single person. #OneManArmy

Not at the moment, I can't directly access information from another account, Blizzard prevents it, but I understand how it's an interesting feature. One of my original goals is to support communication of information/queries between guildmates, a little bit like gatherer does. Nothing is clearly defined nor set in stone at this point, but there WILL be communication between accounts in the future.

You'll have to be able to connect both accounts at the same time though, if
that can't happen, I'll never be able to help

Regarding the copy/paste of data, honestly, it would work flawlessly for some screens (like account summary, skills ..) but would make equipment and reputations bug if the character count is over 10.

In no specific order at this time. Lua does not sort non-numerically indexed tables (tables not indexed with 1,2,3 .. but with "charA", "charB" ..), so everytime you reload the game, the order is different. I intend to work on this, but it's on low priority at the moment.

Re: Re: Multiple Accounts

Bug report: I maintain a personal guild called Arcania on two different realms. This appears to be confusing the Guild Bank tab slightly. I always see the guild bank for the realm that I am currently logged into, but I cannot see the guild bank for the other realm.

It's not just guild banks. I have the same guild on two servers, and characters with the same name on several servers. It's not distinguishing between servers -- it now thinks my 70th level night elf druid is an 18th level blood elf paladin because of name collisions.

Also, the "Recipe Radar" mod confuses its profession scanning ability.

In addition to praise, I also have a bug report and a feature request for you. grin Bug report: I maintain a personal guild called Arcania on two different realms. This appears to be confusing the Guild Bank tab slightly. I always see the guild bank for the realm that I am currently logged into, but I cannot see the guild bank for the other realm. Feature request: This may be too much to ask, but would it be possible to record some basic info about hunter pets if the character is a hunter? A useful set of basic info might include: name, family, level, stabled (yes/no). A more complete set of info might also incude: current xp, xp for next level, and known skills. Thanks again!

So with that said, two things I'd like to ask/suggest. 1. Is there any way to see characters on my second account?

Thaoky An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 30 File comments: 19 Uploads: 1	Re: Bug report There's an official thread on the wowace forum: http://www.wowace.com/forums/index.php?topic=12308.0 But to be honest, I check this topic, wowace and curse on a very regular basis (my browser basically remains open on the 3 pages while i'm coding), so post where it's most convenient for you. I can see why there's a bug with two characters of the same name, I hadn't planned that, but I'll see if I can fix it quickly. Characters on different servers should never bother one another.. but this case is indeed the exception The two frames Equipment & reputation are and will always be limited to the current realm, because of the 10 chars per realm limit. The assumption behind this is that the information provided in these 2 screens is somewhat irrelevant if you're connected on another server. Regarding the fubar bug, I only provided basic fubar integration, more will come later. Since I don't use fubar myself, I'm not too familiar with its capabilities, but I plan to get back to that later. Point noted edit: I slept on it .. and I think there's something I can do about the equipment & reputations from other realms, stay tuned Last edited by Thaoky : 04-25-08 at 12:29 AM.

ronaldscott A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Bug report First: Great addon, I love it. It's already replaced almost all my alt-tracking stuff in one go. Second: Is this the "official" thread for Altaholic, or is there a place you find more convenient to check for bugs/etc? On to the bug(s). If you have two characters of the same name on different realms, Altaholic appears to get confused between the two and have trouble tracking them separately. I have a 46 Tauren Hunter on one server and a 20 Draenei Paladin on another, and ever since I logged the Tauren, Altaholic is convinced that my 20 Draenei Paladin is actually the Tauren (listing her under alliance nevertheless), showing the Tauren's skills, gold, etc. This issue seems to affect only the information shown in the Account Summary displays. Again, this is for characters sharing the same name. Second bug: Some pages, such as "equipment" and "reputation", basically any pages that use class icons for column headers, seem to leave out info for characters on some servers. In the above scenario, all my alts from one server are there, but the poor Tauren's information is not available on these screens. Again: Wonderful, amazing addon, with the potential to replace so many other addons I use. Keep up the good work. Last edited by ronaldscott : 04-24-08 at 02:04 PM.

I use ProfessionsBook, but have noticed lately that is it causing more trouble then it is worth, now that I can look at my alts crafts, can you set it up so we can search them as well? thx for your hard work and Wonderful Mod.

Regarding the 150% mode, I could do it, it's only a matter of multiplying the rest xp rate by 1.5, but you have to know that the real maximum rest xp is NOT exactly 1.5 level, at least not in terms of xp. There's an explanation in Altoholic.lua if you want to know more

(at line 2735 if you use 2.4.009)

Good, then i can take any further questions there instead, i always forget to check this place.

Highend A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 5 File comments: 35 Uploads: 0	Regarding the tooltip options: Atm the itemcounts in a tooltip seem to be a bit "unsorted". Can you add two options: 1. Alphabetical (in this case all charakters are sorted alphabetical independent of how many items they have) 2. Who has most (in this case the (total) item count for a char is the sorting indicator) Both of them ascending / descending? e.g: Item: [Runed Living Ruby] 3 Chars (CharA = 5 , CharB = 3, CharC = 1) 1. Alphabetical descending: CharA CharB CharC 2. Who has most ascending CharC CharB CharA In my case I like the descending alphabetical sorting most but your mileage may vary Tia, Highend

Thaoky An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 30 File comments: 19 Uploads: 1	I'm about to do the same with my alts to make some money in Quel'Danas I'll play a bit with the idea and see what I could do about it, can't make any firm promise at this point though, only that I'll think about it. I'm still working on the addon on a very regular basis and there are still a lot of things I want to put in it, but since I don't have too much time during evenings, my work is divided in small chunks. As I said, next version will be about improving the overall code (more source files, more manageable), better resource usage, etc.. so not many new functionalities, but the version after that should get more new features. My goal is to bring some love to the reputation frame, it needs it badly
