Overachiever   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Tools and tweaks to make the lives of players seeking Achievements a little bit easier.

Most features listed here are optional. Options can be found using the /oa command or at Interface Options -> AddOns tab -> Overachiever.

General:
  • Slash commands to search for achievements by name.* (Also see the "Search tab" feature.)
  • Ctrl+click on an achievement link to open the GUI to that achievement. Ctrl+click again to track it.
  • Remember achievement tracking between sessions and resume when you log in.
  • Automatically track timed achievements when the timer starts.
Achievement Tooltip Enhancements:
  • Add information from progress bars and normally-hidden progress information. (For example, "Progress: 5/10" or "Assault 2 bases (0/2).")
  • Compare progress using chat links: Display your progress below that of the player who linked the achievement.
  • Optionally add the achievement's ID to its tooltip. (Convenient for addon authors.)
GUI Enhancements:
  • Draggable Frames: The achievement frame is draggable.
  • Search tab added to the UI to search for achievements by name, description, reward, and more.
  • Suggestions tab added to the UI that suggests achievements based on your current situation: Location, recent tooltip reminders from this addon, etc.
  • Cooking Trade Skill UI:
    • Display icons next to recipes you need to cook for "The Northrend Gourmet" and "The Outland Gourmet." Ctrl+click on one of these recipes to open the UI to the achievement that requires it.
    • Works with the default UI, Advanced Trade Skill Window, Skillet, and lilsparky's branch of Skillet. (Users of lilsparky's branch must Alt+click instead of Ctrl+click to open to the achievement.)
  • Objectives Frame (Achievement Tracker):
    • Display a tooltip when hovering over an achievement title to see more details about it.
    • Shift+click an achievement title to add that achievement's link to chat.
  • Display a tooltip when the cursor is over certain achievements in the GUI:
    • Part of a series: Give the names of other achievements in the series and its relation to them.
    • Required by: Give the names of any meta-achievements that list this achievement as a criteria.
  • Meta-criteria (achievements displayed as the criteria for obtaining a larger achievement) in the GUI use a detailed achievement tooltip instead of simply giving the date the criteria was completed (or nothing if it isn't complete).
Achievement-specific Options:
  • World Explorer: Automatically track exploration achievements as you travel.*
  • Tooltip Reminders: Add information to units', items', and/or world objects' tooltips to help you complete...
    • "To All The Squirrels I've Loved Before", "To All The Squirrels Who Shared My Life": Do I need to /love this critter?
    • "Pest Control": Have I exterminated this critter?
    • "Well Read", "Higher Learning": Have I read this book?
    • "The Scavenger," "Outland Angler," "Northrend Angler": Have I fished this type of node?
    • "It's Happy Hour Somewhere", "Tastes Like Chicken": Have I consumed this food or drink?
    • Holiday Achievements:
      • "Let It Snow": Do I need to use a Handful of Snowflakes on this player?
      • "Fistful of Love": Do I need to use a Handful of Rose Petals on this player?
      • "Shake Your Bunny-Maker": Do I need to use Spring Flowers on this player?
    • "Northern Exposure", "Medium Rare", and many others: Do I need to kill this creature? (Includes many dungeon and raid-based achievements.)
  • Sound Reminder: Choose a sound to play when one of the above tooltip reminders shows up if you need to do something.

* See the included readme.txt file for more details.
† See instructions below.
‡ This is part of a modular component that can be enabled/disabled individually. See "Disabling Modules," below.


Key Bindings

You can associate key bindings with each of the new tabs added to the Achievement frame using the standard key binding interface. The new bindings are located under the heading "Overachiever."


Localization
  • Localized for English, Spanish, German, French, Russian, traditional Chinese, and simplified Chinese clients. Translations generously provided by users like you!
  • If you're interested in helping localize Overachiever for another client, please let me know.

Draggable Frames

The main achievement frame (where achievements earned and unearned are listed by category) is draggable when the proper Interface Options are set. Left-click on an appropriate area and hold the mouse button down to move the frame where you desire.

By default, the main achievement frame can be moved but it is still subject to some standard frame handling that will reposition it when it is opened or certain other frames are displayed. To unattach the frame from this position handling and have Overachiever remember where the frame is from session to session, check the "Remember position" option under the "Main Achievement UI frame" option. Once in the position you desire, you may want to uncheck the "Main Achievement UI frame" option so you don't accidentally move it elsewhere.
  • To customize the placement and more involving the "Achievement Earned" alert frames, try Achieved!

Disabling Modules

Some of Overachiever's features are implemented using modules, namely Overachiever_Tabs and Overachiever_Trade. Modules have their own folders that should be placed inside the Interface\AddOns folder alongside Overachiever. They can be enabled or disabled as you would a separate addon. Additionally, the individual Search and Suggestions components of the Tabs module can be disabled by deleting or renaming Search.lua or Suggestions.lua.

  Change Log - Overachiever
The change log lists changes of particular note to users, not every change made.

v0.48
- Suggestions Tab: Zone/instance and subzone override options added. Use them to see suggestions for locations far and near without actually traveling there!
- "Check Your Head": Fixed an issue where some races were associated with the wrong criteria.

v0.47
- "Check Your Head": Option added to show whether you need to use a Weighted Jack-o'-Lantern on players in their tooltips.
- Suggestions Tab: Implemented proper differentiation between 10- and 25-man raid achievements and proper detection of whether the player is in a Heroic instance, whether it is a 10- or 25-man raid instance, and (when not in an instance) the current raid/dungeon difficulty settings.
- Suggestions Tab: Many new suggestions added: Ulduar, Icecrown's Argent Tournament, Isle of Conquest, Onyxia's Lair (level 80 version), and more.
- Kill Creature Achievements: Now only shows a reminder if the player can attack the unit. This prevents reminders to destroy certain siege weapons (which can be either friendly or hostile) while they are friendly, for example.
- The option to not play a reminder sound for fishing node reminders if a fishing pole is equipped no longer affects whether achievements are added to the list of recent reminders.
- "Show achievement IDs" option now affects tooltips in the main achievement UI.

v0.46
- Timed achievements are now added to the Suggestions list when the timer starts.
- Achievements added in WoW 3.2 are now included in search results.
- Suggestions Tab: Fixed an error that occurred when looking at Suggestions while in Wintergrasp.

v0.45
- Updated for WoW patch 3.2.
- Suggestions Tab: Now only displays "The Fishing Diplomat" when appropriate for your current location as determined by whether the relevant criteria is complete and the current filter ("Earned"/"Incomplete"/"All"). For instance, if you are in Stormwind and the "Stormwind" criteria is complete, "The Fishing Diplomat" is only suggested when the filter is set to "All" or "Earned."
- Trade module: Fixed an issue where, with English clients, Worm Delight wasn't considered a requirement of "The Northrend Gourmet" because WoW lists it as "Wyrm Delight" in the achievement itself.

v0.44
- "It's Happy Hour Somewhere" and "Tastes Like Chicken": Implemented a system to work around the fact that, since WoW 3.1, addons cannot use Blizzard's API to query whether a specific item has already been consumed. The new system tracks whether items have been consumed itself and stores this on a per-character basis. The primary drawback to this is that all items are labeled as unconsumed until Overachiever v0.44+ "sees" you consume them (even if you consumed them before). (Additionally, in the rare event of a rollback, items may be marked as consumed when the character hasn't actually consumed them.)
- Trade module: Fixed an issue where, with English clients, "The Northrend Gourmet" didn't consider Rhinolicious Wormsteak as a requirement because WoW lists it as "Rhinolicious Wyrmsteak" in the achievement itself.
- Suggestions Tab: The Horde-specific versions of "Destruction Derby" and "Master of Wintergrasp" are now suggested to Horde players in Wintergrasp instead of the Alliance versions.

v0.43
- Added an option to display whether you need to kill a creature for an achievement in its tooltip. This applies not only to such achievements as "Northern Exposure" and "Medium Rare," but many others. See the option's tooltip in-game for more information.
- enGB clients: Fixed an issue where the completion date shown when comparing your progress with another's in an achievement link appeared in the enUS format instead of dd/mm/yy.

v0.42
- "Shake Your Bunny-Maker": Players of an unknown level ("skulls") are now assumed to be at least level 18. (While this won't always be the case, it's worth the assumption most of the time.)

v0.41
- "Shake Your Bunny-Maker": Option added to show whether you need to use Spring Flowers on players in their tooltips.
- Unit tooltips can now show multiple reminders when applicable.
- Tabs module: Achievement filters ("Earned"/"Incomplete"/"All") for each tab in the main UI are now saved between sessions (including the default tab).
- Tabs module: Fixed a display glitch that occurred when switching to an Overachiever tab if the previous tab's categories list was long enough to be scrollable.
- Fixed an issue that caused the client to lock up if the Objectives frame was used to attempt to open the UI to an achievement that is exclusive to the opposing faction.
- Trade module: Fixed an issue where, with English clients, "The Northrend Gourmet" didn't consider Spiced Worm Burger as a requirement because it is incorrectly listed as "Spiced Wyrm Burger" in the achievement itself by Blizzard. A system is now in place to allow translators to make these name substitutions for cooking achievements' criteria. (See the context notes for the TRADE_COOKING_OBJRENAME phrase in the Curse Forge localization system.)
- Mexican localization (esMX) is now supported. It falls back on Spanish (esES) translations when esMX-specific ones are unavailable.
- All localizations are now supported in the base code, though not all have translations. Please help contribute if you are able: http://wow.curseforge.com/projects/overachiever/localization/

v0.40
- Updated for WoW patch 3.1.
- Options involving the now-defunct achievement tracker have been removed. The default UI's new Objectives frame (AKA Watch Frame) has taken its place, and it is draggable.
- The remaining features that involved some interaction with the old tracker's icons are now associated with the achievement titles displayed by the Objectives frame (since the new frame does not use achievement icons). This includes achievement tooltip display and Shift+clicking to produce chat links.
- Watch Tab: You can now Alt+click on an achievement's chat link to watch it.

v0.39
- Tabs module: The new Watch tab has been implemented, allowing you to create a custom list of achievements. Alt+click on an achievement in another tab to watch it. Alt+click on an achievement in the Watch tab to stop watching it.

v0.38
- New option: Auto-track timed achievements.
- The exploration auto-tracking option will no longer cause tracking to switch away from "Bloody Rare," "Northern Exposure," or their followup achievements.

v0.37
- Tabs module: You can now use the dropdown added to the default UI in WoW 3.0.8 to filter Search results and Suggestions. The Suggestions filter defaults to "Incomplete"; by changing it, you can now display achievements that you've already earned.
- Suggestions Tab: Added battleground achievements.
- Suggestions Tab: Added Cooking and Fishing achievements. When the Cooking tradeskill window is open, all suggestions will be for Cooking. Otherwise, if a fishing pole is equipped, all suggestions will be for Fishing. In other cases, Cooking and Fishing achievements specific to the zone you're in will be shown alongside other relevant achievements.

v0.36
- Trade module: Now supports lilsparky's branch of Skillet. Because that addon uses ctrl-clicking on recipes to do something else, use Alt instead to open to the achievement associated with the recipe.
- Fixed an issue that occurred when using a client that isn't updated to WoW 3.0.8 yet (Chinese).
- Revamped the localization system.

v0.35
- Trade module: You can now ctrl-click on a recipe in the list to open the achievement UI to the achievement for which you still need to cook the recipe.
- Trade module: Now supports the addon Advanced Trade Skill Window.
- Suggestions Tabs: Added several new zone-based suggestions.
- Fixed various situational bugs.

v0.34
- Trade module: Now supports the addon Skillet. Achievement icons are placed before the names of recipes you need to cook in the main list. Tooltips and text beneath the selected recipe's reagents list indicate which achievements are associated with the recipe.
- Extra feature for Skillet users: A new sorting method, "By Achievement," is provided. This sorts the list of recipes by the number of achievements the recipe is associated with (provided you haven't already cooked the given recipe), then by the name of the first such achievement (which is "first" is determined by ID, though currently there is no overlap between relevant achievements), and finally, by the recipe name.
- Trade module: Fixed an error that occurs with non-English clients.
- Updated German localization.

v0.33
- "The Northrend Gourmet" and "The Outland Gourmet": Pulled this functionality out of the core addon and placed it into a new module, Overachiever_Trade. The module may be disabled or deleted if desired.
- The new module is far more efficient and accurate than the old system and fixes an issue where the reminder icon system didn't always initialize properly (which resulted in no icons appearing in the trade skill UI).
- Updated most localizations.

v0.32
- "Pest Control" (new): Added an option to display reminder tooltips for critters you need to kill.
- "To All The Squirrels Who Shared My Life" (new): Critters' /loved status for this achievement is now part of the option that exists for "To All The Squirrels I've Loved Before."
- "The Northrend Gourmet" and "The Outland Gourmet" (new): In the trade skill UI, an achievement shield icon is now placed next to recipes that you currently need to cook in order to earn these achievements. A tooltip indicates which achievement requires the given recipe.
- Added an option to display a tooltip when the cursor is over an achievement in the main achievement UI giving the names of any meta-achievements that list this achievement as a criteria.
- Changed achievement sorting so that two strings beginning with numbers compare the numbers first. This means "5 Exalted Reputations" is now listed before "20 Exalted Reputations," for example.
- Updated most localizations. Translations are generously provided by users like you! Please help contribute if you are able: http://wow.curseforge.com/projects/overachiever/localization/

v0.31
- Suggestions Tab: Many new suggestions based on your current location are possible, including those for: completing a number of quests in your zone, goals to accomplish in your current dungeon or raid instance (or, in some cases, one you are near), Heroic dungeon or raid goals when that is the current difficulty mode, City PvP goals when in a capitol city (varying, depending on your faction and which city it is), Wintergrasp PvP, and more.
- Suggestions Tab: Achievements you were reminded about through a tooltip within the last 2 minutes are now given as suggestions. Additionally, any such achievement in any Overachiever-provided tab has its background colored green for quick identification.
- "It's Happy Hour Somewhere" and "Tastes Like Chicken": Now examines item IDs instead of names, making this option more reliable.
- If draggable frames with saved positions are used and you log in with a character that doesn't have a position saved for one of these frames yet, the position used by the previous character is applied. (Positions are still saved per character, so each one can have a different layout if desired. This simply removes the need for dragging frames to the same location every time you log in with a new character.)
- Format of the completion date shown when comparing your progress with another's in an achievement link changed to dd/mm/yy for enGB and non-English clients.
- Fixed an issue where the achievement frame wouldn't save its position if the achievement UI loaded earlier than normal (as another addon may cause to be the case).
- "Let It Snow" and "Fistful of Love": Reminders should now trigger properly with non-English clients.
- Spanish localization updated.

v0.30
- Added an option to display a tooltip when the cursor is over an achievement in the main achievement UI that is part of a series in order to display the names of other achievements in the series and its relation to them.
- The Overachiever Tabs module has been released! This adds two new tabs to the default achievement UI. This module is installed as a separate addon: The Overachiever_Tabs folder goes in the AddOns folder along with the Overachiever folder. The module can be disabled or you can opt to not install it without affecting the core addon's functionality.
- The first new tab is Search. Use it to search for achievements by name, description, criteria, and/or reward. You can opt to only display achievements available in the normal UI or to include all achievements, including those exclusive to the opposing faction, etc.
- The second new tab is Suggestions. This is where Overachiever will display achievements you might be interested in based on your character's current circumstances. For now, it simply displays incomplete exploration achievements for the current zone, but more is planned for the future.
- Key bindings have been added to open to the Search and Suggestions tabs. Set them in the default key bindings interface.
- Individual tabs can be disabled without disabling the entire Tabs module by renaming or deleting the individual file that creates that tab. That'd be either Search.lua or Suggestions.lua.
- Compensated for a Blizzard typo that made Tel'Abim Bananas get overlooked by the "Tastes Like Chicken" check when using an English client.
- Spanish localization implemented. (Some unresolved issues remain. Please report any you find.)
- Updated German localization.

v0.25
- Updated localizations: French, traditional Chinese.

v0.24
- New option for "It's Happy Hour Somewhere" and "Tastes Like Chicken": Show whether an item needs to be consumed in its tooltip. A second new option has this display even when the achievement is complete (for the curious).
- New option added to choose a sound effect to play when reminder text is added to the tooltip about an incomplete achievement. It will not play more than once every 15 seconds. This uses LibSharedMedia, so any sound registered with that library can be selected. (No sound selected by default.)
- New option added to prevent the reminder sound from being triggered by fishing nodes when your fishing pole is equipped. (Enabled by default.)
- Fixed a compatibility issue that produced an error when some addons made the tooltip show before Overachiever was fully initialized.
- Simplified Chinese localization implemented.

v0.23
- When you enable an exploration achievement auto-tracking option, tracking begins immediately (if applicable) instead of requiring you to enter a new zone.
- Slash commands /oa, /oasilent, and /oas now show Overachiever's interface options instead of the main achievement UI when no argument is provided.
- Updated to latest LibBabble-Zone-3.0 (used for auto-tracking of exploration zones).

v0.22
- Fixed an issue that could cause taint if the draggable achievement tracker is enabled when performing certain actions while in combat, such as entering/exiting a vehicle.
- Updated localizations: German, traditional Chinese.

v0.21
- "Let It Snow" and "Fistful of Love" achievements: Options added to show whether you need to use a Handful of Snowflakes or a Handful of Rose Petals on players in their tooltips.
- Traditional Chinese and Russian localizations updated.

v0.20
- "Well Read" achievement option expanded to include "Higher Learning."
- New option: Show in fishing nodes' tooltips whether you need to fish them for "The Scavenger," "Outland Angler," or "Northrend Angler."
- Fixed an error that occurred when trying to open to an achievement that isn't in the normal UI. (For example, achievements exclusive to the opposing faction.)
- Russian localization implemented.

v0.18
- New option for "Well Read" achievement: Add whether you've read a relevant book to its tooltip.

v0.17
- The achievement tracker is now draggable.
- Traditional Chinese localization implemented.

v0.16
- Quantity-based criteria progress is now added to the tooltip even if it is of the type that would not use a progress bar when it is tracked, including information that is normally hidden from the user.
- When there are multiple criteria, your progress with each is now inserted directly next to its listing on the achievement tooltip. (Combined with the above change, you might see something like this: "Assault 2 bases (0/2).")
- Achievement progress comparison feature added, replacing the option to simply show your "progress bar data" in others' achievement links.

v0.15
- Revamped automatic tracking of exploration achievements to better support non-English clients.
- French localization implemented.

v0.14
- New option added to save the position of the draggable Achievement UI.
- Corrected German localization issue. Further work may be necessary, but this should be an improvement.

v0.13
- German localization implemented.

v0.12
- The main Achievement UI is now draggable.

v0.11
- Initial release.

Read the previous comments please. This has been stated about 5 times before -,-.
It's blizzard's fault they changed the API is all I can remember, I already got the achievement. Just scroll through the comments and you'll see what's what.

I had this problem as well; is your minimap at the bottom of your screen? The achievement tracker window is automatically docked under your minimap now. Move your minimap up to the top of your screen, and you should be able to track achievements again. Once you can see them, you can undock the tracker in the interface menu, move your minimap back, and then move the tracker wherever you want.

Re: Re: Re: Tracking too many...?

Olnir Orcsplitter: Please disable all addons except Overachiever and see if the issue still happens. If not, use the process of elimination to find out where the conflict lies. Either way, please open a detailed ticket here to help me stay organized and get the problem resolved. Thanks.

Nope. I use nUI, BigWigs, TBag, TweakWoW, RatingBuster, Advanced Tradeskills and Carbonite.

Ookami.kun: What are you doing when the error appears? And what do you mean by "lately?" After you installed a new addon (including a new version of an "old" addon)? Which one?

Disable all addons except Overachiever and see if the error still occurs. If it doesn't, try enabling/disabling addons using the process of elimination to find where the conflict is and I'll see what I can do.

Lately I've been getting this error message at random times. Not sure what the problem might be so I figured I'd post it to see if it something up with Overachiever, or another mod I use.

That's what Overachiever currently does, and it used to work. However, since WoW 3.1, GetAchievementCriteriaInfo always returns false for the "completed" return for that achievement for some annoying reason, and I've still had no response from Blizzard so I'll likely have to create a workaround using a character-specific saved variable table, which isn't ideal to say the least and means it won't be marked as "consumed" unless Overachiever version <whatever the new one is> has "seen" it consumed.

Ticket #49
I was thinking of this problem recently
I'm the author of tomQuest2 (a quest and achievement tracking mod) and doing some tests with achievements tracking i noticed that for those kind of achievement only one criteria is shown (GetAchievementNumCriteria return 1) and the criteria displayed is the name of one meal or drink to consume. Checking the code of Blizzard_AchievementUI.lua I noticed that for those it is using the var "flags" returned by GetAchievementCriteriaInfo() to display a progressbar instead of the name of the criteria :
Code:
elseif ( bit.band(flags, ACHIEVEMENT_CRITERIA_PROGRESS_BAR) == ACHIEVEMENT_CRITERIA_PROGRESS_BAR ) then
So I was wondering if all criteria associated with those achievements where not hidden but I did not had time to do some test and I won't be able for the next few days, so maybe you can do the test yourself
What happen for those achievements if instead of checking all criteria from 1 to GetAchievementNumCriteria() you do a while loop until the name returned by GetAchievementCriteriaInfo() is nil.

I had the same issue when using "FloatingFrames". I have now idea, how these two could possibly interfere, but they do!

Happens whenever I open something in the achievement panel other than the overview.

on items that you need to consume is there a way to disable that tooltip notification on the items which you've already consumed because it wont count them twice ( does that make sense? )

Nope, not at all. Try tracking 5 different 'Explore ...' achievements (preferably the ones you've already done) and then check the memory consumption again please.

Thanks in advance,
