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

This was a compatibility issue with Combuctor, but after discussing that with Combuctor's author, he acknowledged that the bug was on his side. That was a few months ago, and I don't know if he found what it was though.

Re: Fix for mail counter not showing in tooltip

Originally posted by Quagm1re
Check out line 959 of Altoholic.lua. It is using ipairs to iterate a table that can possibly have nils in it, thus stopping the iteration if it encounters a nil value. DataStore is returning nils, rather than zeros, when a container type doesn't have any of that item. To fix this, you can either modify DataStore to return zeros instead of nils, or change from "ipairs" to "pairs" on this line. That's it, and it's verified working for me.

Edit: Changing that one entry from ipairs to pairs fixes part of the problem, at least, but more changes are obviously needed if that is the desired route, rather than changing DataStore. This change doesn't fix the "total" value in the tooltip for a character, for example.

Edit2: Also change line 947 in Altoholic.lua from "ipairs" to "pairs" for an easy fix for now for the character totals.

Thanks for finding this one, saves me some debugging time ! I applied the fix on my side.

Re: Fix for mail counter not showing in tooltip

Check out line 959 of Altoholic.lua... ... change from "ipairs" to "pairs"

Thx for this small workaround... it takes effect as it should be

Disable all other addons, except Altoholic and DataStore*

Same happens on De/de client with the latest update.
No adding of the mail content to the tooltip. Only bags and banks are counted.

Hi there,
I haven't seen anyone else with similar issue, although it could be dealt with already. I can't see in the tooltip the items that I have in the mailboxes of my toons. If I point on something it's shows only the bags and bank slots. Although if I search in altoholic it shows the mails as well.

chees

p.s. great mod btw.

Same issue is happening in 3.2.003b.

It's a very small change, but an important one for (at least) me, so I wondered if you could put that back in, please, if it doesn't break something for a lot of other people.

The way I did it was to add "text = addonName," at line 151 of Core.lua, in the LDB launcher section -- now Broker2Fubar sees it as having text it can use. Again, I don't know if that's the best way to do it or would break the LDB for other applications, but if is and wouldn't, it would be awesome if it were added by default.

Thanks!

It's minor, I added it.

No error messages ? nothing ? Are all modules enabled (Alto + DataStore) ?
Care to send me a screenshot? I'm concerned about the 2 clear boxes.

Re: alt auto mailing

Originally posted by Fragglerock
Hi Thaoky, Thanks for the update

I've stopped using BulkMail and switched to MuleFilter that was suggested by another user. However, this is not ideal. For instance MuleFilter doesn't allow me to set auto-send functions for professions (e.g. send all cooking mats to my cook), each item has to be hand typed into the filter.

So, I was wondering if you had ever thought about implementing an alt auto-mailing feature?

Thanks again for a fabulous mod!

One of the reasons I moved the options to Blizzard's options panel is to offer greater flexibility without hindering the addon's own UI, so yeah, such things might make it to the addon at some point. I've made a few important steps into the direction I wanted to give to the addon lately, and I'm about to review my todolist to set priorities, so I can't say if this will make it sooner or later.
