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

I have 5 accounts (yes I am a TRUE alt-o-holic) and use a Mac. I actually use Symbolic Links to manage my settings (basically all 5 accounts settings are stored in one big directory, as I don't really multi-box, and when I do, I have some complicated scripts to make a second copy of wow, syncing the settings, etc., so again, no big deal). So my Account directory looks like this. lrwxr-xr-x 1 user admin 6 May 22 20:33 ACCOUNT2 -> ACCOUNT1 lrwxr-xr-x 1 user admin 6 Sep 24 12:38 ACCOUNT3 -> ACCOUNT1 drwxr-xr-x 20 user admin 680 Oct 1 12:33 ACCOUNT1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 user admin 6 Jul 21 2008 ACCOUNT4 -> ACCOUNT1 lrwxr-xr-x 1 user admin 6 May 22 20:33 ACCOUNT5 -> ACCOUNT1 Which all of wow has no problems with, and it makes things really nice for managing settings, etc. But this also presents a problem for Altoholic and it's Reputation / Achievements tab (and I'm assuming with the account sharing setting as well, this could be re-produced as well). As I have 33 characters in my Summary screen, but when I go to view Reputations or Achievements, it only shows 10 (and it seems to like to show my level 1 bank alts), with no way to page forward or backwards through characters. I assume this is just something I will have no way of controlling, as who has more than 10 toons right? I mean honestly, the reason I grabbed the Addon was that I have 6 80's, and trying to remember who has done what instance every day/week was completely out of control (especially when I'm on a low level alt, and I'm watching LFG, and see a group for something I want (VoA, Ony, etc.)), and Altoholic has completely solved this for me. But I was really digging the rest of the features as well, than I hit this brick wall. So would love to be able to fix this, or at least filter the display of toons on this tab to my 80's.

If this has been asked before I'm sorry but scanning through over 9k replies was a bit difficult...

Anyway, here it goes. I'm having some issues with the Calendar feature of this addon. I play both horde and alliance. On my horde guild I'm able to see all the events my guildmates post on the Calendar (in my alliance guild only certain ranks can see the events; which tbh is a good thing as not all members raid or are able to attend special social events etc etc). After opening the Calendar all those events get "registered" with the character in question and stay there forever even if the event date is over and they keep on displaying every time I log into the game. And not only that but they keep on displaying for all my toons on this realm whether alliance or horde...

Let me give you an example to make it more understandable. Say I log onto my horde warlock. I open up the calendar and there are 6 raid events planned. All of them (whether am I able or willing to attend them or not) get "registered" with my warlock. Then I log onto my horde mage. The events show up as registered with my warlock in the chat frame. I open up the Calendar with the mage and those same events get "registered" with him as well. Next time I log onto any other of my toons whether alliance or horde those events will be displayed in the chat frame along with the characters "registered" something really annoying and spammy... And this will be happening even after those events are outdated and over with new added to the list...

Yes I know this is my guild's fault tbh because they haven't set any rules on who's able to see the events in the Calendar or not but it would be nice if we get some more options regarding the Calendar in Altoholic... (Purge events etc, clean up unattanded raids etc)... Unless this is something already implemented and I'm missing the obvious...

And while we are at it, it would be great if we get some options to purge unwanted data not only in Calendar but in general...

Wall of text is over

It needs to be worked on, some items are already on my list too. About the entries being listed for multiple characters, it's something I need to check, but there's no unique identifier for events, so it would need custom checking. I'll see what I can do.

About outdated events, I added some more cleanup in my version already.

This multiplying of the items also shows up on tooltips where it lists how many of a given thing my characters have.

Again I'm not sure when this started, I tried to look back through old comments and couldn't see anything, but I'm not that observant so might have missed it.

Thanks for a fabulous addon!

I'd need to get a screenshot + your DataStore_Mails.lua to see what went wrong.

As long as you have BeanCounter scanning mail, or have sent it from your alts, it WILL be tracked.

Change:

Into:

Code:

for bagID = NUM_BAG_SLOTS + 1, NUM_BAG_SLOTS + NUM_BANKBAGSLOTS

Do the same with line 538.

Visit the bank with your alts, and you should be fine now.

I know this solution as I sent it to you via email and PM along with the Wowiki page on bag id's where I found it

BTW anyone else making this change you still need to include the do at the end of the replacement line.

This is an issue I have reported before and has never been fixed. The number of free bank slots on a toon is incorrectly reported even though the individual bags are correct. I have tried deleting the toon data and even deleting all Altoholic and DataStore saved variables and it still happens. Even manually edited in the correct value in to the saved file but as soon as the toon visits the bank it happens again. Finally verified it still happens when I completely deleted all saved variables, cache and the only addons installed were Altoholic and DataStore ones.

I actually keep most of my crafting materials in the mail, as 3-4 emails of 12 stacks of leather are a lot easier to handle than 48 bank slots full of leather, thus the concern.

As for the rest, hearing it's on the agenda is great. They'll come when they come.

Regards, Raederle

The functions that scan a mail's body and attachments are different. I can scan attachments without marking the mail as read, so they're taken into account. The only thing you're missing is the actual body (text) of the mail.

Here is a link to a screenshot showing various issues (this was done with the completely cleared wtf, cache and Interface dirs except for Alt/DS). Here you can see the individual bags are all correctly set to 0 yet the total is listed as 10. It also lists the total bank slots as 156 not 140 but this error of 16 is different from the 10 it reports! No matter what I do every time this toon visits the bank the slots free will get reset to 10. This file is a ZIP containing the entire contents of WTF and Addons directories plus the screenshot so you can see what has been saved. As I have a full realm of alts and I get this issue always occurring on 3/10 toons this is a real pain. Torty
