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

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

AnrDaemon A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 156 File comments: 2231 Uploads: 5	Hmm... I can remember this has been mentioned before, but now, I got to it once again, now on a more serious matter. Issue is: It would be good if we could have a kind of planner along with mere tracking functionality. I.e. i'm leveling a number of alts, and they are in need of obtaining a certain level of reputation from specific factions.

1. What is Altoholic's memory footprint like?

Nothing to worry about. Memory is not an issue, unless you have aged system.

2. Can Altoholic add info to item tooltips regarding which alts (bags, mailboxes, personal banks, etc.) / guild banks have how much of that item?

it's primary intent of the addon...

3. I see that Altoholic has features that help you find equipment upgrades. Have you thought about implementing weight tables or some kind of Pawn integration to help the user better evaluate gear?

Feel free to download and install GearScore.

4. Does Altoholic provide any LDB data feeds? You mentioned that it tracks "money, /played, rest xp for each character, subtotals by realm, and grandtotals for the account" so it seems like it would almost be redundant to run AllPlayed with Altoholic.

The only feed it provides is the LDB launcher to show/hide addon window.

Thanks!

Seriously, I think, these, and many other questions could easily be gone in a few moments, once you give addon a try...
It took me roughly 7 hours to find and answer your message. You could have knew all that already in less than a hour by yourself.

I didn't know that was what it was called but Quartz does this and so does Lightheaded. Addon's folder sure getting cluttered. Previous version of Altoholic only added the "Altoholic" folder is why I asked.

Otherwise, not finding huge issues with the addon. It is an indispensable addon to me and I tell people about it ALL THE TIME. So many functions it is ridiculous! And in a good way, ofc.

Thanks

About the error message, if you can reproduce it easily, pm me with the error message (just the message, no addon list necessary). Make sure to mention the version you're using too (it should always be the last, but I prefer to ask).

Re: Using multiple accounts on same PC

As answered by AnrDaemon, Altoholic is an in-game solution, it does not provide any support outside of the game. If you cannot play both accounts at the same time, it's impossible to sync data, that's the way the wow client works, and the restrictions enforced by the game to preserve account security prevent to proceed otherwise.

All the API functions provided by the game only allow addons to query information about the current character, you cannot query about alts, you cannot query about other realms, and certainly not about other accounts. The existing implementation is functionally the best any author could come up with due to existing limitations.

Please read and understand before you made a pointless post.

Sorry, it is you misunderstood the way WoW client works.
It provides no ability to access data outside itself, including (excluding...) data on differrent accounts (too...), unless you explicitly share/syncronize data in some way.
That's what the "Accont Sharing" function does. Yes, you do need to have both accounts connected at the same time for the sharing. There's no other way for addon to work.
If you want to sync the data by other means (i.e. make a script that would rewrite DataStore SV's) - it's possible, but not for WoW addon.

You missed the point. I doubt you ever read or understand my post.
Please read and understand before you made a pointless post.

This addon works with 2 accounts when they both connect at the same time with the sharing, but it does not work if you usually only run one account at a time. Mainly because the data are saved in the account-based WTF directory, so you can never see any update on the alternate account unless you run both accounts constantly AT THE SAME TIME to keep up the sync.

I have tried the sharing and the sync does not work. The problem here is, when I run account A, usually my account B is offline. When I switch to account B, my account A is offline. They won't sync unless I run the other account at the same time (even if I don't play on it) intentionally to keep them on sync.

Well, maybe Altoholic is assuming that you always run 2 accounts on 2 PC at the same time. In that case, I think I can't count on it for multi-accounts, maybe just multi-characters on one account for limited use.

Basically I run them on the same computer, and only run both of them in the same time occasionally with an extra computer(because I'm not multiboxing and I can't operate both of them at the same time and it is usually auto-following only). At first I thought this addon would resolve my problem of unable to refer information of characters in my alternate account, looks like I still have my problem. The term 'Multi-Accounts' seems to refer to 'Multi-Characters', to be accurate. I'm not sure if variables can be saved in WTF by an WoW-directory based location(under WTF/Account) instead of Account-based location (under WTF/Account/AccountName). Without that feature, it would probably be impossible to handle a case like mine with Altoholic thought I really appreciate all the great works you have done in this addon. Any idea can this case be handled? Currently I can only refer to characters in the same account, not character in the other account, although their newest informations are in the same WTF/Account directory under different account-name subdirectories.

Now, if we could only talk arkayenro into incorporating your data store modules into ArkInventory.

That would be nice, I'd love to have another author's perspective on what's right/wrong/missing in DataStore. On my side, I need to work on detailing the API if I want other authors to follow. Now that the latest version is rather stable, I can work on that.
