Altoholic  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

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:


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

Edit: Found it, I'll just quote it here for ya.
Remove ALL folders with names start from "Altoholic" or "DataStore" from your addons folder.
Start WoW.
If you still see anything of Altoholic installed - you're meddling with wrong folder.
If not, then install Altoholic anew.

I know there's some backlog, I'll be working on it over the weekend.

About the glyph issue, I just found out about it, too late for a fix in this push, but it's on my list for the next release.

Thao

I just downloaded the update, and it didn't fix the problems I listed in my post which, I don't even know what page it was on. I'm hoping it was in this thread, lol.



Edit: Found it, I'll just quote it here for ya.

I apologize in advance if this is already brought up, I don't even know how to describe what's happening for me, so please bear with me as I struggle to use a vocabulary that probably is all wrong.

When I open up my Altoholic (V.4.0.005 by Thaoky), and I select the Characters tab at the bottom, I notice several things. First, there appears to be a double tab for the Characters tab, like there's another tab hiding behind the entitled tab.

Second, once I select that tab, there are no longer any icons on the left side of the window, below the pulldown option for which server I wish to view. There is a 'highlighted' icon, but no icon itself. What I mean by that is, there are the little gold dots, moving in a continuous clockwise motion around a square icon location, but within those gold dots, there is no icon. The other spaces where icons are supposed to be, there aren't any.

Further, at the very top, there are 8 icons, from left to right (as they have no title tooltip window to indicate the icon or search feature name); Female Dwarf in Christmas garb, 6/8 slot bag icon, yellow exclamation point on a blue background, tree on a left to right slanted hill with stars, money icon, paper icon, book icon and the last one appears to be a hand holding a hammer in front of a...clock?

Please excuse my ignorance of this stuff, I'm a retired disabled combat vet and, even wearing my glasses, it's hard to see some of this stuff.

Currently, the only icons that create a tooltip window with options are the first four, the second four are not selectable or even have a tooltip window appear upon cursoring over them.


One other thing I've noticed is, every day I play WoW, I keep getting messages about Calendar scheduled events that have already passed, as if trying to tell me, 'You have this long before you have to go do this!' even though the event has already passed, most of them now weeks ago, at the minimum (pre-Cataclysm release).



I hope I was clear enough with the descriptions, I'm presuming (since you created and maintain this addon) that you know what I'm talking about. I just hope I can find my way back here to check on this thread, lol.




PS. By the way, I'm not getting any error messages on cursor-over or click, the icons just aren't working at all in either case.

Ok, more info on the subject.
It seems that items, which was renamed in Cataclysm, confusing Altoholic.
Which, in turn, lead me to believe that whole inventory handling needs some attention. Item counts should not rely on item names at all, but solely on item links.

P.S.
Dragon's Teeth (ex. Wintersbite) affected as well as Sorrowmoss (ex. Plaguebloom) so far.

I've mentioned that earlier. Type "/framestack" and look to the order of frames. You'll be surprized.

Also the achievement section don't work at all.
Has been addressed even before that my reply, just read before post.

Not showing all the tool tips

When i go to the Characters tab then click on Equipment. All the equipment is there but when I mouse over them there is no tool tip. So you have no clue what they do. Also the achievement section don't work at all. Most everything else I use from Altoholic works.

V4.0.005

Thanks

Welcome back. I just submitted a bug report dealing with glyphs not being stored. Only noticed this happening after Tues patch so it may be related to some interface change made with the patch.

Hey, welcome back to the our little hell! I hope you allright, as do your family.

Regarding addon, there's one... or, well, two issues that probably most looming.
The layering issue, when item buttons became hidden behind some other frame and don't provide any feedback, and certain items don't get treated as themselves (Sorrowmoss would be one example), providing wrong tooltips regarding item amounts in posession. (The latter could be related to the changes in item links regarding reforging. It was last dealt in Enchantrix, you could take a peek at it's code for ideas.)

Thumbs up Updates

That's awesome news. I was looking into possibly doing maintenance on altoholic to fix some of the defects and that was looking to be a daunting task. I'm very pleased that you'll be doing it instead.

Achievement Error after 4.06 patch

To fix the Achievement error you get after the 4.06 patch, you need to edit Altoholic_Achievements\Achievements.lua and go to line 114.
The line starts with spaces and then [CAT_PVP_TOLBARAD].
Change the first set of numbers from 5414:5419 to 5718:5719.

Be sure to use a text editor and not something like word pad.

Don't use context menu to set focus. There's at least 3 other ways to do so, and two of them is just faster. (Read - better)
