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

Re: Re: Same problem as my pre-poster

When I deleted the data from the first time I synched I couldn't help but notice the error flood went missing.
Might just be random, but as of now, I don't get that error any more. Hurray!

One more thing: When I transferred those "faulty" bits of data (the first time) it took forever ... also, Altoholic didn't quite like the idea of both sides sending and requesting data at the same time. Maybe something went wrong there wich caused a little (or not so little) data inconsistency
At this point, it's indeed not recommended to share data in both directions at the same time. I think I have an idea of why the error you mentioned occurred, it's being worked on.

I'd be too scared to hard cross-link directories, but my thought (for my wife who has 2 accounts) was to log on both accounts at once and use Altoholic's data sharing feature to cross-populate the data that way. It's definitely more labor-intensive and manual though.
I've actually done that, also, Hevanus. Unfortunately, I kept running into configuration problems with other mods. It would take forever to set up a profile for each addon then duplicate it on the other account. Copy/pasting the main settings files only took the process so far. Some addons just don't like transferring directories.

Mind you, I am NOT complaining about how Altoholic works. This is perhaps my most favorite addon ever in WOW, this and ArkInventory. A merge of the databases from both would be heavenly bliss, but I am a bit skittish about mucking around in someone else's code. I am only suggesting a possible feature addition should it be feasible. Code doesn't always want to be cooperative.

AnrDaemon, try telling that to those of us with 2+ account and are virtually feeding all of our WTF info into one directory where Blizzard now sees it as, in my case, 19 toons.

Or, obviously, the ability to just see one character's equipment at a time, if you wish ;-)

Or maybe Thaoky will find an even better way to accommodate the situation

I've had a similar problem when hard linking multiple accounts to the same directory, so I've been trying to figure out a way to make it feasible to select the 10 toons to display and thought that checkboxes might be the answer. When the feature is enabled, a person could check up to 10 boxes on the main page to have that information shown in the frames like armor where there is a 10 toon limit. This is probably not the most elegant solution, but I have been unable to come up with another alternative. How difficult would this be to include as a feature, Thaoky?

Question Re: Can't view equipment for more than 10 chars on a given server...

Originally posted by Duman
Yes, I know that subject sounds stupid, but I have multiple accounts, and I have the account directories hard linked (NTFSLink) so that I can share addon data cross-account. This is awesome for most Altoholic-related stuff, but tragic for the Equipment View.

Since I therefore have more than 10 characters on a given realm, the "View Equipment" tab is basically broken/somewhat-useless for me. I end up seeing some of my mules' equipment, rather than "real" characters, for example

I'm not sure the best way to prevent this, unless you are willing to have an alternate view where you simply see a single character's equipment (rather than the nice side-by-side for (up to) 10 chars).

Perhaps give the side-by-side view a left-right scroll? Or some way to select which characters are shown?

Thoughts?

Or am I just SOL?

I have a small request. I use the mail system as a sort of bank so I mail stuff to an alt and then let it expire and return. That gives me 60 days before I have to figure out what to do with that item. Altoholic showing mailboxes on tooltip makes this much nicer but it lacks the ability to tell if expiring mail is going to return to an alt or be deleted. Can you add that and also give an option to disable expiring mail warning for stuff returning to my own alts? That would be very welcome.

Altoholic does not seem to be picking up anyone in the guild without Altoholic. There are 12 other people online in my guild at the moment, and I am all alone in my Altoholic Guild Members Tab. Also, Under Guild Skills, its is not grouping people correctly. Well, it is grouping them per account, but every toon on the account has a group like this, where A, B, and C are all alts on the same account:
A
  • B
  • C
B
  • C
  • A
C
  • A
  • B

I got this error a while ago, I'm not sure if it is related:

Hmmm... just a thought. You're using LibTradeLinks-1.0
It is possible to use it to decode tradelink into recipes list?
If yes, that would reduce the need of actual scanning of the book.

Great add on, first time trying it out and I get the following error.

"Altoholic-v3.2.001d\\Frames\\TabOptions.lua:260: attempt to index field 'options' (a nil value)\nAltoholic-v3.2.001d\\Altoholic.lua:1633: in function `?'\nCallbackHandler-1.0-3 (Ace3):146: in function <...Ons\\Ace3\\CallbackHandler-1.0\\CallbackHandler-1.0.lua:146>\n<string>:\"safecall Dispatcher[1]\":4: in function <[string \"safecall Dispatcher[1]\"]:4>\n<in C code>: ?\n<string>:\"safecall Dispatcher[1]\":13: in function `?'\nCallbackHandler-1.0-3 (Ace3):91: in function `Fire'\nAceEvent-3.0-3 (Ace3):119: in function <Interface\\AddOns\\Ace3\\AceEvent-3.0\\AceEvent-3.0.lua:118>\n\n ---"
It happens as soon as it's loaded. Not enough to effect game play so far but does spam my error file.

Thanks

Mmm... just an idea, but I think it's worth a look into.
If it's easy to implement, i'd like to have current char to be present atop of other when listing materials availability on alts.
