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

With Altoholic+LSW it stutters every once right AFTER craft, when item appears in the bags.
RecipeRadar (the only other addon i could think about, that would have an impact on tradeskill window) was disabled.
In tests, it was both grey and colored craft with skillups.

Interesting input.

What happens after the first craft is most likely the scan for cooldowns, this one does not trigger TRADE_SKILL_UPDATE though, it read the visible lines only, so it does not mess with other addons. I've looked at the code executed by LSW when TRADE_SKILL_UPDATE is triggered, and no offense, but I think he does he bit too much in there.

Again, as I mentioned earlier, I do not scan the tradeskill window anymore if no point is gained, so grey recipes should not yield to any slow down :/

Although the Curse copy is actually different from the WoWI copy, both seem to work normally if I install them myself and bypass the whole WUU reformatting issue.

Weird, I don't use any automatic updater, so I have no idea what's going on.
About the difference between curse & wowi, it's usually temporary, it depends how long the admins take to validate the file (curse is often a bit slower).

I've been working with a fresh install of Altoholic, after having deleted the saved variables, to no real success. Anyone run across these sorts of issues? Most of them seem to be oriented around DataStore_Character, and it can't seem to record character data.

Could you just provide me with one or 2 of them ? Or screenshots ?
I'd like to find out why this happens. Thanks

Altoholic remains one of my favorite AddOns ever, it makes my WoW-life so much easier, so many times a day (10 characters, all classes, all professions)! Thanks sincerely for all the work you've put into this thing.

One quick thing I noticed after updating a couple days ago - the Mail Expiration warning window used to pop up only once, on login (I'm pretty sure - admittedly my memory can be dodgy). Now it seems to re-pop up every time I zone, or die, or enter an instance, or leave an instance, etc. It's like a nagging wife that won't leave me alone hehe - just wanted to mention.

Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks for the support

The expiry warning is fixed in my version, I'm working on a few other fixes before releasing it though.

If you want to fix it yourself, you can simply do this:

Edit Altoholic.lua (in Interface\addons\altoholic), find this line (around 1585) :

Altoholic.Tasks:Add("CheckExpiries", 1, Altoholic.Mail.CheckExpiries, self)

and move it back at the end of OnEnable() (around line 240).

Re: Ideas... Overflowing... Can't... Hold... Back...

We can call it: Guild-O-Holic... Uh oh, I'm excited... my brain... can't... stop... dreaming... up... ideas...

-Separate ALT-O-Holic's Guild Features into it's own Addon.
-InGame Guild Forms with Editable subForums and Officer or nonOfficer Access.
-Item Request / Have Listing with Timer to List.
-Enhanced Blizzard Calendar View (Removal of Blizz Events showing if possible.)
-Ability to see all Guild Member Talents, Skills (Crafting and Action Skills), and anything else that wouldn't be invading their privacy, lol.
-Guild Information on the main Guild-O-Holic summary page with the MotD, a Guild Description (For New Members), and a spot to show Guild Rules, Rank Structure, Guild Bank Rules and maybe something else we can think of.
-Maybe an ability to limit specific things based on guild member rank perhaps.
-More to come if interested.

LDB PlugIn similar to GuildFu, but with clicky to open the member's Guild-O-Holic Info Page, which shows their Equipment, or Character Summary. Be interesting to see the layout for this, ALT-O-Holic is the foundation for so many Guild related possibilities it's endless! No more guild web sites please! :-D

As you guys have probably noticed by now, I am a patient person, and I don't mind making big changes if I see the benefits they can provide, so it's quite certain that Altoholic will keep getting new features, including guild-related features.

I'm thinking about remote talent inspect, remote achievements, etc..
It's also possible that Altoholic itself splits into multiple addons, like I did with datastore, so that players who do not want certain features can disable them too.

Your guild-related suggestions are really good, and who knows, they might become optional modules of altoholic at some point

I'm keeping all this in my suggestions repository, but as I said earlier, don't hold your breath, my to-do-list is still long.

Pull 1 from mail it says I now have 1 in inventory and 2 in mail. Pull the 2item item from mail it says I now have 2 in inventory and 2 in mail. I sure wish this was true I could get rich fast! It seems to clear itself up on a relog but its still a problem.

I'm working on this one

Thanks again for a awesome mod.

I intend to add more info on what can be done with a mat, I don't which form it will take yet though (got a few higher priorites at the moment, so I haven't given this a lot of thought).

Category headers, the heart of the problem is that if a header is collapsed, the api won't return you any info about crafts. For instance, collapse all headers and you'll have maybe 10 lines, when there are actually 200 crafts in the profession. So expanding them all is mandatory, and collapsing/expanding triggers TRADE_SKILL_UPDATE which LSW reacts to.

I think I've discovered why my copy of Altoholic was screwed up. It could be two things, from my investigation.

First, I use WUU to keep my wow addons up to date. When it downloads an addon and unzips it, something in the text formatting gets screwed up. Here's a few lines as an example:

Altoholic.lua as downloaded from Curse or WoWI

--[[ *** Altoholic ***
Written by : Thaoky, EU-Marécages de Zangar
--]]

local L = LibStub("AceLocale-3.0"):GetLocale("Altoholic")
local BI = LibStub("LibBabble-Inventory-3.0"):GetLookupTable()
local DS

local V = Altoholic.vars
Altoholic.Version = "v3.2.001b"
Altoholic.VersionNum = 302001

Altoholic.lua as downloaded from Curse after WUU is done with it

--[[ *** Altoholic *** Written by : Thaoky, EU-Marécages de Zangar --]] local L = LibStub("AceLocale-3.0"):GetLocale("Altoholic") local BI = LibStub("LibBabble-Inventory-3.0"):GetLookupTable() local DS local V = Altoholic.vars Altoholic.Version = "v3.2.001b" Altoholic.VersionNum = 302001

I have no idea why this would affect Altoholic in this way, but it seems to. An errant tab or line break maybe?

My second theory is that the versions WUU was downloading from WoWI or Curse were different from the latest, but that doesn't seem to hold water. Although the Curse copy is actually different from the WoWI copy, both seem to work normally if I install them myself and bypass the whole WUU reformatting issue.
