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

Will I get the warning for all characters on the realm that are in danger or just the one character I'm currently on? Thanks again for a great mod and let me know.

So far, it does not tell you which char or anything (that's basically why I want to make this better), but you will know you have to check your mailboxes in the addon.

You don't have to support it, so far as I know. It just magically works. You will see about 18 characters for me on my home server, and you don't have to do anything.

@seebs: about that combuctor issue, maybe a hidden frame is present in a higher layer, and prevents you to reach the button. Did you try that command to get the name of a frame ? I don't have the command under the hand, but you can find it on wowace forums. I'll post it later.

It's an unnamed frame. And it is created by Altoholic, so far as I can tell:

* If I have no addons but Combuctor and DevTools, the frame is not there.
* If I have no addons but Combuctor, Altoholic, and DevTools, the frame is there.

Are you creating any frames with an ["UpdateTooltip"] function? It seems to me you'd have to be, so you could insert the information about which alts have an item while mousing over it. So I'd expect you to have such a function on a frame in the stack over a bank slot. But for some reason, the frame is not passing messages on to the Combuctor item slots as expected.

It will most likely work with the account summary, because there are no limits on the amount of characters, but it won't for frames like equipment/reputations/achievements. So there's definitely a need to do it properly. Those who want to use symlink in the meantime are free to do it, but they have to know they'll get no support because the 10 char limit is intended in those frames.

I didn't create any frame without name, I don't even think that wow allows this. As far as tooltips are concerned, I'm hooking gametooltip for counters, and I'm using my own for the information tooltip inside the addon, but I do not have any "UpdateTooltip" function, that's for sure. Furthermore, if the frame is hidden, no matter from which addon it's coming, there's no reason why it could disturb the UI. I'm a bit clueless at this point :/

Ahh, I see.

Yeah, that would be an issue.

Well, hmm.

All I can say for sure is that it shows up with only those two addons, and I'm pretty sure it's not in the other one.

I'll go do some testing and maybe make a stripped-down addons directory and start commenting out code or whatever and see if I can narrow it down. It does seem to happen only when Altoholic is loaded, but it may nonetheless be triggered in some unexpected way.

My guess is that it could easily be an Ace bug -- you have a bunch of embedded libraries which may or may not be doing something crazy. I do know that there's a ton of frames which have qualities such that tostring(frame) just comes back something like "table: 1B1C1234".

LibBabbleClass-3.0 is requested but apparently absent. 2. embeds.xml refers to "Libs\", but the directory is named "libs". The latter may cause issues on some Linux systems. ... And whaddya know. I downloaded LibBabbleClass-3.0 and renamed libs to Libs, and the problem goes away. Renamed Libs back to libs, and the problem came back. So, it's just a packaging thing. Name the directory Libs, or leave it as is and change the embeds.xml lines to refer to libs. Only affects us Linux users, and Mac users who opted for the case-sensitive filesystem.

Thaoky An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 30 File comments: 19 Uploads: 1	@dloboi: Fishing is the 5th column in the skills pane, it's been there for ages, are you playing in another language than enUS ? @seebs: About LibBabbleClass-3.0, yeah I noticed it was still in embeds.xml two days ago, but that will not be an issue. I don't need the lib, and if it's mentioned in the embeds and not found, there will simply be an error message in the log, but nothing that prevents you from using the addon. In fact, I've been using the addon with this "error" for long without even noticing. The directory name is a better candidate indeed. I've done enough *nix high level support to know it I'll change the directory name in embeds.xml, that will prevent this issue. Huge thanks for troubleshooting this issue.

Altoholic evolved a lot since I last looked at it and I like it I could not find out (by reading the description as I am not playing at the moment) if Altoholic already supports a function i love so much on the old "CharacterViewer" addon which is now defunct: * show in the item tooltip the amout of a current item on other alts including alt-name Is this possible? I would kill for this option! At least some NPCs! LOL! Edit: I just saw you commenting on just that feature here in the comments section, but I am still not sure if you state the amount of the item only or even the alt names where they can be found?

Is there any system options that shut off the email warnings or block them?

Where are they supposed to show up??
