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

Is there a way to add a feature to the auction house's "usable item" check box for alts? I picture clicking that box and then having a list of all characters on that server. You could then click the toon in questions and it would look for that toon's usable items. Say I'm on my main, Troll, Shaman-80 , Minor, Engineer, Cook, Fisher. I choose to look at my Undead Warlock-35, Tailor, Enchanter, Lesser cook, Lesser Fisher.

I then search for armor lvl 30-40. It would only bring up cloth now because I'm viewing my warlock toon. I could then scan the Recipies for cooking/Enchanting/Tailoring/even pets. I would see everything that would be usable by my warlock not my shaman. I could pick up the world drop enchant that I never would have noticed otherwise without scrolling through all the recipes looking for an -Already knowing/Can be learned by- notes in the recipes.

Now I know recipe book does some of this but it would be nice to have an all encompassing option.

Any ideas or suggestions?

--Thanks--

Sadly, no. The thing is, I thought about something related to this a few months ago, and looked into Blizzard's own AH code, and the "usable" feature is actually a simple parameter that you pass to an API function call. What this means is that you simply tell the game whether your AH query should take "usable" into account or not, and everything happens behind the scene, the programmer has no control over it.

I think many programmers would have thought about this a long time ago (even before I started coding this addon

), it's simply not possible, AH interaction is rather limited when it comes to queries. In fact, the whole API is very much centered about the current character, and you can never ask anything about an alt (which is why the DB is used to store everything).

Sorry, can't exhibit my gratityde in more sensible way.

I know the feeling, it's one of the things that brought me here, and it required too many addons to keep track simple things, so I decided to build a good db and an interface around it

And thank you for the support, may sound like a cliché, but it means a lot to me... it means so much to me that I have started to code a second addon which will sort of follow the same philosophy (read "all-in-one") as Altoholic. I won't say yet what it's about, but I'll strive to make things in a slightly different way, and to answer needs that (hopefully) are not answered yet. Release is still far from here though (2-3 months I'd say, maybe more).

Since patch 3.1 isn't on live realms yet, I can only assume you're talking about PTR. My development version was based on a 3.0.008b on the PTR, and I had no issues with it. Version 3.1.001 is ready and waiting for 3.1 to go live (I'm still looking for a few testers before making the official release, PM me).

In any case, I would need more details than "it doesn't work"

I applied the fix below thinking it may have something to do with it as I was getting that error message also, it fixed my error messages but still do not get any info in those tabs... rest of the tabs seem to work correctly.

This is a very occasional issue that I'm keeping an eye on. Under certain conditions, this happens & simply goes away by itself. I still have no idea what causes it. Since I've never been confronted to it myself, it's a bit hard to bring a solution to it, but it's being monitored (people in my guild have had this problem, so whenever I can help right away, I make a few checks with them).

- Edit the file Interface\Addons\Altoholic\Altoholic.lua

return Altoholic.ClassInfo[class] or WHITE

You might have to clean your DB too, but it's not certain (I've faced situations where it was necessary, other where it wasn't).

Thaoky An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 30 File comments: 19 Uploads: 1	@all: The next version will be released slightly after patch 3.1 is applied to the live realms. To ensure a smooth upgrade, and although no database cleanup is involved, I would like to "recruit" a few testers who will review the new versions (this one and future ones) and inform me of the bugs they find. There's only so much I can test on my machine, and I don't use many addons, so I'd like to adopt a proactive approach and fix bugs before new versions are released to the mass, since a simple bug generates a lot of administration if I release too soon. So basically, if you want to get new releases slightly before others and provide me with feedback on the bugs you find, then send me a PM with your email address, and I'll add you to the mailing list. Serious applications only please, but I guess that goes without saying. For now, I'm hard at work on the PTR, and if some of you want a version that uses 3.1 features, I can already provide it. Thanks in advance for your help

And here comes couple of the errors.
Click the shared account entry on the main pane. Same when you click the [+] sign in front.

Disabling the button is easy in itself, but it might be a problem if I only enable it when transfer is complete. If the other party disconnects during transfer (which I cannot detect at this point), it would stay disabled and only a reloadui would enable it back. Anyway, I'll find a way to address this.

Regarding the errors, they're fixed in my version.

- Change line 1475 to this:

return Altoholic.ClassInfo[class] or WHITE

Regarding the fubar thing, well, if you guys tell me that broker2fubar does the job far better, then I think I'll test it and get rid of fubar completely soon.
