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

Shown as "could be learnable" for chars with 350+ First Aid.

Books like these are trickier than standard recipes, but it's on my list.

3.0.007b has just been released, it's a bugfix release that corrects the various lua errors mentioned below.

I can think about two ways.
If you can see that character know certain rank of profession spell, it's pretty straightforward.
If not, it's a bit of trickery: if skill limit of that said spell is more than 25 points ahead of what the "book" need, you know it.

Corlicious A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 0 Uploads: 0	I'm a little confused about the guild features, and I've read the readme and this forum. Let me check my understanding. The guild member tab displays only connected members using Altoholic, and lets you inspect them or their alt's equipment. The guild skills tab lets you check the professions of other guild members...only if their connected? (and Altoholic users, I know) Or does it work through the account sharing feature, that once they've shared it, you can see it even if they're offline? Will you be able to see their equipment when they're offline, too? Can you see anything besides equipment, like their bags, or quests, or anything? I didn't get to play around with it much, and the two people who also have the addon were busy. So I kind of forget what the windows look like at the moment, and really didn't get to see them in action. But being able to see the skills offline seems like the best reason to get my whole guild to use it. And if that is true, or happens, then I'll definitely be back to make a donation! (I know, I should anyway, it IS a great addon.) Last edited by Corlicious : 02-20-09 at 10:47 AM.

I can't for the life of me figure out what trips this and causes it to happen, and so far it's happened only maybe 3 or 4 times in six months. I've never seen it happen mid-session, and have always noticed it happening upon a fresh game load/login. For me, typing /console reloadui doesn't fix it. The only thing I've ever been able to do to fix it is wipe out the saved variables and start over. [Edit: Interesting... in this case, deleting the saved variables did NOT fix the problem, so the blank info is persisting... some info is clearly there (it shows max # of recipes on a character, but displays nothing for example... mounts & companions work normally).] Very frustrating Oh - just some minor feedback off this topic.. the new behavior of combining Horde & Alliance (on the same server) in the same list is driving me bonkers. Same LIST is okay, but I would like a way to keep the 'sum assets' seperate (if I didn't overlook this option), so total 'server' cash doesn't include both factions, total # of items doesn't include my Alliance AND my Horde toons/banks/guildbanks, etc. Either way, it's a great add-on! I literally can't imagine playing without it. Last edited by Isidorius : 02-20-09 at 01:47 PM.

That's correct.

Account sharing & guild communication are two different things, and they are not related in any way. If you're a bit into programming, you'll see in comm.lua that the communication handlers are actually completely separated.

At the moment, you can only see connected users, but clicking the profession link of an offline member actually works (contrary to my initial belief), so it will be implemented in a future version.

Originally posted by Corlicious

You can't see the equipment of an offline player, and unlike the profession links I just mentioned, I do not intend to save a player's equipment in a cache, since it has actually no point, the info is interesting when you query it live, it doesn't have too much meaning if the player is offline and not even playing one of his alts.

With regards, to bags, quests and so on, you can't query them. My approach is that I accept to transfer information that could be visible outside of wow anyway, so things like your level, your equipment do not need security, especially in the context of your guild. The content of your bags however, is private, so it is not shared.

I do intend to share it in the future, but only with strong security, like for instance saying that you allow your guild mates to look into bag 1 but not into bag 2. Nothing is done, it's just an idea at this point, and I haven't made up my mind on the best option yet (suggestions are thus highly welcome, you guys know that by now

Basically, account sharing is about seeing everything from another account as if it was yours. Security is there, and once both parties have agreed to do the transfer, it becomes a matter of trust and is up to you guys

That said, if I'm getting you right, offline profession links will simplify your life once I implement them. Account sharing is fine, for it definitely serves another purpose

I am wondering.. really, I only made minor changes in .007b vs .007, and on top of it, there is absolutely no call to StartAttack() in my code.. You guys know Altoholic is not a combat addon.

This smells like the SetFocus issue where a specific addon is reported guilty when it is not. I'll make tests on my side, but there must be something else, really

If you make tests on your side, let me know what you find out.

As AnrDaemon suggested, the problem might be due to a conflict with another addon, and that's something that I cannot test for you unless I know which addon causes it (if another addon is indeed guilty).

A few questions to maybe find a cause:

- You said /console reloadui does not fix it, but does logging out and back in fix the problem ? (that is, without cleaning the DB).
- If this does not fix the problem, it means it is somehow reproductible, so assuming that's the case, when you're confronted to the problem, can you try to disable all addons except altoholic and try again ?
Hoping you don't have 100's of addons installed, the goal is to find which one is guilty..

Also, as I said, cleaning the DB should not be necessary, particularly if we want to find the cause of the problem. A lot of trial & error :/

Oh - just some minor feedback off this topic.. the new behavior of combining Horde & Alliance (on the same server) in the same list is driving me bonkers. Same LIST is okay, but I would like a way to keep the 'sum assets' seperate (if I didn't overlook this option), so total 'server' cash doesn't include both factions, total # of items doesn't include my Alliance AND my Horde toons/banks/guildbanks, etc.

Either way, it's a great add-on! I literally can't imagine playing without it.

Added to my list, I'll look for ways to provide your with this info for each faction.

I should've mentioned this - relogging entirely also didn't fix it.

Not hundreds, only maybe a dozen and some. Here's the kicker...

- Loaded game, noticed Altoholic wasn't displaying info.
- Tried /console reloadui - no change.
- Exited game, restarted - no change.
- Exited game, removed SV file, restarted - no change! (this one got me... I'd never seen it not display any info (for the current character obviously) after a DB reset)
- Tried /console reloadui - fixed.

Very weird. It occurred to me after the SV file removable didn't work, that I was going to start removing other add-ons to see if there was a conflict, but as you can see, the problem remedied itself before I got to that point. It is indeed a tricky problem to track down (and reproduce!).

If/when it happens again, the first thing I'm going to do it removing add-ons. Assuming the mere act of restarting WoW isn't "fixing" Altoholic sometimes, which could give false positives...

Great news! Keep up the fantastic work.

This smells like the SetFocus issue where a specific addon is reported guilty when it is not. I'll make tests on my side, but there must be something else, really

If you make tests on your side, let me know what you find out.

Yeah, i'm curious, too...
At first glance, I didn't saw that there's, in fact, no relation to Altoholic, other than error message text.
From the wild guess, I may think about variable used in global context where it shouldn't. I'd take a closer look at "self" definition in all addon code.

P.S.
I HAAATE Lua! It's absolutely uncontrollable language :/

If by any chance it happens more often for you than it does for me, you can try to find out what causes it (if there's any logic behind it that is) and let me know.

Typing /console reloadui should normally fix the problem, and you should not delete your SV file, as it's not related to the DB. My assumption is that ingame events are not always triggered in the same order on every machine, and that machine performance may impact this order. It's just a guess though.

Well I've tried reloading UI and to no avail on any occasion. I unloaded every addon except for altoholic and reloaded, but Altohloic again came up blank.

My system is a decent system: Quad Core processor, 3 Gig memory, 4 gig NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX video card.. I wish you luck with this, it is a excellent addon.
