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

Removing a character

Sorry if this has been answered previously, but this popular add-on has TONS of messages. I checked the FAQ.

I re-named my character a couple of months ago. Altoholic has been tracking the "old" character as just another character of mine. It hasn't been a problem until now, when it's detecting mail that is about to be deleted for that character.

Is there any way to remove this character from the list of tracked characters short of finding all of the entries in the various SavedVariables files and removing them individually?

Thanks!

Sorry, events went across the path and I was unable to play WoW last week. Just one thing I noticed, the quest turn lag occur even without any (non-Blizzard) addon, although it's random occurence. May be each 5'th quest turn-in.
With just QuestHelper and WowheadLooter, i get about 50/50 hangs.

Sorry but I have to ask: did you correctly clean all SV files (Altoholic + DataStore_*) ?

What action triggered this message ? I need some more info please

Yup, that I did. The trigger is just opening the characters tab. Also it's not saving info on all of my alts despite me signing into them and going to thier bank.

In fact, I had missed the fact that apparently, you did not enable all datastore modules (ds_talents, among others, is missing).

Disabling modules is not fully supported yet.

No /command for that, if you just want to reset professions, just delete datastore_crafts from the SV files. Scanning professions may require you to open/close the tradeskill windows a few times, it depends on how the local caches (spells & items) are populated.

Profession Filtering

Hey

Iv noticed when looking at the Enchanting profession, the filters do not let you filter by armour type, as in what armour you will enchant (Head, Wrist, Chest ext).
In the Filters list the options available are: Color, Slots, Subclasses. None of these offer the armor type.
This is something you can see in any of the other proffesions when looking at them via Altoholic, and its something the standard blizzard enchanting proffesion frame offers aswell when looking at the proffesion on the correct toon.
Is there any way to enable this?

Thanks

Edited:
It Is also randomly not showing prof data on random toons.
Ill log on one toon and see the profs, relog to a diffrent toon and see nothing. Log to a diffrent toon again and see it all, go back to the first toon, and see nothing after a few mins.
Its really random when it does and does not show the profs and on what toons it decides it wants to play up on.

Mail data disappeared

Hi, All
New to 'altoholic'. Been using about 3 months.

One of my primary uses is to keep track of mail between chars. I have three accounts, but have not yet shared them through altoholic. Yesterday, I was dual boxing...and one of the accounts completely lost its mail data. Altoholic suddenly showed that I had never visited those 50 chars, on about 7 servers. (The first account seems fine).

Is there anyway to recover that data? As an attempt to 'fix' it, I logged out, disabled then re-enabled addons. (Altoholic is all that I currently run). This was with hindsight probably a bad idea, as it lost all data for all chars/servers.

I have not yet upgraded to the March 2 version. Will this cause me to lose all data, also? Would I have to revisit all chars, to update them?

TIA

Aside from expired mails being cleaned from the DB, you shouldn't be losing data for no reason. You mention that the addon showed that you had never visited the mailbox for a lot of chars, that only happens if you've never really visited it (ie: there is no timestamp of your last mailbox visit), which indicates that data have been wiped.

Would you happen to have deleted (even unknowingly) your SV files for those accounts ? Are you using tools like the one other multiboxers are using (I think it's called symlink) ?

You don't mention which version you are using, but as long as it's not a 3.x, you don't have to clean your SV files, and you won't lose any data.

One last thing, could it be that you left Altoholic disabled in the addon list for your other accounts ?

Professions have been giving me headaches since day 1 x)

All I can say is that I spotted a bug that may hide certain filters if you go to the profession pane coming from the skills tab. If you're in the profession pane and select another profession, filters should be ok.

Scanning may sometimes fail (due to the way blizzard manages their item cache), so professions may happen to be empty, although I thought I had fixed that not so long ago (gotta check my code).

Regarding "scanning", I'd propose to always use profession link to populate known recipes list. I remember your argument that you need an actual scan to get recipe colors, but honestly, 90% of the time you sit at max skills (either game top, or you don't intend to level this profession on this char any more) and seeing failed search for a recipe you sure know is frustrating.
