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

Yes, but I don't use them. Were you thinking that I might have them installed and that they were causing the problem, or that I should use them instead of Altoholic? I haven't tested the quest issue, but the rep one happens even if Altoholic is the only addon enabled, and doesn't happen if it's the only one of my normal addons disabled, so I don't see any way to get around Altoholic being the cause of that problem.

If you're suggesting using those in place of Altoholic for those two functions, I'm not trying to use Altoholic for those two functions, it's interfering with what I am using (Broker_Factions and... can't remember which doublewide quest log), so I'd have to find a replacement for the functions of Altoholic that I do use, which is... quite a bit, just not the rep or quest log for normal questing activity. It is nice to see which of my toons needs some group quest that a guildie is asking for help with, however.

Well, the group expand/collapse thingy is a sad side-effect of how Blizzard implement their API and how you should work around deficiencies in it.
But there's always more than one solution to the issue. I'm long time using RepWatch for all my ... well, reputation watching needs.
Right now i'm thinking about diving into it's code to take some trips about improving it. No promises, though, but it's very good as it is already. I just have some ideas from my own expirience.
QuestHelper reducing the need to dig through horrible Blizzard questlog and provide priceless advantage of quest syncrinization amongst group members.

That's a different issue, but nice, however. I'll see into Broker_Factions, if it could provide me with overview of my needed rep... however, i'm almost done already, my only two WoTLK reps in progress are Exodar (for Argent tournament) and Frostborn.

I really like Altoholic, it replaced several addons I used to use, and I will continue to use it despite two shortcomings. However, I'd like to find out if we might be able to get two shortcomings "fixed." I realize that for most people these will probably be low priority, if they even view it as a bug as opposed to intended behavior, but I'd just like to point these out.

Whenever you earn any reputation while Altoholic is installed and active, all the reputation "folders" get expanded to reveal everything. Not just the Altoholic rep view, either, it happens to the base rep window as well. It's kind of annoying to have to recollapse the pre-NR reps several times each session if I'm working on my dailies for multiple factions.

Second, a very similar problem with the quest log, in that picking up any new quests (and it seemed to happen even if a party member picked up a quest) would expand all the quest nodes in the quest log, making it hard to find the quests you're actively working on.

I just noticed the second last night, but I rather thoroughly tested the first. With all addons but Altoholic disabled, the reputation would get expanded, with all addons but altoholic enabled, the reputation would stay as I last left it, so this isn't a different addon causing this, or even interaction with another addon.

Quest Log is fixed already, I'm working on the reputation pane, it's a quick fix and they'll both be in the next release.

Shouldn't be too complicated to add

It is only cooldown i'm using on my main.
Northrend inscription research CD shown fine.
Can't recall any other CD craft but i'll see what I can do. Probably some transmutations still have CD on them.

I fixed it, and it was really not that difficult, I just never keep the quest log open when I'm questing, so I never really paid attention. That said, I agree with your comment on this part of Blizzard's implementation of the API. I don't understand why they did not separate the data from the UI part.

My guess is that somewhere inside these API functions, there are server queries in more places than one would think (just found this out somewhere I did not expect it while working on my new addon). If only they'd listen, I'd have a good list of suggestions to make

I'll gather some mats and try to craft one to see if I have the same problems. Other cooldowns are working fine for me as far as I can tell.

I'd rather not have my guild track every single gear change/recipe learnt. Instead, a confirmation box for requests would be really nice.

Gear changes & recipes learned are not broadcasted over the guild channel, there is zero network traffic when you learn a recipe or change your gear.
Equipment data is transferred only when another player requests it, and is considered public since anyone can inspect you in-game, and the info is visible on the official Armory site.

Recipes are never transmitted, only full profession links are broadcasted at login, and never again during the session. If a player clicks on one of your professions in his Altoholic, no data is transferred from your machine to yours, it's actually a server request.

As far as turning features off, this will certainly happen in a way or another for other things that will use the guild channel (for instance if I ever allow looking into other players' bags, that won't happen without security), but equipment & recipes are rather public info, at least to the guild, so these won't be changed.

Otherwise most addons that hook SetItemRef will crash because of the 2 missing parameters.

Thank you for this, I wasn't aware of this impact, it will be in the next release (coming soon).
