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

Not a bug!

It wasn't planned, but I can make this happen

Feature request: This may be too much to ask, but would it be possible to record some basic info about hunter pets if the character is a hunter? A useful set of basic info might include: name, family, level, stabled (yes/no). A more complete set of info might also incude: current xp, xp for next level, and known skills.

Thanks again!
Added to my to-do-list.

Also, the "Recipe Radar" mod confuses its profession scanning ability.
The guild banks & the character names are two different issues.

Only guild banks on the current server are supported at the moment, but this should be addressed rapidly.
Characters with the same name on different server are indeed an issue, but I already replied a few posts below about this, it's being addressed.

About recipe radar, could you be more specific ? what happens ? anything I could do about it ?

[b]Not at the moment, I can't directly access information from another account, Blizzard prevents it, but I understand how it's an interesting feature. One of my original goals is to support communication of information/queries between guildmates, a little bit like gatherer does. Nothing is clearly defined nor set in stone at this point, but there WILL be communication between accounts in the future.

You'll have to be able to connect both accounts at the same time though, if
that can't happen, I'll never be able to help

Regarding the copy/paste of data, honestly, it would work flawlessly for some screens (like account summary, skills ..) but would make equipment and reputations bug if the character count is over 10.
Ah, yeah I was looking at Altoholic last night and I realized that for the Equipment part there's just no room for more than 10 characters. Oh well I look forward to seeing what you do with this in the future. Ya know, I'm quite surprised that Blizzard doesn't have an in-game Armory.

I've just installed it and from looking at only the first 2 characters I'm impressed.

But, I'm seeing 2 mini map buttons,

one has the text: Altoholic Left click to open/close
the other has the text: Altoholic Left click to open <CrLf> Right click to drag

I'd like to get rid of one of those buttons, being an Addon-aholic too my minimap circumference is pretty crowded.

CharC

CharA
Somewhat related to this, it seems that if an item is unique to one character that the counts do not appear. If Naranjar is the only one with a lvl 70 Shaman item the tooltip doesn't reflect that Naranjar has 1 of them.

I would find it helpful to display the count even if only one exists for one character.

Instead of the following:
Runed Adamantite Rod
Binds when picked up
Requires Enchanting (350)
"Can also serve as any lesser runed enchanting rod."
Vendor: (x1) 3g 20s
It would be:
Runed Adamantite Rod
Binds when picked up
Requires Enchanting (350)
"Can also serve as any lesser runed enchanting rod."

Naranjar: 1 (Bags: 1)
Total owned: 1
Vendor: (x1) 3g 20s

Gathering Professions

I haven't seen this addressed yet.

Mining appears in the list because you can open the Mining pane to use a forge and smelt the bars.
Herbalism and Skinning do not have their own windows and thus cannot be read into Altoholic's database via the same method.

Is there a way to record the skill level of Herbalism and Skinning due to this behavior?

Actually, no

The other professions have a list of crafts that can be made by the character, but Herbalism & Skinning simply don't, so there's nothing I can do about it. Their current level is however displayed in the "Skills" pane.

Regarding your other question, the count is indeed not displayed if the count is one, and I admit that it can sometimes be misleading not to know it, so I'll update it

Doing a little more detailed lookaround I got this error when I opened the Reputations screen on my L70 Hunter.


Error: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
File: Interface\AddOns\Altoholic\Altoholic.lua
Line: 1933
Count: 9
--------------------------------------------------
Error: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
AddOn: Altoholic
File: Equipment.lua
Line: 97
Count: 2

I closed the error frame and now I can view the reputation tab w/o problem.

Ahh, yes. Saw that after I posted the comment.

As Replacement for Recipe Book

Can this mod replace Recipe Book? Does it place indicators into recipe links to tell you if one of your alts already have a recipe?

When I received a fishing pattern from a quest it said "Can be used by Naranjar" in the tooltip before I learned it.

Can you delete/purge a character without deleting or editing the lua?
