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

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

No offence taken.
Let's approach it from a more efficient direction.
Instead of guessing, what may cause this, could you please show us your addons list?
Install, if you don't have already, http://zip.norganna.org/libs/!Swatte...ter-latest.zip
Then in game, do a "/run foo()", then copy and paste here contents of the popped backtrace.

Agreed.

Altoholic most certainly does not work "without a glitch".

While I realize some addon users are quite demanding of developers, all I ask from a developer is this: a *little* communication. Communicate with your user base as to whether or not the issues they are having with the addon have been recognized as valid, and a decision as to whether or not those issues will be addressed. That's it.

In my case I have been as clear as I can about my issue. I have also shown that I have taken the appropriate steps to remedy it myself prior to posting here. Only once I spent my own time and determined that those steps did not resolve the issue, did I come here and make a post asking a dev to spend some of his/her time to help me troubleshoot it.

It's a devs prerogative as to how much they want to communicate with their user base. It's also a users prerogative to keep using or abandon a mod that seems buggy or is a bit light on the communication from the dev. What am I going to do? I think Altoholic will go the way of Sexymap for me and I will find an alternative. If it's fixed in the future, then maybe I will pick it up again.

Here's my motto for using any addon: If I can't get a dev to give me some input for an apparent bug with a mod, after I've done my own research and asked respectfully for help, then that's not a mod I am interesting in using for the long term. Ultimately, it's not worth my time and effort. Hope that advice helps some of my fellow Altoholics out there

BeanCounter marks them as read.
There's relevant discussion on Auctioneer forum.

I'm pretty sure the author's absence is very simple in explanation :P
Besides, the addon works without a problem so far.

I would submit to you that you haven't read the last four or five posts.

If you are not having the same problems that two of us now have identified, then you need to spill the beans.

Just to be clear, I have completely removed Altoholic and all saved variables (including Datastore) in an attempt to remedy this problem and was unsuccessful.

Is there any resolution to this problem?

Thanks.

I don't think we're gonna get any reply or fix. It's been several weeks since your post and only one week less since mine. No replies, no updates, no hotfixes, not even a comment that they are aware of the problem and working on a fix.

I give up already. I guess we just have to deal with another broke addon and the limited options available to us, until they break too.
