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

Not everyone uses AucAdv + ETT (I don't), and having the character count is appreciated by many, so I do not see it as an unwise option.

It is easily possible to embed your data into ETT by hooking to EnhTooltip.AddHook, and since ETT uses smaller font size, it will take up less space, and may eventually improve overall usage experience ^_^
Look at EnhTooltip\Tooltip.lua for more information.
I have only one note - please allow 'position' to be user-defined... [/b]
Adding this info to ETT has already been suggested a while ago, that's something I intend to look into in the future. Thanks for the additional info though

Hello there

Mounts & pets are already in the wotlk version. Regarding the roster, this is a good idea, I could probably do something similar to the equipment pane. I'll have to think a bit about how it would look best, but I remember this in DKP addons, so it should be possible. Added on the todolist, but for a bit later. I'm waiting for 3.0 to go live to fix remaining issues (hard to code on beta realms..) and to start working on data sharing

Just noticed, that Altoholinc suggesting items to level crafting professions.
Good feature, but worst suggestion.
Crafting *yellow* recipe for leveling just a bad idea, worth only if you need tons of this item. Ding every 2-5 crafts.
Crafting *green* item - plain waste of resources, you'll get level every 10-15 crafts.
And it suggesting Heavy Grinding Stone to 150 Blacksmithing...

A few remarks about this, as the answer is not as easy as black or white.

1) Suggestions are just that: suggestions, it's not the ultimate perfect path to leveling a profession, it's an indication of what you can craft along the way to level up a profession rather easily, but nothing says you should stick to it 100%.

2) I don't see yellow recipes as a bad way to level up, it is of course not as efficient as orange recipes, but the return rate can be acceptable at times. I have 9 level 70, and thus 18 professions, 15 of which are at 375 and the last 3 are >360, and believe me, I have used yellow recipes with a satisfying success rate quite often since the game has been released.

3) Green recipes are indeed not advised, but from time to time, it's interesting to invest on a specific craft until it turns grey because it will be used later for higher level crafts. I know quite a few items are mentioned in the suggestions database.

4) I didn't make up all the suggestions, they come from the US forums where guides have been compiled for most professions, I referenced my sources in suggestions.lua. That said, they're not 100% similar to what you'll find on the forums, asI often merged multiple sources, and added a few hints based on my personal experience. I've play tested some of them from 0 to 375, and adjusted them along the way, but you will understand that I did not do that for all of them, so yes inconsistencies may exist.

All this to say: suggestions are probably not perfect, and I'm willing to improve them, but I need more than a report saying that they're not appropriate. If you feel something can be improved, please be specific, like:

"in profession x, you say that item y should be crafted up to level from 140 to 150, I would rather advise item a to 145, and b to 150".

I incorporate as much user feedback as I can in this project, and I rarely say no if a suggestion is appropriate, so never hesitate

Updated for 3.0.2

Hello !

The addon has been updated for patch 3.0.2, I hope you'll like the changes I've brought since 2.4.015. A lot of tiny issues have been corrected along the way too, but in any case, don't hesitate to report bugs and to make suggestions.

Re: Updated for 3.0.2

I did try and install this with a clean install, however once this was done - it shows nothing at all and there is then 2 buttons on the minimap for altohalic. none of the functions are working properly. I have unistalled this 3 times and I have searched for all the hidden files and back ups - still to no avail - it is not working.

The update is for WOW 3.0.2 (due out Tuesday if plans don't change), it will NOT work with 2.4.3, this is written is bold on the addon's page AND in the changelog.

Please revert to 2.4.015 until Tuesday.

Due to the change fact that I went from Ace 2 to Ace 3, the way fubar support is implemented also had to change, I've been facing a few issues with restoring the right-click menu (show/hide title, show/hide icon).

I'll bring it back as soon as I can.

In the meantime, may I suggest using a key binding, I've been using it constantly since I implemented it, and I must say that I personally find it more convenient than an icon

Errors when MouseOver Items in Bag

With the current version (clean install after 3.0.2 patch) I get errors with AltoHolic when mousing over items in the bag. For the bag I am using the newest Bagnon. I have to check on the exact error, somewhere deep in altoholic.lua. I can post more details later (here or in curseforge as ticket?).

Other than that it looks great as replacement for Possessions or Sanity Inventory to check on all my alt banks, bags, mail and so on. Really looking forward to it!

Re: Errors when MouseOver Items in Bag

Hello,

You can post the details here, I don't mind. Make sure to identify if altoholic is really the cause of the issue (test by disabling all other addons), or if the issue is in fact a conflict with another addon.

A detailed error message is of course necessary, and in extreme cases, a screenshot may also help, unless it does not bring more than the error message. Let me know more and I'll be able to help

Tooltip Question

I currently use Sanity, and one of the things I love about it is I can scroll over any item in a bag or bank, and see if an alt has that item as well, and how many. This made things very easy to find herbs while trying to level inscription last night! Does this mod do anything with the tooltips, or am I just going to be out of luck if I do make the switch to Altoholic?

(apologies if this double-posts, wowinterface is under heavy load!)

Re: Tooltip Question

Altoholic does this, it shows how many copies of an item your alts have in their bags, bank, mail or equipped. Guild bank is included too + if you have alts into many guilds, you can configure which guild banks you want to display or not. Can also be hidden/shown: item source (where it drops), item id, item level.

I'm inviting you to give it a try, you should not regret it

.. oh, and if you have suggestions, they're welcome !

Feature Request

I love using Altoholic to track all my characters info, with the new 3.x support, it's even more amazing than it was before!

I love being able to see my pets and mounts, but how possible would it be to put them in a list with check marks like the achievements, reputations, skills, etc. are listed currently? I'm not sure what kind of effort it would take, but it would make collecting them a little easier, so I thought I would throw it out there.

Thanks for all your work on this, it's one of my absolute favorite addons!
