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

I'll check this one, thanks for reporting.

I did see a few "skipping item #" messages during the transfer but noticed they seemed to occur for data that may have already been transferred during the previous failed attempts.

The items that are skipped are reference data for talent trees, i.e.: how to draw the talent tree for a specific class. If you transfered, say, a priest from account B to account A, and your altoholic DB already knew a priest, then reference data for the class priest was skipped.

That makes even more sense

. I have some classes that are on both accounts so that explains the skipped messages. Thanks again.

I verified it was Altoholic by a complete UI reset (cache, wtf, and interface folder removed) and Altoholic as the only add-on. I keep the area headers collapsed except for the area I'm questing in and any time a quest is updated (ie. completed, an objective updated), a new quest is accepted, a quest is abandoned, or I access the Altoholic window all the headers expand. I have the quests/objective tracking for the Blizzard tracker all turned off. I don't know if this is a new problem or just started happening with the 3.1 patch since I've only been using Altoholic since the patch went live. If this is new it may be tied to the quest/objective tracking Blizzard implemented with the patch.

I've implemented an automatic clean-up for these, it will be in the next version.

Yes, tooltip management can be tricky, and I intend to review this in a few versions (I think for 3.1.003 or 004).

Expanding headers is required to scan the quest log, otherwise the content of collapsed header can't be read. I'll check if I can adjust this a bit to prevent the issue.

Edit: fixed

USUALLY i just send to a name or target someone and wait and that's enough -- even for a first time use. it may take 15-20 minutes but it finishes. With this version/post patch, it doesn't seem to finish. it lags out after about 1/3 of the new data and stops. This is after working around the various nil string errors mentioned below. I've gone to a 'quiet area' in a out of the way place (backwater city to be able to be side by side), out in a quiet zone, etc. It looks like it goes through about 1/4 to 1/3 the data and then just stalls out. Usually when sending a character type template that isn't on that other account. Then I restart it and zooms along and eventually it finishes -- but this is taking like six hours to synch. 3. I also have the "issue" (which seems to be working as intended/designed like with opening mail) for the quest log headers. based on your explanation I understand why it's doing it but it'd be great for UX / user experience if it'd re-collapse it after reading it.

Bug indeed, I just fixed it.

With the current public version, a normal character (lv 80, full professions, bags etc..) takes around 80kb to transfer, so it may indeed take 15-20 minutes if you have 10 fully loaded alts. The good news is that in the next version, I've reworked the way certain data is stored in the DB and won a lot of memory.

To give you an idea, my own database (10 alts) went from 4.15 Mb down to 3.34 Mb. Transferring an alt now takes around 40kb instead of 80kb. So there will be a real improvement in the next release. And all that is without compressing data (will come later, I need further tests to ensure a flawless transfer, which was not the case in my earlier tests), so there is still room for improvement

As answered to Meloric, this is now fixed.

.. and if you wonder about the date of the next release, I'll strive to do this next weekend, but it depends on whether or not I can reach the targets I've set for 3.1.002.

Glad you like it, suggestions are welcome in case you do have any, nothing is really set in stone

Raid ID's are there already, you can see them when mousing over an alt in the account summary. This is not the best place, but it's the best I could do due to time constraints back when I added them. That said, they will be moved soon to a more convenient place, but that's for 3.1.003 (or 004, priorities may always switch).

Eric S A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 0 Uploads: 0	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.
