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

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

Raid id's are visible in the account summary, when mousing over an alt's name. They'll move to a more convenient place in the near future.

So is there any way to fix this or just keep disabling Altoholic (or remove it) whenever I need to get into my bank?

One workaround was to close/open the bank 2/3 times and it worked afterwards. I had spent a few hours on the issue, but I never found the way to reproduce it with 100% certainty. Maybe check with Combuctor's author if he had investigated the issue on his side (I had provided some info back then, but never got a reply).

I changed to Bagnon, all the extra features in Combuctor I barely used anyway, just had it for the looks really.

I've still been having that problem also. It happens everytime I open the bank window. I saw there was some discussion on this on the Combuctor and Altoholic forums back around December, but nothing since. I assumed that it was working for most and that I was unlucky. I am able to get around it by clicking on a tab when I open the bank and then go back to the original tab. I consider it a minor inconvenience and have gotten used to it.

If there is anything I can do with helping debug this issue I would be glad to help.

I'm working on it right now, it's not random at all. I'll probably make an interim release when I've fixed it.

Well, apart from finding out a 100% reproductible pattern, I don't thing there's much to be done by an end-user. I know I wasn't able to find one.

The problem seems to come from an invisible frame above the bank frame. I know for sure that Altoholic does not hook UI frames (I strive to adopt a non-intrusive approach towards the default UI), and I name all my frames, even those I will not address directly later on, so if one of my frames was causing an issue, I would find out.

Combuctor, however, plays with the UI, so I think it would be a better candidate to cause such an issue, but I don't want to fingerpoint, since in the end, none of us might be guilty, it might just be an unexpected problem due to cohabitation.

I also suspected Ace at some point, since it uses A LOT of unnamed frames (bad thing imo, although I praise Ace3), it makes it hard to debug.

When hovering the mouse over my Level (on the Skills Tab) my Lockpicking Skill is displayed as 0/0. Are there any localization-probs with lockpicking (deDE)? Do I have to open some window I don't know? Skilling Lockpicking doesn't seem to help at all.

This is the translation I have :
L["Lockpicking"] = "Schlossknacken"

is it correct ?

Well, I'm not sure about internals, but the Client says "Schloss knacken" with a space in between when you have an action button.
The Skill-Tab of the Character-Display (where you check your Outfit) does in fact say "Schlossknacken".

So it's quite unclear.

If you can tell me where in your code this string is specified I would try myself and check around a bit, telling you as soon as I know for sure...

--- snip ---

Ok, in fact, I found your line of code... Wasn't that difficult. ^^

--- snip ---

Ok, changing it to "Schloss knacken" didn't seem to change anything. Where (or when) does Altoholic get the lockpicking score? Do I have to do something special? Gain a Skillpoint or something?

--- snip ---

In fact, when gaining a skillpoint it says "Schlossknacken" again.

Thaoky An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 30 File comments: 19 Uploads: 1	Re: Re: Re: Roge Lockpicking That's what I suspected. If the client spells it differently in two places, then the confusion comes from there. The right one is the on in the skills pane, where you see your weapon skills etc.. so basically, it should be correct. What you can check is your altoholic.lua in saved variables, I suggest using a text editor like notepad++ to see if the name in the DB matches what we're expecting. If you don't feel comfortable checking this, send me your altoholic.lua by mail.
