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 don't know such addon. Care to provide a link?

On a more serious note, joke been told once is a joke. Twice is acceptable.
Multiple times - you are going to have people angry at you.

Write your own DataStore module and let altoholic syncronize it automatically across the guild.
Don't know yet if Altoholic allow guild-sync, though... THAT would be a request. Sorta.
Like... add *guild filter in authorisation pane.

And it is new to me, this never occured before - ever. When blacksmithing the lag is large enough to run additional crafts if the cast time is short. And there's no other add-on that keeps track of my skills AFAIK.

It's not really direct to keeping skills, it's more of accessing them.
LilSparky's Workshop for example. Having them two working together is such a pain, i only accept it because i can't really live without both of them.

It'sgreat, but has some old-data synching problems for our guild for some reason, so we've moved to ALT-O-Holic for everything and am hoping the author would be willing to add a few more guild-related features to make it the ultimate in guild interaction / management.

But there is one problem now.

The Search function works on some chars perfect on other chars it strikes. I can klick on the search button and nothing happens.

I created several new Alts.... any kind of class and race.... the searchfunction never worked.

There will be another bugfix release tomorrow morning, I fixed 2 search-related issues.

Would it be possible in the future to add a Guild Forum within ALT-O-Holic? A place where there could be a few separate forums for various things? This would replace going out-of-game for most guilds and their members and would allow guild leaders to utilize ALT-O-Holic to manage even more things in-game such as extended Guild Information, Rules, etc...

We were using GuildAds but are switching to ALT-O-Holic since it's data seems to sync much more easily.

I would say that this is clearly out of scope. It's a very good idea, but it should be an addon on its own. *IF* I ever to decide to do something like this, it won't be in the near term, as there is still a lot I want to add before.

Or be able to request item(s) they need. ALT-O-Holic can and is becoming the go-to Addon for Guild Interaction & Management. My guildies love it!

.. that said, I'm not quitting wow anytime soon, and I'm a guild leader too, so who knows

A few things are planned, like the remote talent inspect, or remote achievements, and more. The one thing that is certain is that there will be more guild features, it's just that the forum can turn into a really big feature. If it sees the light of day, chances are it won't be in 2009.

Thaoky An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 30 File comments: 19 Uploads: 1	@artphilia & AnrDaemon: Indeed, the skill up thing is a known issue. At least it was an issue before DataStore. Let me explain. Before DataStore, I was doing scanning the skills every time a CHAT_MSG_SKILL event was triggered, thus every time you gained a skill point. This implied expanding/collapsing headers which in return triggered another event to which other addons might have reacted, hence the potential slowdown. When coding DataStore, since I was aware of the issue, I implemented a small way to avoid scanning everything. I only update the skill level of the appropriate skill by parsing the message (faster, does not trigger other events). This is applied in DataStore_Skills & DataStore_Crafts (and also reputations, but that's another story). The only case where there might remain a delay is when you gain a skill point after making a yellow/orange craft (ie: you gain a point, I scan tradeskills to get updated colors). AnrDaemon, you mentioned LSW, is it still an issue now ? Based on what I just explained, what was problematic in 3.1 should no longer be in 3.2 (unless the TS window is opened). Do this help you figuring out what may happen ? I'd really like to understand what's going on here. Last edited by Thaoky : 08-12-09 at 12:39 PM.

It's still an issue with grey crafting for me. It stutters every time I craft something like bolt of frostweave or smelthing chunk of ore.
I'll try it without LSW in near future, and see what happen.

Which headers you are referring to in your "expanding/collapsing" phase? I was very curious all time, but forgetful when reaching forums.

AnrDaemon A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 156 File comments: 2231 Uploads: 5	BTW, issue I saw several times (I appreciate it was before DataStore), it still sometimes forgetting known recipes. My question is this: It is even worth it to purge and rescan known recipes when you can't forget... damn, you can >.< I forgot. Changing specialization triggers deleting of all specialization-related recipes.

Myster A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 167 Uploads: 11	Feature Request Would like to see a clickmodifier feature for tradeskill matts like TradeSkillInfo has. Currently I keep TradeSkillInfo around for that feature and would like to see it added to altoholic so I can remove it all together. What it does is allow you to click a modifier on a TradeSkill matt and it would open a window and show you all the "known" tradeskills that could use that particular matt. This would free up some more memory space because then I would no longer need TradeSkillInfo since this mod already does all it does except for the matts click feature. Thanks again for a awesome mod.

Turgis A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 24 File comments: 13 Uploads: 0	Bug with the new version Found out this morning when pulling items out of mail altoholic is now doubling up my available items. If I have none of an item on me or in bank and 2 in mail it tells me I have 2. Pull 1 from mail it says I now have 1 in inventory and 2 in mail. Pull the 2item item from mail it says I now have 2 in inventory and 2 in mail. I sure wish this was true I could get rich fast! It seems to clear itself up on a relog but its still a problem.

Uh oh, I'm excited... my brain... can't... stop... dreaming... up... ideas... -Separate ALT-O-Holic's Guild Features into it's own Addon. -InGame Guild Forms with Editable subForums and Officer or nonOfficer Access. -Item Request / Have Listing with Timer to List. -Enhanced Blizzard Calendar View (Removal of Blizz Events showing if possible.) -Ability to see all Guild Member Talents, Skills (Crafting and Action Skills), and anything else that wouldn't be invading their privacy, lol. -Guild Information on the main Guild-O-Holic summary page with the MotD, a Guild Description (For New Members), and a spot to show Guild Rules, Rank Structure, Guild Bank Rules and maybe something else we can think of. -Maybe an ability to limit specific things based on guild member rank perhaps. -More to come if interested. LDB PlugIn similar to GuildFu, but with clicky to open the member's Guild-O-Holic Info Page, which shows their Equipment, or Character Summary. Be interesting to see the layout for this, ALT-O-Holic is the foundation for so many Guild related possibilities it's endless! No more guild web sites please! :-D

Mook A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 125 Uploads: 1	Mail Expiring Warning Altoholic remains one of my favorite AddOns ever, it makes my WoW-life so much easier, so many times a day (10 characters, all classes, all professions)! Thanks sincerely for all the work you've put into this thing. One quick thing I noticed after updating a couple days ago - the Mail Expiration warning window used to pop up only once, on login (I'm pretty sure - admittedly my memory can be dodgy). Now it seems to re-pop up every time I zone, or die, or enter an instance, or leave an instance, etc. It's like a nagging wife that won't leave me alone hehe - just wanted to mention. Keep up the awesome work!
