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

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

Thanks, I found it.
A full screen for it like the professions would definitely be nice, the popup is a bit hard to quickly see wich char has what. Maybe make them showup in search? that would work nicely too, if its possible.

My current target is to add this in 3.1.007. Assuming priorities do not change because a certain unexpected need arises along the way

LONG Load Time

Altaholic looks like a cool addon but seems to be doing something wrong on load. This addon consistently takes 4+ secs to load, for what it does, this is a LOT of time. The developer should look at finding out what is going on here. Because I use so many addons I've been recently looking at which addons take significantly longer to load than others especially based on what they are doing.

At which stage?

Long load times relate to memory usage. This addon is a database/information addon, it requires several libraries, the load (cpu/memory) of which is always credited to Altoholic because it's usually the first addon in alphabetical order.

That said, I do not "need to look at what is going on" per se, I know what is going on, and I know what I can do to offload part of the processing to a later stage, but this is a one man project, and the progress you do not see in the addon yet is not missing because I lack the skills to do it, but because I lack the time to do it.

The addon is big, and maintaining it requires a lot of efforts, which I am not complaining about, but which are there nonetheless. To summarize: be patient

I'm not sure actually where to post this.
So I'll begin here. When I open Jobber, I get this error which confuses the crap out of me... I'm sorry I can't read the error's better to know where to post them.
Should I also post this to Jobber's Author?

@Syxx: This is on Jobber's side, the line on which it crashed is where a Blizzard frame would be nil, which cannot happen, ever.

@Shadowjade: I've looked into it, but I couldn't find a way to reproduce it, it's very weird that this line causes an error because all values are secured before being used. Have you tried cleaning the addon's installation directory ?

Let me know

Multiple Account Support

Hi,

Do I need to do / enable something to get multiple accounts working? I have 2 accounts (both under a Battle.Net login) but Altoholic only seems to show / search the characters on the account I'm logged in to.

Is there a way to get it to list / search characters on both of my accounts?

Thanks

You need to manually syncronize data between accounts.
The big red "Account Sharing" button on Account Summary page.

A bit of an issue.
The "Biznicks 247x128 Accurascope" is marked as drom from MC, but it is not. It's craftable after schematic, which, indeed, drop from MC bosses.

Thanks for this great Addon. One of my most loved.

But one question:
We have more than one guilde. It is possible that i can check characters of one of this guilds when i am on with a char from another guilde? Dont know how i should explain this correctly.

Another try: Would it be possible to seperatly enter a Char like the members of a guild so that i can check allways the jobs and equip from this char?

sorry for my english but i hope you understand what i want to say.

This is totally normal, account sharing only works if you can connect both accounts at the same time, there is no other way to do it.

That is actually intended, there are a few items like that. Think about Benediction/Anathema, it does not drop in MC either, but when mousing over the item, my intent was to show that this item could be obtained by going into MC.

Anyway, this is going to be changed in the future, as my intent is to rely on LibPeriodicTable for loots/crafts at some point, but this is part of larger plan, so I cannot say when I'll reach that point, only that the tests I've made were satisfying.
