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

"When I updated Altoholic, all of the DataStore addons apparently disappeared, and they seem to be dependencies. Do they all have to be downloaded/installed separately now?"

Easy fix to some errors.

I have a very simple request. Please, please save your files as Unix (single line terminator). I have to make this simple fix this every time I update Altoholic.

For example I receive the error:
Code:
AceLocale-3.0: Altoholic: Missing entry for 'Enter an account name that will be
used for display purposes only.'
Count: 1

Call Stack:
...ddOns\DataStore\libs\AceLocale-3.0\AceLocale-3.0.lua:61: in function <...ddOns\DataStore\libs\AceLocale-3.0\AceLocale-3.0.lua:57>
Interface\AddOns\Altoholic\Altoholic.lua:137: in function `InitLocalization'
Interface\AddOns\Altoholic\Altoholic.lua:293: in function <Interface\AddOns\Altoholic\Altoholic.lua:287>
(tail call): ?
which refers to line 134 in Altoholic.lua:
Code:
	L["Enter an account name that will be\nused for |cFF00FF00display|r purposes only."] = nil
and is related to lines 198 and 199 in enUS.lua
Code:
L[ [=[Enter an account name that will be
used for |cFF00FF00display|r purposes only.]=] ] = true
The error occurs due to the fact that enUS.lua is saved in DOS format (CR/LF) while you use Unix format (LF) to specify the string to find for the localization.

This is not a huge deal for me.... it is a pain but it is manageable. For a novice user this might be an issue. I am not even sure if there are others with this issue since it may not even pop up an error without a debugging addon installed.

Thanks for a simple fix.

mvn, The issue was: I was getting the notice from an alt on a different realm, and I was only looking at the one realm.

I know, editing a file works, adding files doesn't. Anyway, it's a bad habit I don't want to teach to most users

Thanks Thaoky! I've been using this ever since the first release, and I must say that this is one of my favorite addons of all time. I have one -yes ONE- level 80 after 5 years of playing the game, so needless to say I am an altoholic! This helps control the chaos between characters and servers for me. Thank you again!
