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

Any Idea how to get rid of it? These "Fatality" Messages are annoying...
P.S. i had to delete some of the other error messages from this Post. There where 13 Messages overall.

Re: Altoholic button problem with VuhDo

I like both these addons so I'd much rather they play nice together.

After installing VuhDo, I indeed saw 2 icons, and by using
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(GetMouseFocus():GetName())
while mousing over both, I saw that the names were:

VuhDoMinimapButton
LibFuBarPlugin-3.0_VuhDo_FrameMinimapButton

So I'm really sorry, but that's something that VuhDo's author has to work on, not me.

I'll need to make tests, but I think I may know what causes it.
When a skill point is gained, I scan the skills again, but what I do in order to scan everything is to expand/collapse headers, which probably triggers an event that LilSparky's Workshop responds to, and if his processing is important, this is most likely the cause.

Edit: well, after a test, it seems that a fix must be brought on both sides.

1) LSW registers TRADE_SKILL_UPDATE, which fires way too often. That's an event I only register while a craft is being made in alto, especially because of that. The event is also triggered anytime a header is expanded/collapsed. He should approach the scan differently.

2) I'll filter the message when there's a skillup, to make sure the scan is not triggered too often. Note that it only happens if you gain a skill while the tradeskill window is open, the assumption is that if you gain a skill point while it's closed, it's irrelevant to professions.

I can't make much sense, besides the fact that there's something going on both sides.
I'll direct Sparky to this post and see if he can make more sense of it.

But, really, that stutter was from every weapon skillup. And it went away by disabling Altoholic only. I can imagine there's interference between addons that produce this kind of issue, but only 3 addons I have which deal with tradeskills, are RecipeRadar, Alto and LSW. RR haven't been updated in months, and disabling LSW (and RR, and Auctioneer, just for the sake of testing) did not change the issue, every weapon skillup stil cause frame freeze for a moment, until I shut down Alto.

I'm quite confident that this is the issue, the event I was referring to should be avoided at all costs, and I talk from experience. When I first started coding tradeskill related features, I too wanted to use it, but I noticed that it's usage had to be narrowly controlled. I don't really know why blizzard needs to trigger it when a header is expanded/collapsed, but heh, that's their game, so I comply.

If Sparky needs info on how to approach his scanning differently, he can get in touch with me. He might also be interested in DataStore_Crafts, which is an independent module I've written to take care of professions (one of many modules actually).

TSU fires on pretty much anything that changes the trade skill window. i hook it because it's the only reliable way to react to new data coming from the server -- you can't just assume that when you open a trade skill frame that the data is available. on a cleared cache, a TSU might come many seconds after the frame is originally opened. i also throttle the processing associated with any TSU event i receive such that 1/10 of a second must pass with no new TSU events before lsw does anything with it.

you might be able to avoid a bunch of your rescanning by ignoring skill ups altogether. presumably, you scan after a skill up to determine any changes to skill colors. you might consider using libpt's tradeskill levels database to color your skills based simply on the level of the trade skill rather than doing an exhaustive scan after every skill up.

as for the particulars of this stuttering issue, anrdaemon indicated two things related to lsw:
1. it happens on weapon skill ups which lsw doesn't react to
2. it happens when lsw is disabled

Thaoky An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 30 File comments: 19 Uploads: 1	@AnrDaemon: I've worked around the issue in my version, I think the easiest thing to do is to comment the line Altoholic.TradeSkills:Scan(GetTradeSkillLine(), true) in altoholic.lua (around line 2260) If necessary, also comment Altoholic:UpdatePlayerSkills() two lines above. Tell me what you find out. @lilsparky: Thanks for your input, I'm working on DataStore_Crafts which will basically replace the scanning part of Altoholic, and I've adopted your idea of using LPT for craft colors, thanks for the hint. Everything will thus be fixed on my side. As a side note, I noticed you mentioned the reliability of data coming from the server, and from what I've seen so far, reliability is pretty much 100% with GetTradeSkillInfo() and GetTradeSkillRecipeLink(), but highly depends on the cache for GetTradeSkillItemLink() and GetTradeSkillReagentItemLink(), might help you looking at things differently if you deem that necessary. I'm using LPT too to work around the shortcomings of the latter two. Anyway, issue is solved, thanks again

keep in mind that returning nil's isn't the only way to be inaccurate -- simply not recognizing that a known skill exists is another. in fact, it's possible that you could get bogus data should a TSU update come thru in the middle of a scan and throw off your indices (probably pretty rare, tho).

from my experience, you can verify the reliability of the data by checking the first index to see if it's a header. incomplete trade data tends to not have headers. if you wish to avoid TSU hooking, you could check the first index and if it's not a header, abort your scan and set up a new scan a second or so later.

It is the latter. You didn't even bothered reading comments a page back prior to post. It is one of the very often asked questions.
Look through tooltips on account summary page.
