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

Hi, I check the 3 sites (here, curse & wowace), and I don't favor one over the others, so it doesn't matter where you post Regarding your problems: 1) Can you be more specific about what does not work with the FuBar ? 2) I'll have a look the auctioneer package, but I'm surprised that Altoholic is causing problems, since integration problems are usually related to improper functions hooks, and I'm not using any for the AH. The problem is either on my side or on theirs.. I'll check Last edited by Thaoky : 06-22-08 at 09:47 AM.

There's a FAQ entry that will tell you more about this.

http://www.wowinterface.com/portal.p...=faq&faqid=315

I'm currently working on the GUI to make it easier to add new features, and also to gain some space. Once I'm done with that, I'll work on implementing data sharing, so you'll be able to see info from one account to another.

It's getting closer, be patient

Sir Thorn A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Two things Well, three if you include me saying thanks for this addon. First, regarding BeanCounter: My guess is that the problem stems from both mods trying to read the mailbox. I'm not sure if one is marking things read before the other, or something, but I've experienced the same thing. BeanCounter relies on the mails to see what items were (not) bought/sold, and for how much. Then again, if the problem is regarding the new AH functionality, then disregard the above. Anyway, second thing: I posted a bug on the bug report part of this website. Just thought I'd mention it since it still shows as "Unconfirmed". Would you rather things be filed as comments here?

Yes, there's an option to do this, in the "Options" pane.

I haven't had time to check this issue yet since the gui is completely upside-down at the moment ^^.

But what I can say is that I don't think it's related to the AH, because as I said earlier, I don't hook any AH function. Your suggestion about one marking mails read before the other makes more sense to me, since when Altoholic parses content, it will read the mail's body (there's an option to disable this, it might be worth trying), but this is only necessary if you want to read the text while not at your mailbox, you don't need it to read attachments.

So if BeanCounter does indeed rely on that, it's probably the cause of the problem. Let me know what you find out

I'll check your bug report. It's true that I don't check this part as often since not a lot of people use it.

Mindleglalaxy A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 8 File comments: 59 Uploads: 0	Re: Bean Counter Problem! Hi, Just found out if I have your addon disabled I get a message on opening mail box that Bean Counter is now recording all your transactions (words to that effect anyway) (Sorry I didn't notice that sooner but the previous poster made me think of it instead of just doing without looking). But when I enable your addon that message doesn't appear at all and I get no records (Bean Counter) working but previous ones are there but no new ones work. So I think that the conclusion that its to do with the mail box is spot on. However having said that does it mean there is a way to fix it as it isn't just auctioneer its also any addon that records history of the AH. And it is obvious they use the mail box system for failure of auction or success etc as that is also a logical way to do it without being online all the time as that way it gives a record of all your AH transactions and there success without being online. As far as Fubar what I mean is that I only get your icon on the minimap and cannot get it onto my Fubar panel at all. I have tried clean install clearing saved var etc and even tried a few things in the code but I am not that good with lau so wasn't successful. I don't want it on the minimap I would prefer it on Fubar as I use it more for common things and the minimap for other addons. I have my own little system lol. When I go into options there is only an option to hide the minimap icon but no reference to having it on Fubar and reading WOWace forums my understanding is that people have it on their Fubar. If I right click the icon on the Minimap I get no references to detaching it from Minimap like other ace addons? Hope that all makes sense? Thanks heaps for looking into this its great to have an active author thank you heaps

Thaoky An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 30 File comments: 19 Uploads: 1	Re: Re: Bean Counter Problem! @Mindleglalaxy: Thanks for your input, it will be helpful. As I said, I'm busy working on the GUI at the moment, so it will be a few days before I can look into this issue (+ I'll be at the WWI this weekend, wooooot ). Regarding the icon, here's how it's supposed to work. The first time you install the addon, an icon will be placed by default around the minimap, and there's an option into altoholic that allows you to show/hide it. On top of this, if you have fubar 3.0 installed, you should automatically have an additional icon+text into the fubar, both of which can be shown/hidden. Would by any chance have an old AltoholicFu.lua in savedvariables ? if so delete it and try again. To all: By the way, about the GUI being reworked, I'm now using tabs like at the real AH, it's leaving me more space to add new features (like sorting abilities), so if you have ideas, they're welcome

Mindleglalaxy A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 8 File comments: 59 Uploads: 0	Re: Fubar Hi, I am using Fubar 3 and no other version. I have deleted all references to Altoholic and I do not have any options to select to have this on Fubar panel. This option screen only allows me to remove it from the minimap but no options to enable it on the Fubar panel etc (and nothing where you state below about having a choice I have nothing at all). I have made 100% sure that I have no redundant files including saved var files. When I right click on Fubar and select Altoholic it also has no option there for the Fubar panel only to display the addon, hide the addon, toggle it or disable the addon and do a search in the search field. Please help me as I have no idea why it won't work but it doesn't have any options on the minimap icon like all my other ace addons do that allow you to detatch from minimap, disable the addon etc they just don't exist. Right click you have set up for moving only and I don't know if that causes an issue. And as I have also stated done a complete fresh install of WOW and it still doesn't appear on Fubar. However having said that no one else seems to have made any comments at all or complaints so it sounds like its my problem but I have no clue where to start looking. I have also disabled everything except Fubar and Altoholic and still have the same problem so I know its not a conflict with another addon. I am using EN-Us client Alliance and horde as well. Sorry about this just hope you can help me out. Also using your addon on all my toons except the AH toon so that I still get all the benefits of this brillaint addon sheer genious I say to put this together well done and thanks again, Thanks in advance and looking forward to your reply

It's normal that you don't see any option about fubar into Altoholic's option pane, the fubar icon is supposed to be there by default (see screenshot), and you shouldn't have to go into fubar's options to show/hide the text/icon, this happens when right-click the addon's name or icon, not simply anywhere over the fubar, but I guess you knew that already. Let me know, we'll make progress on this.

Mindleglalaxy A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 8 File comments: 59 Uploads: 0	Re: Fubar Hi, That is correct I don't get that at all. However after further investigation I have to do the fault finding not you as I installed it on my laptop with the currect version on WOWACE same as my PC and it works fine on the Fubar. Therefore there must be something going on somewhere or the cache or Blizzard folder effected. As I started all addons up first then tried process of elemination where as on Laptop only used Fubar and your addon with out issue. I will get back to you with what I try as I have had to do weird things like this in the past for other add on authors as I love add ons lol. Leave it with me for a day or so and will let you know what I come up with if anything as no one complains in WOWACE forums or here on the contrary they want you to add options to the Fubar icon etc. Thanks for your help hope I can help myself and you out now.
