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

Either right-click appropriate character in main interface window, or simply remove all DataStore*.lua files from WTF folder.

I will soon be moving to my new place, much closer to my work, at this point I only hope 5.4 will not hit in that time frame (late August/early Sept). After that, I will have a bit more time, get back to wow and update the addon on a more regular basis. Enjoy your holidays Thaoky

VonNegga A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Hi. Thanks for creating this amazing add-on. It's so incredibly convenient compared to playing musical characters trying to remember who has what, etc. One thing that's been driving me crazy though is that, in any window where you craft something, such as cooking, leather working, etc. each time you create an item which gives you a skill-up, the list of recipes/patterns/etc in the crafting window resets to the top. This only happens when you receive a skill-up, if that helps you at all. I tried to search for this problem thinking surely someone else has experience this but I couldn't find anything. Through the process of tracking down which add-on was causing this behavior, I found it was the "DataStore" component of Altoholic that was causing it. When I disabled Altoholic but left DataStore enabled, the problem persisted. The problem goes away when DataStore is disabled. This add-on is very popular and I find it very hard to believe that either nobody else is experiencing this problem or that nobody else is bothered by it. Regardless any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated. Edit: Also, is there some way to ignore characters of the opposite faction? I play Horde and Alliance on the same realm and Altoholic shows me information from characters of the opposite faction which is not only irrelevant but gets in the way of seeing what I have available to me on that faction only. Since nothing but heirlooms can be transferred to the opposing faction, for what reason is this information displayed? Thanks again. Last edited by VonNegga : 09-10-13 at 03:43 PM.

Thanks again.

About the craft thing, it's on the long list of things I need to triple check.

About the opposite faction, if you're talking about the tooltip, there's an option to disable counters of the opposite faction; if you're talking about the account summary, I plan to rework that tab, and to allow more filtering, including by faction.

capcanuk A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 68 Uploads: 0	Update Altoholic I would also like to thank you for this addon, it makes playing WoW so much more pleasant. That said, I'd like to know which files to delete to remove Altoholic completely. I WANT to continue using it, but it keeps pulling up old data, toons that no longer exist, materials that I don't have, expiring mails that aren't there... I'd really like to start fresh, but every time I've deleted the addon from the WoW/Interface/Addons folder, it seems there are files, somewhere, that are not being deleted. What do I need to remove to get a fresh start?

Barleduq Premium Member Forum posts: 135 File comments: 742 Uploads: 0	with regards to other faction Yes, telling Altoholic to not show other faction means it doesn't show what the other faction characters have. It does, however, continue to show what the other faction guilds have. I have my alliance toons in a (semi) private guild, House of the ConfusedCat. On the same server, I have my horde toons in a (semi) private guild, Horde of the ConfusedCat. On all my alliance toons, the tooltip for an item will show quantity in the Hordeside guild bank (assuming there is any of that item there, of course). Is there any way to turn that off? Have loved the addon for years now. Thank you! -Barleduq

You can delete characters, that no longer exists, directly from the Altoholic interface. Main page, right in your face.
Alternatively, remove any mention of DataStore_* files from the WTF folder, but then you will loose DataStore modules configuration as well.

Settesh A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 0 Uploads: 0	Sugestion Hi, I wanted to thank you for this addon, its great. I had a suggestion that I thought might be useful. Could this also track world boss kills across alts? For example people who kill galleon and Sha of anger every week on multiple alts. Could this track and show which toons have killed (and even coined) various bosses? Thanks again, love your addon!

menace97 Premium Member Forum posts: 4 File comments: 101 Uploads: 0	A few issues After playing around with the new version (and deleting all my old data), I have noticed that it seems that the option to color recipes at the AH or in your inventory/vendor (2 separate options if i remember correctly) do not work as intended. When I visit a vendor or go to the AH the recipes are all red for me if checked on, even the ones I don't yet know. The other thing is the glyphs still don't seem to be visible in a few cases, as it was in the last release for me, depending on which area of glyphs I look in, some are just missing (the graphic/icon). Thanks! edit: I also see the issue of Profession skill levels has returned: they often display as 0. Last edited by menace97 : 09-13-13 at 12:42 AM.

If you have Auctioneer installed, disable that option.
Regarding skills and other things, if you've deleted your SV's, you need to specifically and intentionally open every related window for Altoholic to properly scan everything.
