Altoholic

Version: 11.0.004

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

So that issue is still alive .. When I first had a look at it, my findings pointed to a hidden frame that seemed to be created by an Ace component, yet, I never managed to confirm this. I had hoped to updating Ace 3 libs would have fixed it (since nobody complained about it since a long time), but apparently not.

What you think?

Lin

Talent trees are already in the addon, meaning that you can see an alt's talent trees anytime you want. There's an tiny issue though, whenever talent trees are wiped, if you login a given character, his talents will be wiped in Altoholic too sinced they are scanned automatically.

Another thing is that, talent tree information such as the tree layout and talent dependencies is also scanned on the fly, and restoring a character's talent data (saved pre-pacth) on a modified tree (post patch) would lead to an inconsistency, which is why I did not got that way in the first place.

If i use Mobmap i can't see any amounts of stacks or pieces in the tooltip when i hoover over an ingredient for reciepes..

Is there any chance to get those two addons work together?

greetings from Gemany

Added on my to-do-list, I'll give it a look whenever I find the time.

Re: Clear the WTF altoholic.lua file

Yep. I was having the same problems. I just deleted the altoholic.lua file from in my WTF and all was fine again. Problem is that this happened from the very last version to this one. I'd put a disclaimer up that you need to clear the file out even on an incremental upgrade.

The thing is, under normal conditions, there's no need to clear the SV file, I had it tested by about 10 people before releasing, and all upgrades went just fine.

The people having a problem are those who actually encountered a db corruption prior to 3.1 (admittingly, due to a bug), and who hadn't cleared their DB since, so a wipe would have been necessary anyway.

Linix A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	New Additions First i would like to say - awesome addon, i love it! The recent patches prompted me to go out and find an addon that would SAVE my talent point to a file that could be restored later after wow wipes them out, again and again and again. There actually isn't many out there. There is Talented which does this and SO MUCH more... But all i wanted is it the be saved, i didn't need or want the addon to give me a new talent window. Well i did manage to find one called TalentTresor. Which leads me to this: I would imagine that Altoholic stores this info somewhere so that it can be viewed on other toons.

The file in subject is
WTF/<YourAccount>/SavedVariables/Altoholic.lua
Then, if you still having such issue, install Swatter
http://zip.norganna.org/libs/!Swatte...ter-latest.zip
if you do not have it, and provide full error report as it appears.

Thank you for the help, that did it..

I upgraded to the new version of altoholic today, and i ended up with a NIL error, i was wondering if there was something i could do to fix this, I never had this issue until the update today. It worked outstanding before the update, and i would really like it to work.

thank you for anyone who might be able to help

The only thing I've done is delete the SavedVariable files (Altoholic.lua and Altoholic.lua.bak) and it seems to have fixed it... I'll know more once I've logged onto all my characters.

How that happened:
At some point, the tooltips disappeared from all items in Alt. I though i'd relog to restart it, but bam - all frames are empty. New relog seems to have it fixed for now.

I'm sure it's something stupid and I'll /bonk myself a hundred times when I find the solution for this .. x)
