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

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

No, the pane didn't pop on its own. I just had a brief instance where I activated Altoholic on a toon, reloaded the UI, and saw no data for any characters in the summary pane. It fixed itself with a full logout/login, but it made me wonder if it might be related to reload versus full login.

I didn't snag the error or anything, however. Just did a clean reinstall of WoW (well, of everything actually) and didn't have Bugsack up yet.

I'll let you know if it comes up again.

Hello again Thaoky,

I just had a thought: Is there any data that is only loaded on login, but not when the UI is reloaded? I normally enable/disable addons (with ACP addon) in-game and then reload the UI, and I think I've done that every time I've encountered a problem with Altoholic.

I mention this because the summary-pane problem briefly popped up again when I activated Altoholic with a reload UI, and then all was fine when I fully logged out and back in. So I thought it might be something worth looking at if/when you have a chance.

It actually depends, some information is updated at specific moments (for instance: when you manually open the altoholic window), while some other is updated when certain events are triggered by the game (BAG_UPDATE will provoke a .. bag update).

So yes, there are data that are updated only at login, and sometimes a reloadui will not be enough. That said, I've been testing this for quite a long time now and there should normally be no problem on that side, as I'm using reloadui all the time (and I mean ALL THE TIME).

However, the summary pane should never pop by itself, as it's not bound to any event. If you can give me more details, I can check if there's anything in particular that I can work on.

Planned, should be implemented in a little while.. development pace is a bit slow these days as I'm really busy, but I keep adding features bit by bit.. I'm currently working on adding sort buttons in the various panes.

Can you implement a toggle for which guild banks to show in the tooltip? See, I like being able to search the gbank... but I don't have access to all that and it's a little misleading. Thanks so much for all your hard work on one of my favorite mods. Ever.

I update the "isResting" property when the event is triggered by the game, which happens when you enter/leave an inn. But for a low level character like your level 3, you've basically never triggered it, and I consider that the "isResting" property is true by default (which I'll change). It's normal that you don't see it in the SV file when you're out, as nil values are not saved. So it's a very small bug on my side, just enter an inn once with your level 3 and it will be correct. Will be fixed in next version Thanks for the follow-up, I appreciate greatly ! edit: if you want to fix it right away, edit the file core.lua, and around line 125 you'll see: isResting = true, change it to isResting = nil, (keep the comma at the end) Delete the SV file to be sure, and the problem should be fixed.

Yes, that was missing from him (and a few other characters actually, but all were resting so I didn't notice).

I reset the file and tested with my level-8 hunter. He started out parked in an inn. (I logged out and checked the file at each change.)
- Log in and out, no isResting property
- Went out of inn: no isResting property
- Went back inside: ["isResting"] = 1
- Went back out: isResting disappeared
- Went back in: ["isResting"] = 1
Also logged back onto my mage, and he had no isResting property either.

Hopefully that helps you out a bit.

As a side thought, perhaps a new feature would be an indicator on the summary screen showing whether a character is resting or not. Probably could just use the resting icon, and maybe a gray icon if not resting, with no icon for 70s.

Once I log on to him, Altoholic shows his rested XP at 11%. Also, I'm positive I logged out with no rested XP, since he hasn't even visited an inn yet.

I haven't checked that part of the code for a while, and there is one thing I suspect that may go wrong.

Can you check one thing for me please ? in the altoholic.lua in savedvariables, look for the character you mentioned, and under :

["char"]
["your_charname"]

There should be a property: isResting = nil,
If it isn't there, that may be due to a savedvariables file not being reset for a long time. I suspect a small bug in Ace2 DB when the structure of the savedvariable file changes without actually resetting the data. If this is so, then I suggest you clean this file and reload your characters, if not, then there's a bug in my code x)

I'll test that tonight anyway.

I'll edit this post if I run across anything else. Thanks again for this mod

~Rinel

Do you have other addons that play with the tooltip ? It's probably due to that. A small screenshot may help too

edit: nevermind, dont post a screenshot, I just saw that I had the same problem.. and the weird thing is that it happens only on certain flowers and not on others .. I'm looking at this right now.

edit 2: bug found & fixed.

There's your mistake. The database file is also called altoholic.lua but is located somewhere else:
