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

Thaoky An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 30 File comments: 19 Uploads: 1	About the lag issue: I would discard X-Perl too so far, since I'm using it too, and I think I would have faced the lag issue as well if it was conflicting with Altoholic. Edit: Just tested bartender, not him either. From the reports I get, I think DS_Rep is clearly where I'll have to focus my attention, but I maintain that it's not guilty on its own, ie: the lag is triggered by someone else, and unless I find out who, it's tough to know what to change in my code. Edit 2: I was wondering .. I haven't brought any changes to DS_Rep in a long time except one in r14 on Curse. Would you mind giving it a try with r13 ? I suspect DS_Rep is not slowing down itself, but that this change may have triggered a slow down in another addon. In both cases, I'd revert that change if it proved to be causing the lag. http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/dat...tations/files/ 1/2: Throttling/postponing scan is something that is in my plans, it's just something that I want to do when I have a decent amount of free time to test the impact of my changes, and the small chunks of free time I have do not lend themselves to doing that now. 3: In fact, such changes have been in my mind for a while, and the changes brought to the characters & guild tab in the last months were a first step in that direction. But again, small chunks of free time = ok for small changes, not for in depth changes. Ex: changing the summary tab the way I intend to is trickier than it seems, since my intent is to move the calendar to its own tab, and to mix that implementation with a to-do-list. Not unfeasible, just damn long. 4: Same answer than 3 more or less, I've seen the way a character's equipment is implemented on the official armory, and I like the layout, so I'd probably go for something like that. Again: time. .. But don't get me wrong, the issue is not always the lack of time itself, it's its structure, combined with a very long list of things that I want to add. I guess it's just a way of keeping me busy for at least another year Last edited by Thaoky : 03-06-11 at 04:52 AM.

Until some player action, unless player in combat. 2. For events that require proactive scan of relevant data structures (like achievememnts, reputations and so on), throttle scanning to once/per. (Once per minute is largely sufficient, IMO.) May be even create a coroutine and run it in background with a low priority. Unrelated to the ongoing issues: 3. You have 3 presentation modes for data. List - Characters/Activity/Bag usage/... Inspect - bags/prophessions/... Compare - Achievememnts/Currency/Equipment/...? Group each of the presentation modes together on same tab? Lists on main tab, inspections on second... Comparisons somewhere else. 4. Speaking of Equipments tab, it's odd. It could be useful once in a while, when you want to compare your characters' equipment out of curiocity, but 99% of the time you want to look at single character's equipment in a compact, presentable way. The Guild inspect tool offer that possibility, but reaching it is very nonintuitive.

Well, I don't know how to treat it, but yes, disabling DS_Rep clear the problem.
Which is sad because it's the one of the most used modules for me.

For a thought: Bartender and X-Perl both could hook Rep changes to display Reputation bar.

Also, attempt to show a quest log when DS_Quests disabled raising an exception:

Well, I'm trying to solve some issues (or at least diagnose) right now.
Speaking of Wowhead Looter, I'd give my other thought a go before I finally confirm or dismiss it.
Also, I have insane delays upon entering instances since 4.0.006 installation, and for now, all fingers are pointing to Altoholic.

Erm, then I need a meaningful way of filtering/storing these. As there's just "a bit" too much of events pumping in every frame.

Oh, and "a thousand words" on the frame layering issue.

Thanks for the frame layering issue, I had fixed it in several places, but I had missed that one.

I would be interested in a feature that ignores mail being returned from one alt/main to another. That way I'd only get alerts for mail that would actually be deleted with no chance to recover.

Yeah, I know, from what I've read in other reports, I would suggest focusing your attention on quest addons. My current suspicion is that a quest addon is calling the function that requests the quest history a bit too often.

DataStore_Quest listens to that call, and saves the info it gets into the DB.
But if another addon calls the aforementioned function all the time, then indeed DS_Quest will work more, but it won't be guilty.

Some other addon is, but I have no time trying to find out which.

Btw, do you confirm that Altoholic alone doesn't cause the issue ?

I haven't had time to do all that loading of addons but I will try to get a guild run at some stage and tell them to be patient.
