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

Regarding the time, there will be options to format the time in future releases, so that users can pick any format they like for time & date. @Isakowski: I'm pretty sure it's not Altoholic causing this. One guildmate had this issue, and I made him reproduce it without either altoholic or datastore enabled. I don't remember if he found the cause, but it was not altoholic. If anything, only one component could cause the issue, and it's DataStore_Quests. Altoholic itself does not use the quest API log at all, and DataStore_Quests only reads data, it does not impact the log either. @EvilGrin: Maybe in the far future, but we're not there yet, and I'm not certain it would add a lot of value. @Merneith: Thanks for reporting, I'll look into it. @gibreel: I'd have to look into what Jamba does to provide an appropriate reply, but Curse is down. The best place to start looking for information is here http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/datastore/ There are a few information pages to understand how it works (it's really not complicated). I'd assume what you are looking for is data updates, well then there are two ways of proceeding, either I add messages to which your addon would register, or I create LDB feeds (I don't know how to do that yet, but that shouldn't be too hard). Then I'd assume that publishing on Jamba's channel shouldn't be too hard. Another solution is to isolate the whole process in an additional DataStore module, that would be LoD and used only by multiboxers. It would be the preferred approach for me.

I don't expect either you of Jafula to do the work for me but I would like some pointers for where the appropriate place to hook into/extend DataStore so that it can publish/receive data across Jamba's communications channel. Any suggestions on where a good place to to hook in might be?

Altoholic is fine in game, but when I log out, at the last second it throws out this error: { ["message"] = "Altoholic-v3.3.002\\Frames\\TabOptions.lua:434: attempt to index field 'options' (a nil value)\nAltoholic-v3.3.002\\Altoholic.lua:269: in function <Interface\\AddOns\\Altoholic\\Altoholic.lua:255>\n<string>:\"safecall Dispatcher[1]\":4: in function <[string \"safecall Dispatcher[1]\"]:4>\n<in C code>: ?\n<string>:\"safecall Dispatcher[1]\":13: in function `?'\nCallbackHandler-1.0-5:91: in function `Fire'\nAceEvent-3.0-3 (DataStore):120: in function <...\\AddOns\\DataStore\\libs\\AceEvent-3.0\\AceEvent-3.0.lua:119>\n\n ---", ["type"] = "error", ["time"] = "2010/03/29 20:38:11", ["session"] = 11, ["counter"] = 1, }, -- [48] I'm not really sure what that's about but I wanted to pass it on.

EvilGrin A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 17 Uploads: 0	Hey Thaoky dunno if this is suggested ever before, but is there any way to assign or open the assigment box for Raid invitements via Alto-Calendar function? This would be very handy^^ I can see at the moment all invites from all Alts to a raid ... maybe you could make the "Status", when hovering over an appointment, as a button to do assigments to the raid your invited? Even if youre not logged to the toon whos invited... i mean i'd love to do assignments to other alts through Alto? and thank you for the mail expiry solution you did!!! __________________ ------------------------ evil regards <---...EvilGrin...--->

lsakowski A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	I haven't seen this posted here but there seems to be an issue with quests since they started loading the data for the next patch. It took me a while to figure out which addon was causing the issue, it looks like it is altoholic. What happens is: when you get a new quest, the quest won't appear on the quest list and the "number" on the map won't appear. Sometimes this can be fixed by logging out and back in, sometimes it can't. Then, when you complete a quest, the information reappears as though you haven't done the quest yet. So, for gathering quests it will show the number on the map again and when you look in the list or mouse over the number it will say "0 of X" for amount collected. Again, if you log out and back in it may fix it, may not. The one other thing I have seen more recently is the quest page will go blank. So no quest are shown on the page. I reinstalled it about 3 days ago and it was running ok, until I went to some of the characters on another server. I have a couple of characters with matching names on different servers. Could this be the issue?

I also need to rework the calendar to better support time zones.

To clean this I delete something in particular or the whole folder and download it again?

I do like the mail expiry warning, I have it set to 3 days, I only get the error when I mouse over the pop up warning to hit okay when it shows up.

So the military time is how it is right now? Just making sure I didn't miss something to show it's 12:00 am instead of 24:00 on a calendar. For me it's showing me my raid is at my locale time instead of the server time. I'm cool with that too, if I could just get rid of the military time.

Try to send mail to an alt who can't receive that mail from you (say, an heirloom item to a toon on another account).

Altoholic records the mail as being sent, but it doesn't actually get sent, of course.

Surprising, for two reasons.

1) The SendMail hook should only be called if the mail is actually sent, so I don't understand how it may happen. Can't test quickly, but I'll check that.

2) The list of alts that are checked in the hook are only for current realm/account. Any chance the other account you're mentioning was in the same guild & connected at that time ?

Thaoky An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 30 File comments: 19 Uploads: 1	@Teaminnovator: I have plans to change the order of alts in the equipment pane (and the other panes that look similar). There is no method to determine the order, it's just the way Lua places them in memory, and it's pretty random. @tiggerandscoob: Could you send me your SV files with an explanation of what goes right & wrong (+ char names, guild names, etc..) ? Thanks in advance. @willgk: constant account sharing is something I have in mind, I have to be extremelly careful with this though, as a poorly coded algorithm could result in a lot of bandwidth being consumed. There will be improvements to account sharing though. @jidz: I'm alone on the project, but I'd gladly welcome help Send me your SV files, from what I read, you did everything correctly. @Ihadurca: Regarding the error, it might be necessary to clean one SV file called DataStore_Inventory.lua. About the mail expiry, check DataStore's Options, under DataStore_Mails. I also need to rework the calendar to better support time zones. @Isidorius: I'll check that, it's possible that I missed something in there. Calendar code is quite touchy. @Imtrease: It's on my list. @nickyjean: Spells are tracked, but I haven't written a UI for them yet.

But I'm not much for military time, is there a way to change that on the calendar info? When I go to check it says my alt has a raid at 20:00 and I'd rather it just say 9:00. LOL Is there an option that I missed?

Maybe for both professions and class. Its just so helpful when powerleveling and I miss it back from when it used to work.

I'm sure it's solvable though.

lmtrease A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 0 Uploads: 0	Calender time I rely on this addon for almost everything I do in wow, including knowing when to show up and on what toon to a raid. I noticed though that altoholic seems to use my computers time instead of realm time. By the time the reminder comes up I'm generally already an hour late to my raid. Is there any way to alleviate this problem?
