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.

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 donation, using the donate button
Make a gift from my Amazon's wish list : https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/3A2XOLZ09V2A8

This has been the long term effort and commitment of a single person. So if you like the product, consider supporting.

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:

2020/02/09: I have cancelled my subscription for an indefinite period of time, and I cannot guarantee if or when I will return.

Ongoing updates provided by Teelo (Jubei'thos-US):

For the Retail version of Altoholic: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/altoholic-retail

For the Classic version of Altoholic: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/altoholic-classic/

Licensing:

The add-on must remain free of use, in accordance with Blizzard's own TOS.

Future updates shall also preserve all references/credits to the original author in every file when it is currently contained.

Current Issues:

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 :)

Just downloaded this for classic, loved it in retail and excited to have it back. But the Item source feature seems to be drawing from a retail data pool. T2 helms listed as Nefarian in Blackrock Descent instead of Onyxia's Lair for example. Areas which have since been removed or had their loot tables reworked, like Diremaul, don't show sources for the items. Is there something I can correct for this or install differently?

I fixed this a few days ago by switching to a TBC version of LibPeriodicTable: https://github.com/teelolws/Altoholic-Classic/commit/f260cbe5a532b7142b48ecf1f14474d010bc82da

I am facing this weird error. When I log in the first time on my toon, it gives me the msg that I have about to expire mail on one of my toons. When I log on to that toon it has no unexpired mail (or any mail for that matter) and I logged on to all my toons to check if I am missing something and yet nothing. As a note it is a bank toon I regularly post auctions from so it is unlikely that there'd be about to expire mail on that toon.

If this is an internal bug please fix it. If I am missing something, do let me know. It has been bothering me for the last 4 days.

A few of you have asked for the addition of Essence tracking. Here is my official stance:

It shouldn't take much to add a Grids module that accomplishes this, along with a new Datastore component dedicated to it. However, if I were to go through the effort of writing this, it will become dead code in a couple of months when Shadowlands releases. I'd go through the effort of writing it... for what? For 21 of you to continue paying Thaoky money every month while I get nothing? I'll just wait for Shadowlands and make a unit to track whatever they're adding there, instead. And I'll get started on that as soon as Blizzard gives me an alpha key. Annnnnnnnnnny day now...!

In reply to TeeloJubeithos:

Completely understandable, just playing game I'm already skipping things because: Shadowlands is around the corner making most stuff useless.

I'm sure Shadowlands will give quite a bit of work on its own. No need to put more on your plate for a system that will be scrapped.

Hi guys,

I would have a feature request:

Currently I try to get many rank 3 essences to be able to buy them for my Alts with the new Echo-System.

Unfortunately I have no good overview which character of mine currently has a rank 2 essence to continue the farming,

I have to switch to the different characters and lookt every time.

Would it be possible to add such an overview in the regular character Grid view, that I can see the rank of the essences on every characcter in the grid?

This would be really helpful.

Thank you very much in advance!

I support this motion!!!!

Sorry if this is a noob question, but how do you show "Rested XP" for the various characters? I dug around in Google and couldn't find anything. Thanks!

Sorry to have to ask such a basic question....how do you access Altoholic in game? I used to have a button by my mini map but can't seem to find one now. I just updated the app thru Twitch ( I liked Curse when it was not associated with Twitch) I have been away from the game for a while so I am having to re-learn everything. Thanks for your help..Love the app and have recommended it to all my friends who play WOW

It's tricky in the versions...

I removed the altoholic and datastore folders and then tried both the latest commit github as from a download from this site: Altoholic+Classic+v1.13.001.zip and I kept getting this error.
but on github releases there is https://github.com/teelolws/Altoholic-Classic/releases/tag/v1.13.4-013 which worked.

Is there an option outside of editing the source code to not be absolutely blasted with messages like this over and over and over and over and over and over as the weekly reset approaches?

[08:30] Altoholic: Throne of Thunder 25 Player will be unlocked in 30 minutes
[08:30] Altoholic: Throne of Thunder 25 Player will be unlocked in 30 minutes
[08:30] Altoholic: Throne of Thunder 25 Player (Heroic) will be unlocked in 30 minutes
[08:30] Altoholic: Karazhan 10 Player will be unlocked in 30 minutes
[08:30] Altoholic: Freehold Mythic will be unlocked in 30 minutes
[08:30] Altoholic: Siege of Orgrimmar Mythic will be unlocked in 30 minutes
[08:30] Altoholic: The MOTHERLODE!! Mythic will be unlocked in 30 minutes
[08:30] Altoholic: Kings' Rest Mythic will be unlocked in 30 minutes
[08:30] Altoholic: Throne of Thunder 25 Player will be unlocked in 30 minutes
[08:30] Altoholic: Siege of Boralus Mythic will be unlocked in 30 minutes
[08:30] Altoholic: Atal'Dazar Mythic will be unlocked in 30 minutes

I don't mean to be rude, but it's obnoxious and I struggle to understand how you thought it was a good idea to include this and then not have a blatantly obvious setting to turn it off in the addon UI.

Whenever i go to the currency on teh summary tab i get this error. This has only started happening recently in the last few days as far as i can tell.

Altoholic stopped working for me on the evening of 4/6/2020. It will no longer show all the toons on a server. It only shows the current toon or the last toon that was on a particular server. Earlier in the day, everything worked fine. However, Blizz performed an update on the game the evening of April 6, 2020. After that, Altoholic went to "He double hockey sticks". Hopefully you can do something about this. Bye.
