Hello I want to make this addon work again. Does nothing when I use the /alts command. I don't really like savedinstances or alt tracker. What do I need to do to make Alt Manager work properly in 9.2 ? Please tell me what lua line I have to modify ty
In reply to Sidor11888:
The addon is broken and abandoned since a long time ago. There was a new project which I made open-source, but cuz of some self-righteous thugs it got removed. Clearly it's against the law to make things right. Clowns.
The original author listed the addon as "All Rights Reserved" so it indeed is against the law to just take the addon, make some modifications and make it open source, no matter how much you think you "make things right".

The fix itself is published here: https://github.com/hurtonypeter/altmanager2
But you won't get autoupdates from addon autoupdater apps if you download it from here.
I cannot get this addon to work anymore. If I type /alts my game doesnt even allow it to go thru my chat box. It stops me from hitting enter and executing even just to get to the /help thing
The addon seems to "forget" about keys you've done on certain chars until you log on them after you've completed a key. :/
I released a non-infringing replacement for this addon back in September: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/alt-tracker

Why isn't it opensourced on github? Plz don't invest in anything that is not opensource at 2021. It also has the same codebase like this (just changed some method naming and little refactoring), it's clearly a fork.
In reply to hupett:
You clearly need to look deeper, what I've written is far different than "a little method naming and refactoring" - the only shared code at all is the code this author lifted for the weekly reset calculation from another addon. You also need to look at the software license of this addon (All Rights Reserved, which expressly prohibits everything you've done). You didn't fork their work, you copied it (code theft) down to and including stealing their screenshot.
Why is mine not opensourced on GitHub? Because it's WTFPL'd right here, and anyone can just open the .lua and have at it.
In reply to AbsoluteShullbit:
I won't argue regarding legal things, I can clearly see the similarities between the two code bases. Doesn't matter how far it went with time. The only difference is that I left the original authors acknlowledgement in the code and clearly stated that's it's a "fork" (quotation mark cuz there was no code repository to fork...). This was necessary because of the same reason why I said that you should opensource it. They didn't leave a git repo here or any information how to contribute to the project, that's why it's dead now and that's why we need to post small fixes to chat when the client introduces breaking changes...
If you do the same, yours will be dead as well, when you stop playing. People need to understand how OSS works.
In reply to hupett:
What you've done isn't open source software. The author of this addon released their work under a license which expressly prohibits what you've done. You cannot "open source" or "fork" their code base. They have reserved all rights to their work. You literally can't do anything with it.
I was going to state that the only code you can re-use is the code that was lifted from SavedInstances (which I, admittedly re-used myself) but I just went to verify the license of that addon and I see that it is also ARR licensed which means neither of us can use it, which means I'm going to immediately stop work on a new UI and go reimplement weekly reset tracking my own way - because I don't want to infringe on the rights of either author.
I released my code under a license that literally says anyone can take it and do whatever T F they want with it and I don't care. It doesn't get more open than that. I don't think you understand OSS. You can't just take someone else's copyrighted work that they retain the rights to and publish it as your own.
I'm done debating this with you though, you go your way and I'll go mine. At the end of the day, if you don't understand licensing someone will teach you about it in time.
In reply to AbsoluteShullbit:
You are mistaken here Sir. Both with the things I'm trying to say and with the licencing. I said that we've done 99.9% the same, but you didn't explicitly stated that this wasn't only your work, I did.
"They have reserved all rights to their work. You literally can't do anything with it."
Yes, this one is 100% true and this is what I'm trying to say. If we are very strict, "All rights reserved" includes the whole idea, not just the codebase but the ui and how the addons works - which again, it's clearly the same, you yourself said that yours is a replacement.
About the OSS things: again, I didn't say I opensourced THIS project, I said that if it was opensourced, we wouldn't be here right now. It doesn't matter that you made your version with WTFPL, ppl still can't pick up the work. Without you, somebody again need to pick up the code and put it somewhere, create a new curseforge project, etc. The "dev env" makes the thing OSS, not the licence (that's just like 5% of the whole thing) of the code.
Also please mind your manner and don't "someone will teach you" other people. I just wanted to help people with this so alt-lover folks don't have to hack the code on their hard drive for making the addon work. You came here to teach everybody that this is illegal, while you are doing the exact same (and IMHO even worse with leaving the original authors name out). If the community doesn't want it or mods disapprove (they already approved btw), I will just delete the thing without shedding a tear :) I can fix the addon for myself anytime :)
rip??? not loading at all for me since 9.1.5 :(
In reply to G1ak1:
You can hotfix it if you go to the addon's lua file (AltManager.lua) and in the line 687-688 you change
In reply to hupett:
perfect. thank u bro.
maybe you should take over and fix it for the future since i dont see the author returning :)
In reply to hupett:
You can remove the conduit data from the add-on window by (the line number might be 1-2 off since I made some edits):
- adding --[[ before conduit_charges = { on line 1081
- adding ]] after }, on line 1085
In reply to Shredxt:
Sure thing, but I just wanted to post the easiest (least LOC change) possible fix for the folks whos not familiar with programming. After that I also started to rebrand the thing with some decent fixes and maybe future features (if community is interested), this could be a real OSS, I would be happy to merge pr-s: https://github.com/hurtonypeter/altmanager2 :) It doesn't work yet (has some db issues) but I didn't had time to debug it yet, prob I forgot to change something during the "rebranding", the code is a bit messy...
The publishing of the addon is also in progress, it's currently under review by the curseforge mods.
In reply to hupett:
Alright, now I published a working version, I also did a big cleanup, removed not just the conduit thingies but half the codebase (left from old expacs). The addon is published here, but it's not visible until moderators approve it.

Everyone, check out https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/saved_instances
It covers a lot of what this addon does as an alternative while we wait for the author to update it.
In reply to nl_Quiks:
The addon you linked is probably going to be the best solution for awhile given how long it has been since an update
