SimpleAltTracker v2.1.0
What's new
v2.1.0
New Features
- Skins: Choose the look of the whole window in Settings > Appearance (applies after a UI reload).
- Modern: The flat red-and-black look - still the default.
- Forever: Classic bronze and gold with a dialog border and header plate.
- Ivy: Stone pillars wound with ivy frame the window.
- Legion: Obsidian spires with glowing fel cracks, iron bands and horned corners.
- Your own colors: Pick the accent, text and heading colors yourself. Changes show immediately; Reset Colors returns to the skin's defaults and a Reload UI button applies everything everywhere.
- Icon section tabs: Characters, Gold, Professions and the other top-level sections are now icon tabs hanging off the window edge like the stock character frame. Tab Position lets you put them on the left, right, top or bottom.
- BiS sets: Up to 6 Best-in-Slot sets per character, one of them active. Switch between sets, rename them (Rename button or right-click) and mark one with Set Active. Your existing BiS list becomes Set 1 automatically.
- BiS drop alerts: Get a chat line, an on-screen banner and a sound when an item from an active BiS set - yours or an alt's - shows up in the loot window, a loot roll, a group member's loot, boss loot or a quest reward.
- Compares upgrade tracks (Veteran < Champion < Hero < Myth): no alert if you already own an equal or better track, and the alert tells you which track you currently have when the drop is an upgrade.
- Two settings, both on by default: BiS Drop Alerts and BiS Alert Sound. Preview with
/at bistest. - Backup picks for trinkets and weapons: Each set can hold a second choice for Trinket 1/2, Main Hand and Off Hand. A backup only alerts while the main pick for that slot is not owned yet.
- All-items browser for BiS: Click a slot and a side panel opens next to the paper doll - no more switching to a separate picker page. Search by name, item ID or a pasted / shift-clicked item link, filter by type and by Current / All expansions; the armor type is preset from the character's class. Covers crafted, PvP and world-drop gear as well as dungeon and raid loot.
- Two-handers handled: Picking a two-handed main hand disables and clears the off hand (Fury warriors excepted), for main and backup picks separately.
- Character stats: Gear and BiS now have a stats panel - primary stat, stamina, health, armor, crit, haste, mastery, versatility with ratings, tertiary and defensive stats. For the logged-in character a corner arrow flips between the 3D model and the stats; other characters show their saved stats.
- Last known location: The addon remembers where each character logged out - zone, subzone, coordinates, resting state and hearth location - and shows it in the Overview and the character tooltip.
- Quests tab rebuilt: Last Seen banner, objectives shown inline with numeric progress and progress bars, completion percentage, quest tags, failed state, difficulty-colored levels, the current zone listed first and recent turn-ins.
- Professions tab rebuilt: One two-pane screen - profession cards on the left, recipes on the right grouped by expansion and category (older expansions collapsed). Search by recipe or material name, filter by Known / Skill-ups / Can craft now / Not learned, and click a recipe to see its materials counted across all characters' bags, banks and the warbound bank. Concentration, recraft info and shift-click auction house search are kept.
- Quick-access buttons redesigned (mount and hearthstone):
- Modern badge style with clean glyph icons, a skin-tinted outline, hover glow and animated fly-out menus. Shapes stay Circle or Square.
- Work in combat: the mount menu no longer refuses in combat, and the hearthstone menu can now be opened and used in combat.
- Hearthstone cooldown on the button: a cooldown sweep and timer on the main button when no hearthstone is ready, plus a charge count for hearthstones with more than one charge. The small floating timer badges are gone.
- Lock Button Positions setting to stop the buttons from being dragged by accident.
Improvements
- Settings page tidied up: Everything sits in one centered column, related buttons are placed side by side instead of stacked, and explanatory text is centered.
- No needless scroll bars: Scroll bars only appear when the content does not fit.
- Minimap button now sits on the edge of the minimap at any minimap size.
Bug Fixes
- Phantom "-Name" characters: Very early in a session the realm name could be empty, creating a duplicate character without a realm. This no longer happens, and existing duplicates are merged into the real character.
- About tab: Three labels that were missing their text are fixed.
- Event registration and item gem/stat lookups are now safe against API differences between game versions.
Data Compatibility
- Fully backward-compatible with existing saved data. The old single BiS list is migrated into Set 1 the first time it is opened; stats and location are collected the next time each character logs in.
