About Altometer

General Information

Altometer is a tool to keep track of your alts. With the release of Rift 1.6, item information is now available. Along with character information, Altometer displays a list of all items possessed by all characters with information about who has it, how many, and where to find it.

Use /alt for detailed information on all the slash commands available. In particular, /alt hide and /alt show will hide and show the Altometer window, respectively.

What Altometer Cannot Do

At present, we cannot get information regarding mail or auctions, so items that are put into those systems will reflect as no longer being owned by any of your characters. This is a known limitation of the system, and that functionality will be added once those APIs are exposed. Also, we do not have currency information, so we cannot show character currencies.

Future Work

This is only a rough listing of items...a lot of features will be added soon:

  • Separating guild-owned items from personally-owned items
  • Displaying equipped items per character
  • Searching for particular items across all characters
  • Adding filters to restrict what items are shown
  • Cleaning up the display
  • Displaying item tooltips from within Altometer

Also, we will soon be added in achievement data for characters, once we have gotten the item inventory to a reasonable facsimile of perfection.

    An update sure would be nice

     

  • #24

    Real shame this addon no longer works. Would love to see it brought up to date with latest patches, could really use an Alt addon.

  • #23

    This great app has been broken since the release of 1.7.  Any hope of getting it fixed?  Loved it and hate it now it doesn't work.

  • #22

    Still trowing a ton of errors even after all of the patches given below.

     

    It appears there is an issue with the db.

    After some amout of data/usage the addon starts getting errors.

    Temp fix is easy: delete the saved db file and start over.

     

    I'm not using this any more until it gets fixed.

    This addon is super useful, but the db issue renders it marginal and annoying.

    I will keep checking back here for an update.

    Fingers crossed.

    I know Addon development isn't easy, but any chance of an update? At least in the comments. :)

     

    I love this mod and would love to see it grow.

  • #20

    Hello,

    When I move my char from one shard to another, the character doesn't follow in the altometer, so I have two, one on each shard.

    I can't delete the old one. How do I do to delete a char from its former place?

    Thank you in advance for your answer.

    Scorps.

    I love this add-on... or would if it would work.  I have three accounts with Rift and for some reason it will work on one of my accounts but not on the other two... of course the one with my mains on it... the one I need it on the most... It does NOT work on.  I get the first box with the list of characters and then the second box is empty.

    Nothing I do will stimulate the information to be accessed correctly for veiwing.

    Please help me... this would be the most awesome add-on of all if it worked properly.

    And the error codes and it wiping the entire chat log when you open the guild bank... that is very much a pain.

    Thanks in advance.

    Worked great for my 4 low level toons on one server, but when i switched to my main server, item previews didn't work anymore and i regularily got crashes in items.lua:104 (nil array value). I already had applied the http://pastebin.com/rmSVPQ82 patch.

    Then i dug into items.lua a bit, seems that value3.category can be nil for some items .. surrounding rows 104 through 106 with an if helped:

     

    if value3.category then
        itemsByCat[value3.category] = itemsByCat[value3.category] or {}
        itemsByCat[value3.category][value3.name] = itemsByCat[value3.category][value3.name] or {}
        table.insert(itemsByCat[value3.category][value3.name], newItem)
    end

    I would really love to use this addon, but I get one window with my characters listed.  The second window is empty or else has a generic list of categories on the left.  I have tried doing /alt save for each character to no avail.

    I really  need to use an addon like this (or like ArkInventory that WoW uses). 

    The core errors I'm getting are 119 and 734.  Saw it work 1 time on 1 toon, but never since.

    I also noticed that it seems to be working great on 2 of my characters, but 2 of my other characters can't seem to find any items at all.

  • #12

    Really enjoying the add-on.  Can't wait until you can store artifact history so I can determine whether to mail or sell.  I do wish there was a way to let it load with both those windows not opening each time.  Maybe there already is a way to do that, I just don't know how?

    At any rate, I'm getting another message whenever I open the guild bank.  It almost seems like it's a response message to either their API, or an intermediary API that someone else wrote that you are using, that says "Error: Incorrect Function Usage", then goes on to list 'Function Documentation' out.  It does not happen when I open my bank.

    It doesn't mean anything, and probably a side effect of not being able to use the function on items in a guild bank, and mostly just spam, but thought I'd pass it along if it's useful.

    Is there a way to subscribe to the comment thread on an add-on w/ curse?

  • #14

    I seem to have the same problem, it keeps spamming the next:

     

    Error: Incorrect function usage.

    Function documentation:

      Changes the displayed tooltip.

        Command.Tooltip(target) -- variant

    Parameters:

      target: The new tooltip. Currently accepts ability, item or itemtypeIDs. Pass nil to clear the tooltip.

      In Altometer / Altometer.Item.10:MouseInstack traceback:

      [C]: in function 'Tooltip'

      Altometer/items.lue:299: in function 'frameMousIn'

      Altometer/items.lua:271: in function <Altometer/items.lue:271>

     

    Hope you can fix it, cause I like the addon.

    You can keep the windows from showing on startup by using /alt hide. This version has a bug that closing the window with the close button does not persist the closed state. I'm currently working in a new version that is a dramatic shift from the current version, though, so it won't be an issue soon.

    The guild bank spam is related to a bug in my Addon; I'd need to see the stack trace that appears after the documentation dump to see what's going wrong.

    I don't know how to subscribe to an Addons comment feed; I get that automatically, but that's probably because it's my Addon =)

    Quote from Aieny »

    Ok, do this: go to the Altometer folder and open items.lua with Notepad. Then, replace everything in the file with the raw code from http://pastebin.com/rmSVPQ82. That should fix the issue. Finally, let me know what shows up as category "none" so I can see what's going on.

    That seemed to work, thank you. Smile

    Edit: Oh, and you asked about 'none'.  I have 'Tamed Bracken' in none.  It says my main has it.

    I'm now getting a similar error... It happened just before Trion upgraded their UI.  When i open the game, i get the alt window, but its now blank. typing any of the /alt commands i'm getting error 719. every time.

    i uninstalled (removing settings) the old release, and installed the newest release of this addon, and still get the same results.
