About Altoholic
Hi, my name is Thaoky, and I'm an Altoholic :)
Altoholic is an Ace 3 addon written for people who dedicate most of their time to leveling alts, and who want to have as much information as possible in one addon. The main feature of the addon is the search functionality which allows users to search their alts' bags or loot tables in an Auction-House-like frame (see screenshots). All this with multiple-realms/accounts support.
About the addon & the author
I've been playing WoW since the European release, and I used to rely on addons like character viewer to check my alts' inventory, but since it was more or less abandoned and not always stable for me, I decided to write an addon myself and to improve the search feature as much as I could. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do :)
The addon has been in development since December 2007 and was officially released in late March 2008. It's still not final, and although it has considerably evolved since the initial release, there are still a lot of things I haven't had time to implement yet.
Please note that this is my first addon, and that English is not my native language.
Features:
- Languages supported: enUS, frFR, deDE, esES, ruRU, zhCN & zhTW.
- Account-wide data summary:
- Characters' talents: Full talent trees & glyphs are supported for both specializations.
- Money, /played, rest xp for each character, subtotals by realm, and grandtotals for the account.
- Bag usage: see at a glance which characters should get bigger bags (bag size, free slots and types included)
- Characters' skills: skill summary on one screen, namely the 2 main professions + the 3 secondary skills as well as riding. I may add more if there's demand.
- Reputations: a list of all the reputations of the current realm's characters. You can see at a glance if all your alts are at least honored with Honor Hold if you want to get the new 2.4 blue PVP set. Suggestions on how to grind reputations will be available soon.
- View containers (bags, bank, keyring) of all alts, on all realms.
- Guild banks : You have 10 alts in 10 different guilds on the same server, all of them with access to a guild bank ? Not a problem, you can see them all here.
- E-mail: allows you to see which alts have mail without having to reconnect them. The addon will tell you when mail is about to expire on a character. Threshold configurable (up to 15 days). Multiple realm support as well. Mails sent to a known alt (one you've logged on at least once) will be visible in the addon without having to reconnect it.
- Equipment: See the equipment of the current realm's alts in one screen. Very useful when purchasing stuff for your alts at the AH. Multiple realms supported. Right-clicking any equipment piece will allow you to find an upgrade, this feature is similar to the official wow armory feature, and is quite performant, even though it doesn't match the accuracy of the official one.
- Search: the most important feature of the addon, it uses an AH-like frame to display search results. You can either search bags on the current realm, on all realms, or a loot table.
The loot table is a table based on AtlasLoot, but which contains only item id's, and therefore keeps memory usage minimal.
The Search menu allows you to find items based on their name (even partial), level, type or rarity, almost like at the AH. It is also possible to search known recipes.
- Quest Log: See the quest logs of all your alts, as well as an indication of which alts are on a specific quest. Clicking on a quest link in the chat log will tell you which alts are on that quest.
- Suggestions: Currently, only profession leveling suggestions are available when mousing over your current level in a specific profession. Suggestions are based on the leveling guides posted on the official US forums (credit goes to their respective authors). The addon also suggests you where to quest/grind xp depending on your character level.
Suggestions were also added for the most recent factions. More to come later.
- Auction house: You can see which auctions/bids you've placed with an alt without being logged in or being at the AH.
- Professions: You can browse all known recipes in a thotbot like frame (see screenshot).
- Mounts & Pets of all your alts.
- Achievements are tracked for all you alts (see screenshot).
- Guild Members: a list of your connected guildmates, along with their alts (if they're using Altoholic too), and their average item level. Clicking their AiL will also allow you to "remotely" inspect their equipment.
- Guild Skills: a list of altoholic users in your guild, along with their alts and direct profession links. All professions are available in one click.
- Guild Bank tabs: a list of altoholic users and the time at which they last visited the guild bank. If you haven't visited the guild bank for a few days, you can remotely update your local data without going to a capital city.

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 wowace community, you've been very helpful and this addon would not be there without the technical answers you gave me (especially Xinhuan, author of BankItems)
- Thanks to all the guys who are behind AtlasLoot, keeping the loot table up-to-date is a tremendous work, and the search functionality of Altoholic would not be what it is without your hard work.
- Thanks to Ayindi (wowace) & sLiz3r (curse) for the German translation.
- Thanks to NightOwl (wowace) for the zhTW translation.
- Thanks to Wang (wowace) for the zhCN translation.
- Thanks to Hellbot for the ruRU translation.

- Thanks to IrregularByte for the esES translation.
- Brykrys for the LinkWrangler support.
5.3.002 (29/05/2013)
- Fixed skill levels reported as 0.
Note: The problems does not fix itself with this new version. To fully fix it, you need to populate the database with new profession links.
To do this, log all your alts one by one, open their tradeskills, and ONLY THEN, open the skills pane in Altoholic to see that this character's
skill levels are ok. If not, it is merely a refresh issue.
As I said, the problem comes from the format of the profession links which has been changed by Blizzard, reload the whole thing, and you will be fine.
5.3.001 (28/05/2013)
- Fixed recipe colors at the Auction House (Thanks Elandril !).
- Fixed a lua error when DataStore_Agenda is disabled.
- Fixed profession cooldowns warnings, they are now hardcoded at 3 am (the game sometimes still returns midnight).
- Added a total AiL per realm in the account summary.

I have used Altoholic for some time for my 10 alts, but the only thing that really bugs me is the Reputations are not up to date.
When are you going to add Reputations for Dominance Offensive, Sunreavers Onslaught and Shado Pan Assault to name but a few?
Do you think it would be possible to add a display which crop was planted by which alt at Sunsong Ranch?
Would be very usefull to know who has which crop growing and if I missed planting any on an alt.
Thx!

... link it in with the dailies...? Sounds useful. :)
hello gr8 addon indeed, only wrong time announce of CD resets as someone stated before.
I have one question regarding function which showing in tooltip if I already have this item even its not exact the same (of tiger, of spirit etc) and I want to ask you if there any way how can see in tooltip which items of the "set" I already collected.For example I have: Willow Robe of the Whale, Willow Belt of the Tiger, Willow Gloves of the Eagle and when I pointed on any Willow piece, it shows me that I have three Willow's items. Would be great for all transmog hunters I think :)

This addon is still telling me when things reset at the wrong time. It makes me sad.
hi, im an avid alt player, i have one of every class near lvl cap and have been looking for an addon to keep track of a lot of things and was so happy to find this. One thing i was looking to track on alts that i didnt read on this is a queue debuff tracker. i know its not something thats prolly commonly needed, but i play on illidan which is a very high pop server and healer queues sell like crack. i was really hoping to find an addon that could keep track of that. if you know of anything please let me know XD
On join specific battleground:

Altoholic is no longer correctly reporting the amount of an item (glyphs) I have listed in the auction house. The bag count is correct, but for many of the items it lists up to twice the amount I have in the AH, when I have none, 1, or 2 listed.
I'm running V5.2.001 and I only noticed this a few days ago.
I get the following error on opening the altoholic window:

I love the idea of this addon, good job so far! I just have one question about multiple account holders. I did see you mention that this addon is for multiple realms/accounts. I myself have two accounts, but I cannot see my second account's characters when I am on my first account. How do I fix that?
Thanks!
Unless this has changed, the only way to do it is to log on both accounts at the same time and share details. This is a pain because the data goes out of date very quickly if you are playing both accounts alot.
What would be nice is if the addon could hold the account names of all a user's accounts and reading the data info for both of them when you log in (or at least ask if you want it to read all your accounts).
