Altometer
Version: 0.3.1 alpha 2
by: Aieny [More]
General Information
This is an ALPHA release of the next version of Altometer. The item window is incomplete, but it currently breaks down items by category.

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.

Known Issues
  • Long lists of characters display outside the bounds of the window
  • Clicking the bag icon causes a significant pause when there are a lot of items to show

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.
0.3.1 alpha 2
  • Item listing now breaks down items by category
  • Removed spam from item update events

0.3.0.1 - Bug Fix
  • Fixed a bug that was preventing items from being displayed
  • Fixed a bug in an event handler on startup

0.3.0
  • Added item information
  • Added icons for character data and item information

0.0.3
  • Changed appearance of window
  • Shortened the name as it appears in the list
  • Grouped names by shard, with appropriate title
  • Detailed information appears as a tooltip on mouseover

0.0.2 pre-alpha
  • Removed much of the spam from the chatlog
  • Now listing characters across shards
  • Character shard is shown after calling in list
  • Altometer now remembers if you had the window shown or hidden
  • A reminder of how to show the window appears in the chatlog if the window is defaulted to hidden
  • Removed the dependency on LibUnitChange

Hello, like the idea so far, would be awesome if this could someday allow you to view your alt's bank slots and inventory without having to log into them (based on last view).

Keep up the good work

That's pretty much the general idea =) As the API gets developed, I'll be adding features to this. For the moment, all I can do is collect character information across shards.

This is a great addon, but ever since 1.6, it doesn't really function at all for me, and it will constantly pop up the config ui for it, every time I change to a new zone, or anything that auto refreshes my UI...

I'm not sure what you mean by the config UI, there is only one screen that initially shows your characters, then clicking the bag icon on the left shows your items.

That's the one I'm talking about, it doesn't work. When I click on anything, nothing happens.

Are you seeing the mouseover tooltips when you position your mouse over the Character icon and the Bag icon? Also, do you see tooltips when you mouseover your characters? Did you freshly install the Addon, or was this an upgrade? And if you upgraded, did you delete all the old files before unzipping the file? If you upgraded, try going into your Interface folder, under Saved, then your account name (email), and delete Altometer.lua while outside the game (character select screen is fine) and see if that fixes it (that will delete all your saved data, so you'll need to relog all your characters to restore the data).

Edit: The only clickables right now are the icons on the left. As I get more work done on the interface, more things will click and be active. So, as long as you can click the bag icon on the left and see your items, that's all you can do right now.

Hi there,
Was looking forward to added functionality of alt's inventory. Installed 1.6.
The char list works fine.
However, when clicking the bag icon, I get the following error:

[Alt]--------
[Alt]Error: Altometer/items.lua:100: table index is nil
[Alt] In Altometer / Altometer.BagIcon:LeftClick
[Alt]stack traceback:
[Alt] Altometer/items.lua:100: in function 'ItemList'
[Alt] Altometer/core.lua:495: in function 'fUpdateItemList'
[Alt] Altometer/core.lua:514: in function <Altometer/core.lua:510>

If it works, this is one of the most useful addons I can think of.
Hope this info is of some help to you.
Thx for the effort you put in.

Awesome, that's exactly what I need to see to nail down the problem. Lemme check and see how to fix that.

I'm assuming that reloading the UI isn't helping, so I need to see if you can send me more information. I'd like to see your saved variables file for Altometer...you can find them under Rift/Interface/Saved/<account name>/Altometer.lua. If you could email them to me: my user name at my website address, I would appreciate it.....it'd help me figure out why it says one of the items doesn't have a name

Thank u for looking into this.
Reloading UI did indeed not help. Quitting and restarting the game didnt help.
I ve sent the .lua via your email address at your website.

Success!

I never got an error, and it doesn't function the way it's suppose to. Clicking the bag icon does nothing, it's as if I'm trying to interact with a screenshot, like it's active, but it's not. Make sense now?

Also, it was a fresh install, I never had it installed prior to that.

Stay tuned, I am currently reworking the item interface to make it faster and easier to use. I hope to have it up by Thanksgiving, but it may not be up until this weekend.

I recently updated Altometer after seeing the awesome new features you added. But when I log into each toon all I get is an empty Altometer window. No buttons or details at all. I tried deleting the whole Altometer directory and re-extracting it in case old data was causing an issue. Same problem.

If I run the /alt command it lists all the options. But if I try to run it using any of those options I get LUA errors/

I'm not sure if that helps, or only adds to the issue, but this is the addon I am most waiting for. Good luck!

Well, after clearing out ALL of the Saved Variables directories (there is one for each account and each character) it seems to be working now. Liking it so far.

Is there a way to turn off the "Updating" entries that spam the Chat log when new items are added to the inventory?

Keep up the great work!

Sorry about that, I did warn it was it was an alpha version =) Lemme post a minor fix in a second, shall I?
