About Am I locked out?

Ailo - Tooltip #2

Little addon which saves me quite some time with all my twinks.

What it does

Rembers which of your chars are saved to which instance. Naxx/Ulduar/OS/TEoE/VoA/OL/ToC, 10/25, nhc/hc and 5man heroics. (Option to show 5mans in the tooltip is OFF by default) Updates on login and every time you get the 'You are now saved to this instance'-message So you don't have to log onto your chars to see if you can join that raid with one of your alts

Currently only a LDB icon:

Right click: Brings up the configuration (change tooltip colors, profiles)
Left click: Trigger a manual parse of saved raidinstances for the current player
Hovering: Shows a tooltip of all instances. Green = free, Red = locked out (default colors, you can change them)

Config options:

Standard Ace3 profile things
Change colors of the tooltip
Change abbreviations used for instancenames (Ailo tries to get a 'first char of every word'-type, but that is kinda hard if you have a locale which relies heavy on utf-8 chars)

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

As I said in the comment earlier:
1.0.14 should now update the database correctly when:
1) The client recieves the event that raidID's got updated (Ailo requests a RaidInfo update when it gets loaded)
2) When you get saved to a raidID

Also it can now color the names in the tooltip by class color, I can add !CLASS_COLORS support if people want

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Starfox said

When I switched to AceEvent I forgot to also register for the event which updates raidID's.
You can always left-click the icon to trigger a manual update, I'll just add an option to color the names in the tooltip by classcolor and then tag a new version.

The last du Versions failed to produce a tooltip in Bazooka, which I use as LDB addon.

Should be fixed in 1.0.11
I added a version number to the database so I can force the addon to reset the database if I make any further structural changes which break old versions, sorry for the inconvenience

Confirmed.
You need exit the game, delete Ailo.lua
from the \Account\<accountname>\SavedVariables\
folder and restart.

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Dridzt said

Since I doubt the author didn't even logon before pushing an update,
I have to guess a purge of the previous saved variables is needed.

The offending line tries to compare a number with "hc" or "nhc" (a string).
It will not work with any output method (LDB or minimap)

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Starfox said

Now it only uses the retunvalues of GetSavedInstanceInfo to place things in the database, you can now easily change the 'hc'/'nhc' in the tooltip through config.

Starfox said

I hope it works now, it was just an error on my side, the library I copied had the .lua file in another subfolder than the version I included through .pkgmeta, sorry :(

This is a unique approach to presentation and the mod
definitely has a place in people's addons folder.

You can safely ignore the arseholes linking other addons in your comments.
(That's what the rest of us do anyway)

Thanks for sharing.

I have tried many releases now, but I am unable to get this addon running, I have also tried to install Ace2 and/or Ace3 libraries, but so far, no success...

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Dridzt said

There is currently a bug with loading of the minimap icon library.
(I've posted a ticket about it and will hopefully be fixed in next push).
It will affect people running it that don't have an LDB compatible display
and rely on the minimap icon to show them the tooltip instead of some panel.

If you're comfortable with small edits:
1. Open the Ailo.toc file
2. Find the line that reads
Libs\LibDBIcon-1.0\LibDBIcon-1.0.lua
3. Make it like this
Libs\LibDBIcon-1.0\LibDBIcon-1.0\LibDBIcon-1.0.lua
4. Save the file and restart the game (reloading in place won't work).

Should also be noted that Ailo only works for maxlevel characters (80).

Sweet, that worked great!
I think the addon was awsome, to bad about the bug, but I think that will be fixed very soon.
One question thou, do I still need Ace libraries installed, or can I get rid of them?

If you got them specifically to try and fix this error,
you can get rid of them yes.

Don't want to throw water on what you have done, the more addon writers the better :).
But there is addon already called Savedinstances which is quite complete with all raids, types, heroics across all alts, also nice tooltip on each save with details, id, time left etc.

deDE I can do myself, but not things like frFR, esES, ruRU, so if someone using it in that language feel free to add the strings (only 11 at the moment and I don't think it will get much more than that)

I really like the UI for this. It's concise and looks cool. The current version 1.0.1 is bugged and probably won't run for users without a non-embedded AceAddon-3.0 (although you can always try), but I reported it and hopefully the next version works for everybody.
