Overachiever

Version: 1.0.9

by: Tuhljin [More]

Tools and tweaks to make the lives of players seeking achievements a little bit easier.

Overachiever is highly configurable and has many features, many (but not all) of which are listed below. Most features can be disabled and/or tweaked.

Options can be found using the /oa command or at Interface Options -> AddOns tab -> Overachiever.

A Few Highlights

New tabs added to the GUI:
- Search: Search for achievements by name, description, reward, and more. (Quickly search by name using slash commands like "/ach food".)
- Suggestions: Get suggested achievements based on your current location, active holiday events, etc.
- Watch: Create custom watch lists of achievements.
- Related: See how achievements relate to each other.
Tooltip and audio reminders for objectives you find in the world (and in your bags).
Automatically track exploration achievements as you travel.
Automatically track timed achievements when the timer starts.

Achievement Tooltip Enhancements

Add information from progress bars and normally-hidden progress information. (For example, "Progress: 5/10" or "Assault 2 bases (0/2).")
Compare progress using chat links: Display your progress below that of the player who linked the achievement.
Optionally add the achievement's ID to its tooltip. (Convenient for addon authors.)
Ctrl+click on an achievement link to open the GUI to that achievement. Ctrl+click again to track it.

GUI Enhancements

Draggable Frames: The achievement frame is draggable.
New tabs added to the default achievement frame, as highlighted above.
Cooking Trade Skill UI:
- Display icons next to recipes you need to cook for "The Northrend Gourmet", "The Legion Menu", and similar achievements. Ctrl+click on one of these recipes to open the UI to the achievement that requires it.
- Works with the default UI, Advanced Trade Skill Window, Skillet, and lilsparky's branch of Skillet. (Users of lilsparky's branch must Alt+click instead of Ctrl+click to open to the achievement.)
Display a tooltip when the cursor is over certain achievements in the GUI:
- ''Part of a series'': Give the names of other achievements in the series and its relation to them.
- ''Required by'': Give the names of any meta-achievements that list this achievement as a criteria.
Meta-criteria (achievements displayed as the criteria for obtaining a larger achievement) in the GUI use a detailed achievement tooltip instead of simply giving the date the criteria was completed (or nothing if it isn't complete).

Tooltip and Audio Reminders

Add information to units', items', and/or world objects' tooltips to help you complete...
- "To All The Squirrels I've Loved Before", "To All The Squirrels Who Shared My Life": Do I need to /love this critter?
- "Pest Control": Have I exterminated this critter?
- "Well Read", "Higher Learning": Have I read this book?
- "The Scavenger," "Outland Angler," "Northrend Angler": Have I fished this type of node?
- "It's Happy Hour Somewhere", "Tastes Like Chicken": Have I consumed this food or drink?
- "Northern Exposure", "Medium Rare", and many others: Do I need to kill this creature? (Includes many dungeon and raid-based achievements.)
Holiday Achievements:
- "Let It Snow": Do I need to use a Handful of Snowflakes on this player?
- "Fistful of Love": Do I need to use a Handful of Rose Petals on this player?
- "Shake Your Bunny-Maker": Do I need to use Spring Flowers on this player?
Sound Reminder: Choose a sound to play when one of the above tooltip reminders shows up if you need to do something.

Key Bindings

You can associate key bindings with each of the new tabs added to the Achievement frame using the standard key binding interface. The new bindings are located under the heading "Overachiever."

Localization

Localized to one degree or another for English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, simplified Chinese, and traditional Chinese. Translations generously provided by your fellow overachievers.

Disabling Modules

Some of Overachiever's features are implemented using modules, namely Overachiever_Tabs and Overachiever_Trade. Modules have their own folders that should be placed inside the Interface\AddOns folder alongside Overachiever. They can be enabled or disabled as you would a separate addon. Additionally, the individual tabs of the Tabs module (Search, Suggestions, Watch, Related) can be disabled by deleting or renaming the corresponding .lua files (Search.lua, Suggestions.lua, etc.).

v1.0.7

-- Added a few more Blizzard sounds.

v1.0.6
- Updated TOC for WoW patch 8.2.
- Suggestions Tab: New suggestions added for the zones Mechagon Island and Nazjatar, the dungeon Operation: Mechagon, and the raid The Eternal Palace.
- "Shake Your Bunny-Maker": Updated tooltip check to match its new requirements.

- Suggestions Tab:
-- Added suggestions for the Battle for Stromgarde warfront.
-- Added suggestions for the dungeons Freehold, Shrine of the Storm, Waycrest Manor, Siege of Boralus, Atal'Dazar, The MOTHERLODE!!, The Underrot, Temple of Sethraliss, and Kings' Rest.
-- Added more suggestions for Tol Dagor (dungeon).
- Battle for Azeroth's "Adventurer of..." achievements: Added "need to kill" reminders for the criteria that needed manual entry of mob IDs.
- "To All the Squirrels..." achievements: Fix reminder tooltip not showing for certain critters that aren't / are no longer technically classed as critters (such as the sheep in Elwynn Forest).
- Attempt to make the draggable achievement frame feature more compatible with other addons.
- Recent Reminders feature:
-- If a recently spotted objective is complete, then its tooltip text is now colored green and will have a checkmark next to it.
-- "Azeroth at War..." achievements: Missions can now be flagged as recently spotted objectives.
-- Fixed an issue where reminders triggered by a timer resulted in a tooltip indicating recently spotted objectives but with none listed.

v1.0.4
- "Azeroth at War: The Barrens", "Azeroth at War: After Lordaeron", "Azeroth at War: Kalimdor on Fire" (new): Added an option to display a reminder tooltip in the mission UI for completing missions.
- "Three Sheets to the Wind" (new): Added an option to display a reminder tooltip for acquiring drinks.
- Suggestions Tab:
-- Added suggestions for Tol Dagor (dungeon) and the War Campaign Ships (Banshee's Wail and Wind's Redemption).
-- Removed suggestions that are now Feats of Strength.
- Fixed an issue where tooltips indicating whether an item needs to be consumed would appear even when the related option's checkbox was unchecked.
- Fixed reminder tooltip not showing for some mobs required for Legion's "Adventurer of..." achievements.
- Cache module: Fixed an issue that prevented the use of stored data from the opposing faction if a character of that faction hadn't been logged into since the release of a new WoW build or Overachiever version. (Data for the other faction should generally be considered reliable enough to use even if it will be rebuilt when you next log into a character of that faction.)

v1.0.3
- Trade module: "The Kul Tiran Menu" or "The Zandalari Menu" is now considered when determining if you need to cook a recipe.
- Fixed an issue where some of the opposing faction's achievements were sometimes automatically tracked in battlegrounds.
- Cache module:
-- This module now improves the accuracy of cross-faction data. For instance, the meta-achievement "Master of Warsong Gulch" requires a different version of "Quick Cap" for each faction. Without the cache module, only the "Quick Cap" for your own faction indicates that it is required by another achievement. With Overachiever_Cache enabled, both versions now indicate this.
-- For a complete cache, you will need to have logged into both an Alliance and a Horde character. (Most of the time, this is a non-issue. Most cached data is not faction specific. Even faction-specific achievements usually provide the same data to both factions.)
-- The tooltip indicating an achievement is required for a meta-achievement can now display an Alliance or Horde icon to show when the cache indicates the requirement is exclusive to one faction.
-- Fixed an issue where populating the cache while logged into a character of one faction prevented data from the other faction from being added.

v1.0.2
- Correct an issue that prevents the cache module from being loaded.

v1.0.1
- A new module has been added, Overachiever_Cache. When enabled (which it is by default), it should reduce load times once its cache is populated. The cache is rebuilt whenever Overachiever runs after a new build of WoW was released. (If the option "Startup: Throttle achievement lookup" is enabled, then this may improve performance instead of load time.)
- Trade module: Fix achievement information not showing in Cooking window.
- Suggestions Tab:
-- Added numerous suggestions for Battle for Azeroth zones.
-- Add more suggestions to the Draenor garrison.
-- Suggest "Choppin' Even More Logs" to Horde characters in their garrison instead of "Choppin' Some Logs" since the wrong faction's version was showing if the series progressed. (WoW API gives Alliance version as part of the series regardless of your faction.)
-- Suggest "Chromie Homie" at Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight (instead of only when actually inside The Deaths of Chromie scenario).
- Added achievements for Battle for Azeroth zones to exploration auto-tracking.

v1.0.0
- Updated for Battle for Azeroth beta and pre-patch, WoW patch 8.0.x. Updated TOC and made many required changes.
- This release is backward compatible with Legion. (This may not be the case for future releases.)
- Reworked the achievement search system. Searches should generally take less time and they now allow other activity to continue during a search.
- Search Tab:
-- "Personal" type split into "Personal" and "Other." The latter are achievements that do not have a category which belongs in the base UI. (Since all of them are unlisted achievements, selecting the "Other" type causes the search to include unlisted achievements even when the box to do so is unchecked.)
-- Added an option to direct searches started by slash commands (like "/ach") to the Search tab.
- When not directed to the Search tab, slash commands that searched for achievements will now also search through unlisted achievements. Excludes the "silent" slash commands such as "/achs". (When directed to the tab, whether they include unlisted achievements is determined by the relevant checkbox found there.)
- Minimap tooltips are now properly supported by the tooltip reminders feature. Up/down arrows (indicating a node's relative vertical position) do not prevent the reminder from showing and multiple nodes showing in the tooltip at once are now handled.
- Suggestions Tab: Added suggestions for Seething Shore.
- Tabs module: Added text overlay to indicate when the achievement completion filter (earned or incomplete) has caused an achievement to be omitted from the Suggestions or Related tabs.
- Improved ability to toggle tracking an achievement by ctrl+clicking on its link. Overachiever will now attempt to toggle tracking when the selected achievement is part of a series to which the linked achievement belongs (rather than requiring the linked achievement itself to be selected).
- Option "Startup: Throttle achievement lookup" is now disabled by default and it is automatically disabled for users upgrading from a pre-1.0 version of Overachiever.

Hello.

I've tried to translate in french,
but there's something that didn't work. (partially in fact)

The auto tracking of the zone that we curently explore.

Perhaps it's my "translation" that is wrong.

That's work fdor most of the zone,
but for the ones with "Le", "Les" ( "the" in english),
the tracker disappear.
It's not related to the zone that are composed with more than one word. (like thousand miles, in french Milles pointes, work perfectly for example)

the translation :

Code:

if (GetLocale() == "frFR") then
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_CAT_EXPLORATION = "Exploration"
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_EXPLOREZONE = "%s"

		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_PROGRESS = "Progression"
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_YOURPROGRESS = "Votre progression"

		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_ACH_LOVECRITTERS = "A tous les écureuils que j'ai aimés, avant"
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_CRITTER = "Bestiole"
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_ACH_LOVECRITTERS_INCOMPLETE = "A besoin d' /amour"
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_ACH_LOVECRITTERS_COMPLETE = "A déjà eu de l' /amour"

		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_MSG_INVALIDID = "Entrée invalide: Aucun haut fait ne correspond à cette ID."
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_MSG_NAMENOTFOUND = 'Aucun haut fait contenant le nom "|cffffffff%s|r" a été trouvé.'
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_MSG_OPENINGTO = "Ouverture de: "
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_MSG_ONEFOUND = "1 autre haut fait trouvé: "
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_MSG_NUMFOUNDLIST = "%s autres haut faits trouvés:"

		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_OPT_LABEL_TOOLTIPS = "Infobulle et liens des haut faits"
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_OPT_SHOWPROGRESS = "Ajouter les infos provenant des barres de progression"
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_OPT_SHOWPROGRESS_TIP = 'Afficher votre progression quand le haut fait a un critère relatif à la quantité, comme "Obtenir 10 montures."'
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_OPT_SHOWPROGRESS_OTHER = "Quand on regarde les liens donnés par les autres"
OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_OPT_SHOWPROGRESS_OTHER_TIP = "Ajoute votre progression, même quand le haut fait affiché provient d'un autre joueur."
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_OPT_SHOWID = "Montrer les IDs des haut faits"
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_OPT_LABEL_TRACKING = "Pistage des haut faits"
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_OPT_TRACKERGREENCHECK = "Afficher une marque à côté de l'icône de haut fait accompli"
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_OPT_TRACKERGREENCHECK_TIP = "Place une marque verte à côté de l'icône dans le suivi quand le haut fait est accompli."
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_OPT_AUTOTRACKEXPLORE = "Suivi auto du haut fait exploration quand vous voyagez"
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_OPT_AUTOTRACKEXPLORE_TIP = "Quand vous entrez dans une zone, suivre automatiquement le haut fait exploration associé. Ne change pas si vous suivez autre chose qu'un haut fait d'exploration."
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_OPT_AUTOTRACKEXPLORE_COMPLETED = "Inclure les haut faits accomplis"
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_OPT_CRITTERTIPS = "Ajouter le statut /amour des bestioles dans l'infobulle"
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_OPT_CRITTERTIPS_TIP = "Si ce haut fait est incomplet, ajouter une ligne à l'infobulle de la bestiole pour vous indiquer que ce type de bestiole a toujours besoin d' /amour."
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_OPT_LABEL_DRAG = "Fenêtre déplaçable"
		OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_OPT_DRAG_ACHFRAME = "Fenêtre principale de l'IU Haut faits"
end

As you can see,
there's no word before the "%s",
but, this is the only way that seems to do a part of his job.

I'v tried to hook the good word in many place of the archievement frame (and tooltip),
but no way.
Perhaps I'm searching in the wrong place. (say me where to catch this word)

Voilà.

All the other function seems to work. (the critters tooltip, the checkmark, the progression tips...)

NOTE: I've not change the special caracters and there's no issues.
This is a recent change in wow ?

EDIT:
Oh !
Can you had the support of addons that change the tooltip. (like cowtip, startip, link wrangler, tec...) ?

Jerricka An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 30 File comments: 178 Uploads: 0	Great mod, just have one small suggestion..how about adding a feature to let you see if your alts need an achievement the current character you're on has? Also, how do you lock the achievement frame? It doesn't currently remember its position.. Last question: Can this mod include completed achievements when looking at another person's completed ones? The option "Including completed achievements" doesn't do this. Example: Enhanced Achievements mod. Last edited by Jerricka : 10-25-08 at 04:34 PM.

Tuhljin A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 106 File comments: 233 Uploads: 10	Svensn: Okay, I'll include the fix in the next version. Friko: Just so we're on the same page, here are some basics (which you might already know). For a localization to work, OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_CAT_EXPLORATION has to be set to the exact name of the "Exploration" category of achievements - this is the category which contains sub-categories for exploring Kalimdor, Eastern Kingdoms, Outland, and Northrend. Auto-tracking of exploration works by searching all achievements in those sub-categories for one containing the name of the zone in the format given by OVERACHIEVER_STRINGS_EXPLOREZONE, which is "Explore %s" in English because the exploration achievements are all named "Explore <Zone Name>." We allow a partial match because at least one zone (Tanaris) needs it (because the achievement is called "Explore Tanaris Desert"). What format do the French exploration achievements use? Could you perhaps PM me with some screenshots of the achievement UI opened up to them?

10-26-08, 12:41 AM
Tuhljin A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 106 File comments: 233 Uploads: 10	Jerricka: Saving the achievement frame's position will be made an option very soon. A feature to remember achievements earned on your alts is a good suggestion - I'll add it to the list of things to consider. Lastly, while I'd love to add something that lets you quickly compare your achievement status to others' when they send you chat links, I don't want to step on another author's toes when the end result would essentially be the same thing. For now, go ahead and use Enhanced Achievements for that feature. Overachiever should be fully compatible with it. If it becomes incompatible for some reason or if that doesn't work the way you or I had in mind (maybe the text is placed in an order that seems illogical or something), perhaps this will be added to a future version. Maybe I'll get in touch with Syzgyn to see what he thinks. Or am I misunderstanding your suggestion? Last edited by Tuhljin : 10-26-08 at 12:42 AM.

IceShadow A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 15 File comments: 93 Uploads: 0	Another suggestion! I know you have built in a search feature which is awesome, but it would be even better if the achievement window actually had a search bar connected to it somewhere. Not sure if you would be able to do this or not since I'm not such a lua editor n' such. It would be a lot easier to search like that I think.

The idea I had was to add a search frame to the side of the window that gives you a more graphical list of achievements, complete with mouseover tooltips and such. This will of course take time and there are lots of good ideas people have suggested and several others I thought of while designing this, so it may be a few updates before I get to it. (I've decided to release updates to Overachiever frequently, at least in the short term, rather than saving features up for more "complete" releases. I think most people prefer that, anyway.)

I know, what technical terms, but there is a Tracking window that comes up for zone exploration with an anchor but I cannot seem to move it, can anyone tell me if it is movable, and if so, how do you unlock and move it. Thanks much, and apologies if this is listed in the readme.

Tuhljin A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 106 File comments: 233 Uploads: 10	Well, good news, Jerricka (and others that wanted this): I decided to go ahead and add the ability to display achievement progress comparison in the tooltip you get from other players' links. The version I just uploaded includes this feature. The other addon just wasn't meshing as well as I would have liked with some new tooltip features I was adding, so I went ahead and wrote my own method for this (from scratch). I, of course, prefer my own method, but you can disable Overachiever's comparison feature if you like and use an addon like Enhanced Achievements for that purpose instead - it should still be compatible.

The tracker isn't movable yet. Only the main achievement UI is. Keep an eye out for a future version, hopefully next week, with a movable tracker.
