SavedInstances

An addon that keeps track of the instance/raid lockouts saved against your characters, and related currencies and cooldowns. SavedInstances has the following features:

Tooltip display shows current lockouts and data for all your characters, and optionally expired lockouts
Secondary tooltip (per-lockout) shows lockout details including bosses available, lock status and time remaining, and can be linked into chat
Tracks the honor points and conquest points of all your characters, including weekly caps
Tracks seals, resources, money, and other useful currencies (configurable display)
Tracks weekly World Boss Loots
Tracks LFR bosses looted
Tracks holiday boss encounters
Tracks daily and weekly quests completed for each toon (mouseover entry to list completed quests)
Tracks Tanaan Jungle oil bosses: Doomroller, Deathtalon, Terrorfist, Vengeance (mouseover daily quests)
Tracks Garrison invasion rewards (mouseover weekly quests)
Tracks monthly Darkmoon Faire quests completed for each toon (mouseover weekly quests)
Tracks weekly "special" loots on the Timeless Isle and Isle of Thunder (mouseover weekly quests)
Tracks trade skill cooldowns (eg. Celestial cloth, Living Steel transmute, Secrets of Draenor, etc.)
Tracks data for all your characters across servers and factions
Can be configured to always show your favorite instances so you can use it like a shopping list
Tracks Blizzard's 10 instance per hour per account limit (*)
Tracking Bonus Loot Rolls (hidden by default), to help in "gaming" the bad luck protection (*)

Known Issues

SavedInstances is pretty good, but it's still not quite perfect. There are currently a few issues:

When first installed, SavedInstances has no knowledge of your other characters: you'll need to log into each for their information to be recorded
(*) = Indicates a feature displaying data that cannot be directly queried from the server, but rather is collected by the addon while observing player actions. Actions taken while the addon is disabled, or from other computers, or before a client crash, can result in this display being temporarily out-of-date or incomplete.
Lockout time remaining and other features may be off by an hour when your region changes to and from Daylight Savings Time, or if you manually adjust the timezone of your computer.
Tracking for the 10 instance per hour limit uses heuristic detection and hence may occasionally be inaccurate (notably when another player has lead and performs explicit resets), but does a reasonable job for common cases.

Usage

SavedInstances will create a new button on the minimap, and you can use it to interact with SavedInstances just fine. The addon can also be displayed using a LibDataBroker-compatible display addon. I personally use Chocolate Bar which works quite well. Finally, you can bind a key or use "/si show" to open a detached window containing the display.

Am I missing something obvious? Can this (amazing) mod display gold from each character?

I know it may not be a big deal to some; but you should the "game version" of this to 8.3.0 - at least I should say: it's still showing as for game version 8.2.5 in the downloads/files section.

Hello,

Is there any chance to add, maybe under Miscellaneous Tracking if your characters already did/got the weekly "Malefic Core" which increases the corruption resistance of your Ashjra'kamas Cloak?

Thanks in Advance

It doesn't seem likely, but a Classic version of this addon would be awesome :)

Idea for a feature:

With 44 characters farming Nalak now, I'd be amazed to see a feature that allows us to pick one or several required completions from the existing list of lockouts to be required for a character to be hidden.

In my case I'd like to hide characters that have killed Nalak.

Someone else might want to hide characters that have completed 3 specific objectives.

This is probably not widely sought after.

Actually it is a good idea. I approve. I have many alts. Half of what you play. And right now I can hardly see their lockouts if I press Alt in SavedInstances. Some different approach to data representation is needed. Not sure how it can be done. Instead of making the comment here you should go to Issues tab and make a feature request there. Or here...

There are alternatives to this addon: Legion To Do and LockedOut. I remember using something other than SavedInstances a long long time ago but can't remember the name now.

Is it possible to track does character looted the Secret Supply Chest during faction assaults?

Chest has daily cooldown.

Example:

Great addon. Love it.

It's currently not recording old WoD LFR instances for the instance limit. Might be all LFR but I haven't tried any others yet. Is it intentional, not possible or a bug?

In reply to Darkrayne:

I thought it was counting them in the last version, and it still gives the warning in chat that you are about to enter the 10th one, counter must have gotten broken or bugged in this version.

Quote from aisenfaire >>

Does anyone know of a way to have SavedInstances track how many times you've already done horrific visions for the week? (Assuming you always do the same number of masks, this would be a makeshift way of tracking the ilvl of item rewards you've already claimed)

I would also like to see this feature implemented as well as whether or not your character has done the daily mini vision.

Please add a way to scroll the savedinstances window. I can't even see the characters on the left any more. Just a simple mouse scrolling would solve it. I've seen mods that have scrolls so I know it *is* possible and it would solve the issue with a lot of alts on same server/cluster. If it would scroll from left to right or vice verse.

In order to add Echoes of Ny'alotha to SavedInstances:

- Open Currency.lua in the SavedInstances folder.

- After line 63, add the following:

1803; -- Echoes of Ny'alotha

Save and exit. Be sure to go into the options when you log in, and enable tracking of the new currency.

If you need a good, free Lua editor: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/

When using the latest beta version, the following error occurs when logging in:

2x SavedInstances\config.lua:878: attempt to concatenate local 'tex' (a nil value)
[string "@SavedInstances\config.lua"]:878: in function `BuildOptions'

[string "@Ace3\AceAddon-3.0\AceAddon-3.0-12.lua"]:613: in function <Ace3\AceAddon-3.0\AceAddon-3.0.lua:605>

Then when I tried to open the option setting, another error occurred and the option interface could not be opened

Is there any chance of adding the pet battle dungeon challenge quests to this? They each have a weekly quest associated with them so you might be able to track them by tracking whether that weekly quest has been completed yet.

Just wondering if theres any way you could add the cloak level of each character anywhere? Even if it wasnt the actual cloak level and just the ilvl of the cloak. maybe in the summary of a character when you hover over the name at the top. Love this addon and its the only thing i feel is missing! thanks
