"Possessions" like addon for multi boxing?

[echo]

Hello again . :P Was also wondering if anyone knew of an addon like "Possessions" (it keeps track of all the items in all your characters for one account in a searchable database, so if you need to see how many linen cloth or something like that, it'll tell you how many you have total, and also tell you which of your characters have how many, if it's on their person, mailbox, or bank, etc.) but that works for multiboxers?

I run 3 accounts from one computer, and I send a lot of tradeskill related loots to my alt boxes but can never find them. any recommendation for any type of good searchable inventory database addon geared towards multiboxers would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance and have a great day!

My addon for that (I forget the name of it off hand) tracks it via the INSTALL of wow. What I mean to say is all I have to do is from my main install log onto all my toons and it records what I have (I have to open their bank and mail as well). So about once a week I do that. (It also keeps track of money). It's not an up-to-date exact count of everything but it does help some.

The boxing community is RIPE for some boxing specific addons.

But I can't code LUA :(

I have used this addon before but I have to drop it as there is no more update.( well, I can't find the latest version)

Very good to keep track of all your chars in the same account but not sure whether it can keep track of the another account.

Very nice add on for single account, maybe someone with lua experience can make a own release for multiboxer :P (i don't know is possibile to track on multiple account)

I think can be made with a synchronization via chat (many add-on do this) the problem is to do :P

Sorry for my english :P

When I was using two accounts it was very frustrating because possessions would always be out of date since I would switch accounts depending whether I was multiboxing or playing a toon on my main computer for raiding, etc.

From what I understand of add-ons is that the data is stored per account, if you look in WoW->WTF->Account folders there's only your account names, there's no SavedVariables file outside of the accounts.

Using a chat channel is a great idea, I remember using GEM for a guild I was in and it passed data via a password protected chat channel.

Another idea I had was to use a web server and database to store data and it would always be up to date. I'm not sure how add-ons that use web pages work, do the have an external program that reads the saved data in the WTF->Account folder then upload it?

If you have the option to have your own guild for you boxing toons you could use the guild bank to hold the mats.

The problem is that any addon that tracks all of your characters does it by storing data in an account-wide file, I believe:
[WoW dir]\WTF\Account\[Account]\SavedVariables\[Addon Name].lua

You can make all of your characters seem like they share the same WoW account by symbolically linking the [Account] directories to a common location, but changes from one copy of WoW will overwrite ones from another copy when you log off. I don't believe that there is any way in the WoW API to either load or save addon settings on demand so that you could avoid this issue.

I don't know API and LUA programming, then i don't know if possible, but many add on like a recap or raid potion tracker ecc.. do this, i think they send information via chat..

We need a expert add on maker (:O) or we are stuck :S
