Account-wide Achievements, Pets, & Mounts

[ghost]

Hi! Huge fan of the repack. I created an account-wide achievement, pet, and mount program and integrated it into the SPP Classics WotLK menu for personal use. I thought I’d share and submit my integration for your consideration.

The program is completely optional for users that don’t want to have account-wide achievements, pets, and mounts. For those that do use it, the program can be run whenever they want achievement, pets, or mounts shared/updated - the game will not handle transfers automatically.

The repo and release for the program can be found here: https://github.com/Domclay/spp-account-wide

The program essentially just runs a bunch of SQL queries and functions to fetch, transform/add to, and store updated achievement, pet, and mount data. I've thoroughly tested the program in-game and out, but of course, there's always the chance that uncaught bugs made it through, so I implemented a menu option to report issues to my repo's Issues tab should they arise.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding the implementation, I’d love any feedback you might have!

General Overview

Features

• Affects all player accounts and characters, so you can share between multiple accounts if you want to play more than 10 characters

  • Bot accounts are ignored

• Transfers achievement credit between all characters

  • Achievements that have been earned on any character are shared between all other characters
  • Faction specific achievements are converted depending on each character's faction
  • Achievements transferred to characters will use the earliest date if earned on multiple characters
  • Achievements won't be overwritten on any characters

• Transfers achievement rewards between all characters

  • Every new achievement transferred also grants its corresponding title and/or item rewards
  • Faction specific rewards are converted depending on each character's faction
  • Feats of strength that don't explicitly reward titles but are title related (Vanilla PVP titles, Scarab Lord, etc.) are rewarded when shared
  • All item rewards will appear in each character's mailbox on login

• Transfers achievement progress for select achievements between all characters

  • Achievements and achievement chains include:
  • Got My Mind On My Money (100g - 25,000g)
  • Dungeon & Raid Emblems (25 - 2,500)
  • Mercilessly, Vengefully, and Brutally Dedicated
  • Battleground Veteran
    • Alterac Valley
    • Arathi Basin
    • Eye of the Storm

  • Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms (Progress tracked separately for each faction)
  • Loremaster of Kalimdor (Progress tracked separately for each faction)
  • If the combined progress for an achievement is greater than the completion threshold, the achievement and reward will be added
  • Honorable kill count is shared between all characters

• Transfers pets and mounts between all characters

  • Pet and mount items are not transferred, only their spells
  • However, if an achievement that rewards a pet or mount is transferred, the item will be available in the mail and the spell will not be transferred
  • Faction specific pets and mounts are converted depending on each character's faction
  • Counts toward Mountain o' Mounts achievement chain
  • Counts toward Lil' Game Hunter achievement chain

• Cut title content has been restored, including Realm First titles and 'the Flawless Victor'

Warnings/Limitations:

• Always make a backup save before transferring
• Must be logged out before transferring
• You will no longer be able to see individual honorable kills per character, as they need to be shared in order for the in-game achievement counter to work properly
• If your alts are logged in as bots, any progress they make will count toward shared progress
• Mounts that are above a character's riding skill level are not given to that character on transfer, you will need to re-run the transfer once they have the appropriate riding skill to share those mounts with them
• It is highly recommended to retrieve item rewards from mail immediately after transfer, in order to reduce risk of mail being lost
• Only works on characters that have logged in at least once since being created
• In-game progress counters do not work properly for X Quests Complete, Loremaster of the Eastern Kingdoms, and Loremaster of Kalimdor due to limitations
  • Unless playing a Blood Elf or Draenei, the in-game progress counters for these achievements may not update after completing eligible quests, but progress will still be counted and the in-game counter will be updated next time the user runs the transfer
• Progress for Isle of Conquest and Wintergrasp Veteran achievements currently unavailable, will be updated once they're playable
• Progress for Looking for More, Many, and Multitudes achievements currently unavailable, will be updated once LFG is usable with solo queue

Apologies for the late response! I made this PR on a separate GitHub account before merging it with my main one, didn't get a notification.

Thank you for your feedback! That's correct about the random bots. I'm happy to make that change in my next implementation - I'm working on a larger scoped SPP app with more features that includes this one as part of it. I don't have an ETA on when that might be done yet unfortunately, I'm just getting back into the project after taking a break. Will submit a PR to replace this app as soon as it's done :)

Sounds good, thank you!

Hello!

I've completed the new app that includes this account-wide functionality and submitted a PR (#171). Could you close this PR out for me please? I am unable to since this PR was submitted through my old account. Apologies for the inconvenience!
