Ok my new computer is showing up Monday and I was thinking: Is it possible to have two different folders of WoW such that one folder works for Tank A (4shaman slaves) and the other folder works for Tank B (4shamans slaves again.) I want to make sure that my macros don't get screwed up, will this work? How do I make the WoW server stop storing my macros so I can do this? Thanks for help! I use the FTL system if you were wondering why I need different sets of macros for the slaves and tanks.

edit: crap wrong forum sorry!

take a look at the info in this thread:
PowerShell script to create symbolically linked (mklink) copies of WoW ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=4854')

not only will this allow you to have separate settings for each of your toons, it improves performance/load times considerably

also, here's a thread with info on backing up macros locally:
Macros now serverside ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=137112')


To backup your macros, log in and set up your desired variables. Then, into the chat window type:
/script BackupMacros()

This will cause your macro list to be saved locally within your **WTF\Account\<Account Name>\<Realm Name>\<Character Name> folder as "macros-cache.txt".


Once saved, you can then upload these settings from your local file to our server by using the following command (again, while logged in and typed into the chat window):
/script RestoreMacros()

Thanks!
So can I turn off all server synchronization if I use this line? Does this just go in my config file or do I manually type it in at WoW screen? Is it permanent or only that session?

/console synchronizeSettings 0

I would rather the macros just be stored locally and then I can just click a different wow.exe (or keyclone) to get a different set of macros for my tank and slaves. Does this sound right?
