problem with wow settings reseting

[jkkeogh]

Hi, i recently followed my mates example (Holmeser) and started 5 boxing :P so i downloaded hotkeynet.. set it up to start up 5 wow's etc... but i have found that when i exit the wow's, next time i go on them again i have to redo jamba, key bindings, etc etc (the general things that take like 30mins) this is very annoying obviously... is there something im doing wrong or something i can do to stop this?

thanks

Are you playing a solo toon in between MB sessions? This will change settings and if it get real bad (sounds like it does) you might want to use a different WoW directory to run the MB toons. You can symlink or just update them seperately

[jkkeogh]

hi, im running the MB toons off one directory... could this be the problem? do i have to copy wow 5 times? :/

[jkkeogh]

basically this is the part of the script:
//-----------------------------------------------------------
// SUBROUTINE TO LAUNCH AND RENAME A COPY OF WOW.
//-----------------------------------------------------------
<Command LaunchAndRename>
<SendPC %1%>
<Run "c:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe">
<RenameTargetWin %2%>
//-----------------------------------------------------------
// HOTKEY TO LAUNCH AND RENAME YOUR WOW WINDOWS
//-----------------------------------------------------------
<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Alt Ctrl L>
<LaunchAndRename Local WoW1>
<LaunchAndRename Local WoW2>
<LaunchAndRename Local WoW3>
<LaunchAndRename Local WoW4>
<LaunchAndRename Local WoW5>

is their something i can change to make it keep my settings?

any help would be great as im kinda new to this :)

Are you running in admin mode for WoW? Are you exiting them all at once or one by one? Those are the usual culprits, HKN shouldn't do anything at all to the WTF files which store the interface settings.

[jkkeogh]

um, im not running them in admin mode atm and i exit them 1 at a time :)

[jkkeogh]

should i be running them in admin and exiting all at the same time? :D if so how would i close all at the same time? thx

right ive figured out that it saves if i run wow as admin but how to i put admin version wow into the script?

If you right-click on the wow.exe in your windows explorer, click on properties and then on the compatibility tab you can set it to always run as administrator.

[Khatovar]

Right-click the shortcut for HKN, in the options there should be "run as admin"

[jkkeogh]

OH YES!!!!!! THANKS PEOPLE :) Fyldren and khatovar you have been a great help thx so much 5*.

p.s. Keep a look out for Holmesers 5 box Ramparts Video (featuring me) :) will be on soon nicely edited. Enjoy :)

Hehe np, though it's kinda strange you have this problem. I also use hotkeynet and a single wow-instance/folder for my slave-pc and I don't use 'run as admin' but everything is still saved :)
