camera view question

[echo]

Happy friday :)

Was readjusting the camera settings on my main to get it just right today, and was wondering if there's a file somewhere I can copy over to my other toons so every toon can have the same saved 5 camera views? I figure that would help me get as much precision as possible with ISBoxer's ground target ae spells if I can hit a key and have all accounts use the exact same camera angle at once.

If anyone can tell me if this is possible, and if so, which file or setting I should toggle to make all toons share the same camera view angle presets, that would be much appreciated. thanks in advance!

Blizzard bugged this somehow around the same time it introduced CTM and ITW. its impossble to retain the saved setview after you log out so far. Even after infusing the config.wtf your unable to get those settings to stick. PM me if you find a way around this.

Yes, you can copy these settings over to your alts. You have to inject them into your config.wtf file. The problem is that they will not save when you exit the game. You will have to figure out the settings, and have something add them to each config.wtf every time before you load the games up. Keyclone can do this. Octopus can do this. Not sure about ISBoxer or others.

If you can figure out how to change script running permissions in windows, you can do it with powershell (same thing we used to do symbolic links for multiple installs). This code should work.



$cm_f = '^SET camera.*$'

$cm_r = Get-Content D:\camera_settings.wtf

(Get-Content "D:\World of Warcraft\WTF\Config.wtf") | Where-Object {$_ -notmatch $cm_f} | Set-Content "D:\World of Warcraft\WTF\Config.wtf"

Add-Content "D:\World of Warcraft\WTF\Config.wtf" $cm_r


Opens the config.wtf, strips out any existing camera settings (you never know, they might fix it, and of course forget to tell anyone), and copies the contents of camera-settings.wtf onto the end of it.

I thought there was some macro or /script command to set camera views. Is that incorrect?

In my experience, it does not work properly.
