Keeping All Game Settings Synced Across Multiple Accounts on Multiple PC

[DualZilla]

Is there a better way to share saved add-on settings across the multiple WTF account folders and PCs as a Multiboxer?

Even keeping it simple on just 1 PC with 2 accounts

I've seen the symbolic linking articles like this one on wowhead but it appears to only work well for 1 account logged on at a time on 1 PC

I've seen similar articles using say onedrive in a similar way but causes issues on multiple PCs

I am able to do what I need now but it is a TON of work with over 150 add-ons and 5 accounts on 2 PCs

The Problem:
To me it seems there should be a way to make a virtual structure for everything beyond the

"WOW1" AccountName I.E. the ServerName\CharacterName\SavedVariables folder structure


Right now to accomplish this:
I have written custom scripts to copy the folders periodically from 1 PC to another using robocopy and mirror to only update newer from my main

@echo off
for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /tee') do (
set _date=%%a%%b%%c
)

Robocopy "C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\WTF" "\\PCNAME\WTF" /MIR /FFT /Z /XA:H /W:5 /log:%_date%.txt


I am able to copy settings for addons from one account folder to another manually to sort of share settings after logging all the way out

Addons like ELVUI make shareing profiles by streaming or exporting a code easier so all frames and actionbars etc are in the same place

IE select a character and click share settings button vs having 25 addons do what ELVUI does

I can save Actionbar profiles to have the same spells at the same spots on the same actionbars 1-10 x3 foir each spec for all warriors or hunters and stream via command line in game

/abp send charname profilename

I have addon profiles in BetterAddonList addon to handle my raid vs group vs lowbie vs max level etc

I use /reflux addon to have virtual ACE3 enabled profiles now synced all using same name across all 12 characters so that all 12 characters use say Default vs a unique per character named version so changing 1 character changes all per account and then copy to other accounts and/or to other PC

using ISBOXER setup to create and save macros and rotations so all my warriors can use the same spell rotations etc vs Gnome Sequencer so i just have to change rotations in 1 spot

Have to manually copy click bars and icon image sets per PC

Then there is all these macros and command lines to remember!!!!!!

i use dropbox, but this does not do the alt accounts, but it keeps the setting on multiple pc's again. and setup each alt account by hand

I've been impressed with /reflux despite the name...

since trying it the other day and using the one on wowinterface that someone else updated since the one on curse is older and pre ACE 3

Seems to take a couple initial forces of "/reflux switch newprofilename" to get some ACE3 profiles to change to the new name and then copying the info from the old profile name to the new one from each addon to build a standard all one profile name setup...

Still will be tedious copying over to each account folder and each PC each of the LUAs to maintain even the one profile of settings per addon per account

but at least all 12 er now 14 and soon 15+ characters per server can share and tweak the same profile and have it replicated without interaction from me identically

Some addons don't play nice knowing about characters outside their account...like postal which I use the alt dropdown to send account bound stuff(I have diff BNET accounts for some characters cuz I've been playing forever...before there were BNET accounts)

...and altaholic can have issues depending on which PC I last logged onto before sending that item that I am now searching for more of

Addons like details use skin profiles and setup profiles and have to be manually configured but at least it has a use this profile for all characters check box but still aren't the exact same and require a little manual adjustment

Found out how to hide and show elements on the fly of ELVUI like Actionbars with macros so I can drop some other addons like button forge and flyout buttons and opie and still maintain things like my heal potions in the same bar and same place across all characters and all my hunters have same spell sets per bar easily shared via action bar profiles addon

I will keep looking into it...I can write some custom scripts to copy everything automatically...but it is still a bear to maintain as I add or drop addons

I didn't look at the dropbox setup specifics just saw issues if using onedrive and what looked like locks on folders from different PCs accessing files causing things to blow up

I might be able to setup something better than symbolic links over a LAN server and see what breaks as I go along...and try to fix or work around it

all takes time tho

I figured since there is some virtualization done with the game config with ISBoxer per character that there might be some way to configure a virtual file to handle the saved variables per character and per account

I can't even fathom some people who run 10-100 accounts running much aside from default UI without a better way of handling the UI virtualization issues

Most addons have a "default" profile. This one will be loaded when you start up the game.

F.ex if you want all your characters to use this same one, its a easy copy and paste thing. I like to use as many addons as this as possible. Should there be some toon that need other settings or even addons, i either switch over to a different profile on that spesifik character, or that toon gets its own individual wow installation.

I tend to stick to calling my profiles tank, healer, melee dps, ranged dps, banker. But indeed there is still some work that need to be done.

For keybinds and macroes i have just copy pasted the inner contents of the files needed from one to another.
