If you ever find yourself annoyed by having to copy your ui/macro settings from your main to your alts by hand, this may be of use to you. We are lazy, so why not have a tool that promotes it?

Note: This is currently a simple batch script. If anyone has any suggestions on refactoring this code, additional features, or any other ideas, let me know and I'll do what I can and update this post. I am hoping this evolves into an open community effort.

Current Features:- Menu Driven
- Update Macros
- Update Addons
- Update Addon Configuration
- Update Keybindings
- Update General UI Settings

Planned Features:
- Pushing patches
- Backup current settings
- Provide a more dynamic input

How to use?
1. Copy the code in the next post and paste it into notepad
2. File -> Save As
3. Save the file with a .bat extension (Example: LazyBoxer.bat) and save it as type All Files
4. Edit the variables at the top of the batch script to match your environment. Files are copied from the 'main' variables.
5. Run the batch file

well, I was playing around with your script last night and was quite annoyed at all the add-ons that stored their settings in account wide files under the saved variables folder with separate sections for each character. So I wrote a little script in VBS (sorry didn't know how to do it in command line) that would go through and change every instance of the accountmain to the slave characters name within all of the actual files inside the savedvariables folder. Doing this with the rest of the batch wougoose wrote should pretty well synch everything.

so, incase/if anyone wants it. Here is what I did.
I added this to the ":4 echo Updating Addon Configuration..." section

Code:

C:\Scripts\SavedVariables.vbs "%gamedir1%\WTF\Account\% account1%\SavedVariables" %charmain% %char1% C:\Scripts\SavedVariables.vbs "%gamedir2%\WTF\Account\% account2%\SavedVariables" %charmain% %char2% C:\Scripts\SavedVariables.vbs "%gamedir3%\WTF\Account\% account3%\SavedVariables" %charmain% %char3% C:\Scripts\SavedVariables.vbs "%gamedir4%\WTF\Account\% account4%\SavedVariables" %charmain% %char4%

And created a text filed named SavedVariables.vbs in my C:\Scripts\ folder with the following code in it. I do not know it is a bit sloppy, but hey, I am not a professional.

Code:

on error resume next dim words(5000) set fso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject") path = WScript.Arguments(0) SearchString = WScript.Arguments(1) ReplaceString = WScript.Arguments(2) set parent = fso.getfolder(path) for each file in parent.files ' FSO Constants Const ForReading = 1 Const ForWriting = 2 Const ForAppending = 8 Const TristateUseDefault= -2 Const TristateTrue = -1 Const TristateFalse = 0 'InStr() and Replace() constants 'Const vbBinaryCompare = 0 'Const vbTextCompare = 1 ' Variables Dim objFSO, objTS, s sfs = "" ' Instantiate the object Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") ' open the text file read only Set objTS = objFSO.OpenTextFile(path &"\"& file.name, ForReading, False, TristateUseDefault) Do While objTS.AtEndOfStream <> True s = CStr(objTS.ReadLine()) If InStr(1, s, SearchString, vbTextCompare) <> 0 Or _ InStr(1 , s, SearchString, vbTextCompare) <> Null Then s = Replace(s, SearchString, ReplaceString) End If sFS = sFS & s & vbCrLf Loop ' Close the file after we read it in. objTS.Close Set objTS = Nothing 'WSCRIPT.ECHO X ' We now open the file to write it out Set objTS = objFSO.OpenTextFile(path &"\"& file.name, ForWriting, False, TristateUseDefault) objTS.Write sFS objTS.Close Set objTS = Nothing Set objFSO = Nothing next

Most of the script was hacked together from other scripts on the MSDN site. But there ya go. Any thoughts or comments would be very welcome.

nice job on the batch script, i do something manually now. definitely worth looking at your script and changing.

My only problem is that I have several toons on the same account, and each ADDON works in different ways. Some use the %ACCOUNT%\SaveVariables folder, where others use %ACCOUNT%\%SERVER%\%TOON%\Save Variables folder.

Defiantly needed this. Also it would be nice to sync the Config.WTF file, with account name, how ever i don't know alot about this stuff, or i would of just added it all into this batch script, though some research and another batch file i was able to accomplish this. basicly it copies my config.wtf file, and modifies the account name from the main account to the others so here it goes.

first i replaced the :menu section so looked like this:

Code:

:menu cls echo --------------------------------- echo LazyBoxer Utilities echo Author: wougoose echo --------------------------------- echo What would you like to update? echo 1. Macros echo 2. General UI / Layout / Chat Settings echo 3. Installed Addons echo 4. Addon Configuration echo 5. Key Bindings echo 6. Config.wtf echo 7. Exit set /p choice= goto :%choice%

Next i went to the bottom where :6 is and changed, however when i post it on here it shows up as �count1% would be % a c c o u n t 1 % without the spaces.

Code:

:6 Echo Updating Config.wtf for account:�count1% call lbwtf.bat �countmain% �count1% %gamedirmain%\WTF\config.wtf>%gamedir1%\WTF\config.wtf Echo Updating Config.wtf for account:�count2% call lbwtf.bat �countmain% �count2% %gamedirmain%\WTF\config.wtf>%gamedir2%\WTF\config.wtf Echo Updating Config.wtf for account:�count3% call lbwtf.bat �countmain% �count3% %gamedirmain%\WTF\config.wtf>%gamedir3%\WTF\config.wtf Echo Updating Config.wtf for account:�count4% call lbwtf.bat �countmain% �count4% %gamedirmain%\WTF\config.wtf>%gamedir4%\WTF\config.wtf echo Finished, Press any key to contine... pause >nul goto :menu :7

Next i copied this batch script into a file named lbwtf.bat

Code:

@echo off REM -- Prepare the Command Processor -- SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS SETLOCAL DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION ::BatchSubstitude - parses a File line by line and replaces a substring" ::syntax: BatchSubstitude.bat OldStr NewStr File :: OldStr [in] - string to be replaced :: NewStr [in] - string to replace with :: File [in] - file to be parsed if "%*"=="" findstr "^::" "%~f0"&GOTO:EOF for /f "tokens=1,* delims=]" %%A in ('"type %3|find /n /v """') do ( set "line=%%B" if defined line ( call set "line=echo.%%line:%~1=%~2%%" for /f "delims=" %%X in ('"echo."%%line%%""') do %%~X ) ELSE echo. )

and thats it, i just keep both batch files in the same folder and everything is great 8o

File Sync

For those of you who don�t want to or can�t do scripts try a product called GOODSYNC. I believe there is still a free version that will handle what you need for this and can be set to copy to multiple machines, when they come on line or at set times etc so very flexible, you can exclude certain files which is useful as there are some settings you don�t want to move across.

Anyway just a GUI way of doing things for the non-technical. I'm sure there are lots of similar products I have just found this one very good.
