So I need to start using custom views again

[MiRai]

Is there anyway around having to 'save view' each time you log in?

Even a macro for distance and pitch.

We used to be able to save custom views.
And have them remember them once saved, until overwritten.
Since the launch of Cata, the views are not remembered.

You can manually edit your saved variables.
Or maybe it is the configuration file.
One of them anyway.
Such that the exact view you want is what is listed for a given view.
Then launch the game and have your view as desired.

Unfortunately, when you exit the game will reset the views.

Not sure if you could make the file unwriteable or if that would cause more issues.

Looks like

WoW/WTF/ACCOUNT/ACCOUNTNAME/SERVERNAME/CHARACTERNAME


camera-settings.txt

and

macros-cache.txt


camera-settings.txt isn't updated when you log out, and macros-cache.txt dosnt seem to be used anymore.


I have a key I press when I log in that sets looting and camera views and focus (which I then proceed to never use lol) and follow and basic buffs, I guess thats what you will have to do.


You can try making camera-settings.txt read only but I don't know if that file is even being used anymore.

HEY DID ANY OF YOU THREE ACTUALLY READ THE THREAD OR WERE YOU ALL JUST ON AUTOPILOT?

Please, go back and read my first post in this thread... SaveView is working again.

Guilty as charged, but my gnomette death knights want to know if this entitles them to Cookies?

Lol i told you fen. nobody has said anything, they probably assumed it was still broken like i did.

As did I until I just tried it out of the blue and it happened to be working again.

Ya I knew that I was just testing you to see if you would catch our error.

Good Work!

Mmm hmmm

I guess it dosn't save files if you don't update them. But the game did erase the macros-cache.txt file which indicates to me that its no longer being used.



Ok it saves them by account in the config-cache.wtf
