I’m about to realm transf, and created a char to do some test. I copied WTF/Account/ACCOUNTNAME/REALMNAME/CHARNAME from the old to new destination, but majority of stuff didn’t work. I tried opening single LUA files, but it’s a mess, and addons profile aren’t available for all addons. Plus, keybinds outside bartender are broken (like, I use mousewheel to target in arena, and in the new char just zoom/unzoom camera). How can I transfer without losing 2 days to set everything back?
Only few addons use the WTF/Account/ACCOUNTNAME/REALMNAME/CHARNAME folder to store character specific settings. Most addons store all their settings (including character specific settings) in WTF/Account/ACCOUNTNAME/SavedVariables. So you have to manually edit the lua files within this folder and change the old realm name into the new one where necessary.
Regarding the keybinds, I am not sure. These should be stored globally in WTF/Account/ACCOUNTNAME/bindings-cache.wtf and work irrespective of the realm.
I tried to editing a couple of lua files in SavedVariables, replacing the bracketed part of my char name and realm with the new destination, without any sort of effect. It makes no sense to me, I pasted thing, even modified stuff inside single files, and nothing changes.
The game needs to be not running when you make the changes.
That said, any addon that doesn’t store it’s info in the character specific folder uses profiles. So all you need to do is open the addon settings in game and change the profile to be the same.
