WoW Launcher (clears cache)

[xwinterx]

Here is just a stupid little launcher I made myself that will clear WoW's cache then launch the program. I know the setup could be better, but I am just a beginner in c# so you have to set the stuff manually.

How to setup:

1. Run WoW Launcher
2. Click Settings->Set Cache Folder...
3. Browse to your cache folder and click OK
4. Click Settings->Set Wow.exe...
5. Browse and select your wow.exe or launcher, doesn't matter.

Once it is set, you can just click the "Launch WoW" button and there you go!

The first time you run it, there is no settings file so you will get an error dialog. To see what you have already set just click Settings->View Paths... and it will show you your currently configured paths.

WARNING! This deletes crap! So don't set it to something important on accident!

Enjoy. Hope someone besides me finds it useful.

Last time I cleaned my cache folder my addon settings were removed.
And actually I can't get the point of this launcher. As far as I know the cache is created to make the game load faster.
So why delete the cache everytime you start WoW?

For people who farm stuff with say: NPC Scan. This tool is terrific. It auto deletes your cache without you having to do 20 seconds of clicking, finding the folder, and deleting it.

You could also just make a .bat file on your desktop that consists of something like this:

rmdir /s /q "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Cache" (or wherever your file is located) so that if you just click on it whenever you want your cache gone.

+1, I do this since few years now.

But Executable could be more userfriendly

No need for a tool if you need to clear the cache for NPCscan.

Open Notepad and paste this: (make sure the path points to your location of the game)

@ECHO OFF
del "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Cache\WDB\enGB\creaturecache.wdb"
START "wow" "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Wow.exe"

Save the file with the ending .bat, "whatever.bat" maybe, and click the file when you want to start wow with the cache cleared for NPCscan.

Or you can open up your WoW directory, and delete the cache, just sayin' like a super saiyan.

Pretty much the same, but starts WoW with high Priority, my WoW-Start- .bat file looks like:

rmdir /s /q C:\1WoW\Cache
start /high C:\1WoW\Wow.exe
