Short answer yes, I would use whatever you made if it made something i do daily easier.

[travis2861]

I'll go ahead and upload it when I get off of work tonight. In the meantime, if anyone has any feature requests, let me know.

Edit: I'll try and upload it today. I got busy with birthday plans yesterday

Alternatly, delete your creature cache, then make a FOLDER called Creaturecache.wdb ^__^

[ev0]

Keep me updated :P I like creativity

[jh16]

I made myself a super simple batch file that deletes the Creaturecache.wdb and then launches the specified exe.

~removed picture~

That way I don't have multiple icons/shortcuts on my desktop. :P

Also helps since I have multiple WoW folders.

If asked I'll post the code for it. Then you could just paste it into a text file and edit the appropriate locations and change the txt extension to bat.

Thought I'd throw this out there since the OP hasn't done anything with the original post yet.

Alright, keep us updated!

I went this route because I wanted to be able to pin this to my taskbar (essentially replacing my original method of launching WoW). I also wanted to easily be able to update my addon at the same time.

On another note, I believe I have it finished and I'll edit the first post shortly to include the file and instructions on how to use the program.

Cool beans, certainly would like to see what you came up with.

[travis2861]

Alright, it's finally done! Check the first post for the download link and instructions. Let me know if you have any questions.

Refuses to find WoW folder no matter what i put in.

Refuses to find WoW folder no matter what i put in.

A few things you can check:

1. Verify that you have an Interface and Cache folder in your WoW directory (named "Interface" and "Cache" respectively) and that your launcher executable has the word "Launcher" in it. If either of those things isn't true, you will get that error message. That's a result of a check I put in there to hopefully filter out any WoW directories that were empty.
2. Using %ProgramFiles% (or anything similar) won't work at the moment, as it didn't even occur to me to accept that as part of the path.
3. I assume, based on your picture, that your directory is the same as the one shown in the example in the config file. If so, try using the same directory shown above.

If that still doesn't solve the problem, let me know in the thread and we can try and solve it over skype or something.

I tried that way first, all WoW files and folders are as they were installed.



As a side note, I believe windows should allow programs to automatically define %programfiles%, %TEMP%, %TMP%, %APPDATA%, and all other environmental variables defined on the local machine. Or am i mistaken?

Anyway, let me know what you wanna do i'll help you work out the kinks man.

Edit:
Even tried renaming World of Warcraft Launcher.exe to Launcher.exe. No cigar.

[travis2861]

My guess is that it's because your interface folder starts with a lower case 'i'. Change it from interface to Interface and I think it should work. I'll fix it as well and upload a new version.

Lol, that would be ridiculous, will update with results.

Edit: No shit. Should make it not case sensitive.
