Mount + Dismount + Cancel Form All-In-One

🪄 Focus CC into Castsequence Follow-Up

Automate combo CC (e.g., Fear → Banish):

/castsequence @Focus] reset=30 Fear, Banish

⚠️ StopMacro for Modifier-Sensitive Spells

Prevents accidentals with a modifier guard:
/stopmacro [mod:shift]
/cast Fear

🧭 Keybind Script Snippets

Automate or adjust bindings without using the UI:

/run SetBinding("F1", "TARGETSELF")
/run SaveBindings(2) 2 = account-wide, 1 = character-specific

📁 WTF/Config File CVars (manual tweaks)

Document that users can also edit Config.wtf directly:

SET cameraDistanceMaxZoomFactor "2.6"
SET spellQueueWindow "50"

This is helpful when troubleshooting UI resets or locked CVars.
💾 Addons to Pair With Your Commands

A short list of addons that enhance or visualize these commands:

AdvancedInterfaceOptions – Access hidden CVars easily.

Macro Toolkit – Extends macro size beyond 255 characters.
BindPad – More macro slots/keybinds.
MoveAnything – Frame moving, matches /framestack usage.
Leatrix Plus – Automates many QoL settings, like auto-loot, faster cinematics.

🔧 Console Dev Mode (advanced)

To enable console for deeper dev tools:
Add -console to game shortcut or launch options.
Press ~ in-game to open dev console.
Use commands like:

reloadui
getfps
texturelist
(Not usable in standard builds — mostly for modded/private clients or test realms)

🧙*♂️ RP Enhancements

A list of emote IDs or hidden emotes (/cry, /train, /doom, etc.).
Use of /e with prebuilt RP text macros (e.g., spell incantations, bard songs).
Sound-based emotes using PlaySoundFile() (e.g., /run PlaySoundFile("sound.mp3")).

⚠️ "Safe Macros" Tips

Don’t /cancelaura without conditions (can kill important buffs).
Use /stopmacro [mod:shift] as a guardrail.
Avoid using /target in macros during raids unless needed — can mess with targeting.

🪟 Automated UI Setup Macros

/run SetCVar("cameraDistanceMaxZoomFactor",2.6)
/run SetCVar("nameplateShowAll",1)
/run SetCVar("ActionButtonUseKeyDown",1)

This is especially useful for streamers, speedlevelers, or multi-character setups.

🧩 Final Additions: Power User Reference
🔧 WoW Config File Path (Manual Edits)

Use if you're locked out of in-game settings or troubleshooting:

Retail:
World of Warcraft/_retail_/WTF/Config.wtf

Classic:
World of Warcraft/_classic_/WTF/Config.wtf

Sample edits:
SET cameraDistanceMaxZoomFactor "2.6"
SET autoLootDefault "1"

🧰 Keybind Scripting (via Lua)

/run SetBinding("F1", "TARGETSELF")
/run SetBinding("SHIFT-F2", "TARGETPARTY2")
/run SaveBindings(2) — 2 = account-wide, 1 = character-specific

✅ Useful for setting up quick macros to bind without opening interface.
🪛 Useful Addons to Pair with This Guide

AdvancedInterfaceOptions – Unlocks hidden CVars

Macro Toolkit – Allows macros >255 characters

BindPad – Additional keybind/macro slots

Leatrix Plus – QoL automation (auto-loot, skip cutscenes)

WeakAuras – For custom alerts, buffs, debuffs

Details! – For DPS tracking and script-based outputs

🎯 Safe Macro Tips

✅ Use /stopmacro [mod:shift] to prevent accidental casts

✅ Use [mod:shift @Focus] @Mouseover,exists] for smart targeting

❌ Don’t blindly use /cancelaura without conditionals

❌ Avoid /target macros in group content unless essential

🧠 Recommended CVar Backups (must-haves)

/run SetCVar("cameraDistanceMaxZoomFactor", 2.6)
/run SetCVar("ActionButtonUseKeyDown", 1)
/run SetCVar("nameplateShowAll", 1)
/run SetCVar("spellQueueWindow", 50)
/run SetCVar("ffxGlow", 0)

/run SetCVar("nameplateShowAll",1)
/reload

✅ Use this macro on every new character to instantly apply ideal defaults.
🧙 Final Tip

Always bind /focus and /clearfocus to keys. Focus macros are the foundation of advanced PvE and PvP control.

🧬 Experimental /console Commands (Retail or PTR only)

Some of these are only valid on test realms or with developer flags enabled:

/console physicsEnabled 0 # Disable physical effects (e.g., ragdoll deaths)
/console enableTargetCastbar 1 # Force-enable target cast bars if UI glitches
/console cameraPitchSmoothSpeed 90 # Finer control for smoother camera motion
/console questPOI 1 # Enables/disables quest POI map icons

⚙️ Personal Backup Macro (Save Your Setup)

A macro that prints key CVar values — useful for cloning UI across characters or accounts:

/run print("Zoom:", GetCVar("cameraDistanceMaxZoomFactor"))
/run print("AutoLoot:", GetCVar("autoLootDefault"))
/run print("CastOnKeyDown:", GetCVar("ActionButtonUseKeyDown"))

🔄 Auto-Reapply Settings on Login (via WeakAura or Addon)

Use WeakAuras or your own addon to run /run scripts automatically when logging in:

Ideal for PvP clients, multi-alts, or speedrunners
Combine with PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD event hook

Example Lua:
local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
SetCVar("cameraDistanceMaxZoomFactor", 2.6)
SetCVar("ActionButtonUseKeyDown", 1)
SetCVar("nameplateShowAll", 1)
end)

Drop this into a personal addon or load via WeakAura Custom Code.

🧙*♂️ Hidden Emote Animations (Not in default /emote list)

/doom
/train
/moo
/boggle
/golfclap
/rasp
/sniff
/rofl
/tickle

✅ You could add a “Fun & Hidden Emotes” appendix.
🔂 Multiple Actions in One Macro (Advanced Examples)

/cancelform [nostealth]
/dismount [mounted]
/castsequence reset=target/5 Moonfire, Wrath

✅ Add a section for castsequence use cases — it’s underused but powerful.
📂 List of Default Game Folders for Manual Editing

Some users like editing files outside the game:

WTF/Config.wtf – Saved CVars
WTF/Account/ACCOUNTNAME/SavedVariables/ – Saved addon settings
Logs/WoWCombatLog.txt – Combat log file
Interface/AddOns/ – All addons go here

✅ Great for a “Power User Paths” section.
🧠 Essential Commands for Troubleshooting (for UI breaks, bugs)

/run ReloadUI()
/console scriptErrors 1
/console taintLog 1
/console cvar_default CAREFUL: Resets all CVars

WeakAuras:
function(states, ...)
-- Custom aura logic here
end

✅ You can list sample triggers or conditions (e.g., “show when cooldown < 10s”).

Document helpful WoW Lua APIs:

GetCVar("name") Get value of a CVar
UnitHealth("target") Target's health
UnitBuff("player", 1) Buff info
IsInInstance() PvP/dungeon/raid status

✅ Add a “WoW Lua API Cheat Sheet” section?

focus @Mouseover,exists,nodead]
clearfocus

✅ Already partially covered — just flag them as “essential for all players”.
⏱ Action Queue (Spell Queue) Optimization

ot everyone knows about this:

run SetCVar("SpellQueueWindow", 50)

✅ Reduce input lag for precise PvP play (default is 400ms).
🔋 FPS & Performance Diagnostics

/run print(GetFramerate())
/run print("MS:", select(3, GetNetStats()))

✅ Could add a “Performance Tools” section for troubleshooting.
🧩 Class Resource Display Toggles

Some class resources are CVars:

/run SetCVar("comboPointLocation", 1) -- Rogue combo points location
/run SetCVar("nameplateResourceOnTarget", 1) -- Shows class resources on nameplates

🧪 Testing Dummies Macro (Port via script)

Example:

/run C_Map.SetUserWaypoint(UiMapPoint.CreateFromCoordinates(84, 0.78, 0.63)) -- Dummy in Stormwind

For performance tuners:

/run UpdateAddOnMemoryUsage() for i=1,GetNumAddOns() do local mem=GetAddOnMemoryUsage(i) if mem>1 then print(GetAddOnInfo(i),mem) end end

🧞 Hidden Chat Commands

.cheat god → doesn’t work in retail, but note for private realms or dev/debug.

Always use /stopcasting with interrupts or emergency abilities.
Use [mod:shift], @Mouseover], @Focus] for fewer buttons and smarter targeting.
Consider a /say or /yell line for emergency abilities (like battle rez, major externals).
Use /targetenemy, /assist, or /focus smartly for mechanics like adds, soaks, or interrupt rotations.

Uff, that's a lot! Great job.

Uff, that's a lot! Great job.

Thanks, took me a few hours to pull it all together.

ChatGPS says it is 99.9% what most World of Warcraft players will need.

I am thinking to add other macro's like leveling or PVE macros as well.
