Use Framxml outisde the Interface dir?

[Thirsterhall]

Is is possible to point to a framexml dir ouside the standard wow/interface dir?

If not an option for that would be great. When playing/testing and having all the bliz stuff in there it can cause some problems, besides it just slows down the loading of wow. I'd like to move all that outside the wow path so as to not interfear with wow.

I agree. After extracting all the interface files, it took 1.5 to 2 times longer for me to enter the world.

move your ENTIRE interface folder where ever you want it.
then open wowuides.exe.config in a suitable editor
find and change

<setting name="WoWPathOverride" serializeAs="String">
                <value />
            </setting>

to

<setting name="WoWPathOverride" serializeAs="String">
                <value>root of where ever you put interface</value>
            </setting>

by root, i mean if you copied it to c:\
that is root
where as desktop would be
c:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Desktop\
you can noiw go back into the wow folder and get rid of all the custom ui kit crap

Ah much better , for me when i have the framexml files in my real interface folders whenever i reload my ui i lose my savedvariables.

This will also help the ui designer (for me) load faster so it doesnt have to load alll of my addons.

So people don't make the same mistake as I do, it should be mentioned that you have to actually put the FrameXML in a directory called "Interface". The WoWPathOverride expects to see Interface\FrameXML\etc. under whatever value you put in.
