2 different UI packs on 2 different character

Asura000 · 04-14-10, 01:22 AM

Hi all,

Im not sure how this is possible, but I would like to use 2 different UI packages they have on the famous addon sites on two of my characters (1 for each).

I understand with UI packages, they already have their premade WTF files, saved variables, and you have to replace each addon saved variable files in the Saved variable folder, so eg, to get the addon to look like the art in the UI i downloaded, I'll need to use their KGPanels saved variable of their settings.

However im a bit stomped on how I can use a different UI package for a different character, as their too have some of the same addons and replacing the saved variables over the initial UI saved variables, seems to erase all settings for the addons its replacing, thus making my second UI package look fine, but the initial one a mess.

So is there a way to load seperate UI packages for different characters?

Thanks!

Addon Control Panel. http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...tails/acp.aspx

Log in to your first toon. Type /acp
Go down the addon list and choose the addons/UI that you want for that toon. Bottom left of the acp window you will see a button named Sets. Click that. Save the addon set and give it a name. Click the ReloadUI button and yer done.

Rinse and repeat for your next toon.

The other upside to ACP is you do not have to log out to turn an addon off or on. Just do it through the ACP panel and click the ReloadUI button.

ACP wont help if he intall a second Ui pack ontop of the old one?
At least not if its the same addons, the saved variables will be overwritten wont they?

If the addons have the option of saving profiles, then Reflux can also be used. I have different UI packages for a few of my toons that also use some of the same addons, and I only use ACP. But then again, I do not use UI "compilations", so that may make a difference.

Problem is the OP wants to download 2 totally different compilations and the provided Saved Variables will result in one being overwritten. They need a way to merge the the data in the files so that its not an issue. As mentioned they use virtually the same addons in each one.

The only way I am aware of currently is to open the files by hand and copy the info in to the other one. If your lucky the uploader ONLY has the data for the UI you're trying to get in the data file. Fortunately if you make a mistake in the process you can just re-download the the files.

You could also recreate the look of one of the UI's by hand which will get the same result. Just pick the easier of the 2 UI's to recreate.

Hopefully someone has an easier solution for you.
