Subject: Slouken: settings being loaded from where? |
| |
I followed the correct procedure for updating addon data to 1.7 format. However, it left lots of stuff in the WTF\Accounts\<name>\SavedVariables.lua file (more below). I manually cleaned up SavedVariables.lua and deleted all copies of SavedVariables.lua anywhere under the Worlds of Warcraft directory (including "Copy of"s and ".lua.bak"s). I then edit SavedVariables\Titan.lua and change some settings (yes, they are correct lua and valid values for Titan and I have WoW closed). When I load up the appropriate character, the settings revert back to the old settings (which are not the default settings). Where are the settings coming from? I can't find anything that looks like a cache or any other obvious place it could come from.
I think I found the problem with stuff being left in SavedVariables.lua. If the addon has "## SavedVariables: <variable>" line and a RegisterForSave call in the lua code, it will be saved both places (old and new), right? In this case, I can safely remove the RegisterForSave call in the lua, right?

Did you find anywhere where the old settings were being saved?

Yep, but the data in both the old and new places should match... ?
