I was working on resetting my wow UI, which I do from time to time, to give it a refresh and also help prevent my UI from being the reason that I might have crashes or errors in game.
I was going through the files recopying my keybinds and stuff and noticed some files I don’t think I’ve seen before or know what they do. These are in the WTF Folder under account and looking in a specific wow account. Does anyone know what these two files are or what they do?
It forms when you’ve allowed custom scripts within the game.
To test this, you can log in, do a /console cvar_default and log out. Then, go delete the WTF folder and log back in. The file won’t be there.
If you then run a macro script like(super handy macro for showing speeds):
/script x=GetUnitSpeed(“player”) DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(format(“Speed: %d yds/sec, %.1f kph, %.1f mph, %d%% normal run speed”,x,x3600/1093.6133,x45/22,x/7*100))
It will pop up the custom scripts warning dialog box that you have to hit okay on. Once you do that, the file will be created in the folder. If you delete the file, it will be regenerated when you reach the character select screen.
Basically, it’s a flag that gets saved on the server, but the client checks it when you log in to a server(character select screen still) so that it knows to allow them when you log into an actual character. The file likely regenerates automatically because a lot of troubleshooting involves deleting/renaming your WTF folder. So for the sake of testing and addons that use the custom scripts, this makes sure the local client always knows to allow custom scripts before logging into an actual character, so that the client doesn’t go in blind and require a /reload to fix the addons that might require the use of them.
