Dealing with mods acrossed multiple servers, how?

[Kaltes]

Hey guys,

I may or may not be playing characters across multiple servers... I have established my mods pretty well on my character on Anvilmar. Now my friend wants me to play on Frostmane as well. How does someone manage their mods across multiple servers? I know all of the ones that I have on were setup the way I want them on the new server, but there are definitely some mods I want to tweak so that they show up on one character and not another.

Any ideas on what you multiple server guys do?

Thanks!

You can enable mods for certain characters only.
Think its also possible to copy all settings of your mods, in your WoW-dir\WTF\acc-name\realm-name\char-name\ to another (haven't tried this myself though).

You can manage addons from the start screen and many addons allow configurations ingame for all different characters. You can chose a default setting there or assign the settings of one character to another....

I know this worked with Titan and Trinity allows you to save templates ingame and then you can load them later on when you play another character...etc...

Well the only problem was while you can control mods for specific characters, that only applies to characters on the same realm. When you create a character on another realm, only that character's name appears in the list. It's bad because whatever mod changes you make in general will affect the characters on the other realm's... which is what I'm trying to find a way around.

If you are using mods based on the Ace library you can select a profile to configure. Profiles are usually:

* Individual Character
* Character Class
* or Server

based. You can create your own profiles and simply select them for subsequent characters. I go with the file copy option. It is the easiest and fastest way to manage this.

Gavriel,

I attempted doing this since I primarily run Ace2 mods... and it was basically the same thing, I did not see like "Kaltes from Anvilmar" while on my Frostmane character... strange. I have to figure out what files I need to copy from where to where to be able to control that too.

I've considered making a sort of batch file, and keeping two separate Addons directories... that way I can rename from one to the other when playing the separate servers. I don't think that's a bad idea...

Note: Just checked out my primary server configuration... I re-setup my FuBar profile, then specified that it is my "Kaltes of Anvilmar" profile. When I went to copy settings from default, I did see Kaltes from Frostmane on there... oh well!

The changes don't seem to be major between the servers. I'm just going to have to wait and see if I notice any discrepancies with doing this.

Thanks guys.
