Uploading localized data broken

[dsrbo]

Hi Cob,

I am running the German WoW Client 1.6.1 on Windows XP SP2 with .NET Beta 2 installed and tried uploading data an hour ago. GWAM downloaded a new exe and restarted. After the restart it only tried to upload data from my english client installation (European Language Package), which has a seperate folder in WoW.enGB below the main installation directory.

Is this intended?

With kind regards,
Daniel

Hey Daniel,

Err yeah -- that's the result of me not thinking things all the way through. =) I'll get that cleaned up tonight if I can get to it. Right now it defaults to the english folder if it can find it, I'll try and get it modified so it will do uploads for both. =)

Just to provide more information:

When you install one European Client, you can install all other languages as language packs. This will result in:

German main installation folder\
\WoW.enGB\
\WoW.frFR\

English main installation folder\
\WoW.deDE\
\WoW.frFR\

French main installation folder\
\WoW.deDE\
\WoW.enGB\

And depending on which server you play on, determines where your SavedVariables.lua is being written out?

No, it depends on the client you start. If you're playing the German version of the game and use the German language pack, than it's the main directory. I have a German version of the game but I'm using the English language pack, so my SV-File goes into the WoW.enGB subdirectory

And depending on which server you play on, determines where your SavedVariables.lua is being written out?
The SavedVariables.lua file will always be in WTF/Account/ACCOUNTNAME/

Below the installation directory for each locale, there will be a WTF directory, as each language pack is treated as seperate installation of the game.

In my case, it looks like this:


German main installation folder\
\WTF\Account\Accountname\SavedVariables.lua
\WoW.enGB\
\WTF\Account\Accountname\SavedVariables.lua

Ok... I think I've got this one tackled. It should be picking up SavedVariable.lua files from every localization folder (and WoWTest too).

Let me know if it doesn't.

:D

Another hint:
There can only be one WoWTest installation for the main WoW installation, you can not install multiple WoWTest installations for each language pack.
