Feel free to ask for clarification if necessary. If it's somewhat incoherent at some points, you now know why. That way, you can simply replace the affected addon's SavedVariables file with the backed-up version to restore your configuration.ĮDIT: I typed this out in multiple chunks and while otherwise busy. Really, the only way to entirely prevent this from impacting you is to keep frequent (compressed) backups of your WTF folder contents. For the addon, a nil SavedVariable indicates 'first load', effectively resetting the addon's settings entirely.įinally, once the interface is unloaded for the next time, this default configuration will be written to the SavedVariables file, overwriting any portions of the previous settings that might've been left. If you have the TomTom addon (highly recommended) it will automatically add waypoints to your map for any unvisited bonfires and remove. When you visit one and either honor or desecrate it, it will turn green in the list (or it will hide if that option is ticked).

When the interface is loaded for the next time, this will cause a syntax error to occur when loading the SavedVariable file, causing its content to be skipped for execution, leaving the SavedVariable(s) nil. This WeakAura will show you a list of all bonfires in both Azeroth and Outland. This will cause the file to have incomplete Lua syntax (usually cut off in the middle of a table definition). The issue here arises when the client unexpectedly dies while writing one of the SavedVariables files. Thus, on interface load, the client only has to load these Lua files as if they were scripts, re-populating the global variables with the saved values stored in valid Lua syntax. When the interface is unloaded, the client loops through the SavedVariables names as listed in the TOC file, then formats the content of the globals with that name into valid Lua syntax and writes this Lua syntax into the SavedVariables files in the WTF folder you may be familiar with. This is due to the way WoW handles SavedVariables (your stored configuration). The issue that occurs if WoW crashes while writing addon settings is not limited to WA, but can happen to any addon.
