Reflux

Version: 1.10

by: Kagaro [More]

Reflux is a small lightweight profile manager. With the coming of dual specs, and people building ui compilations. I built this little manager. Its goal it to allow you to easily switch all your addon profiles in one fair swoop. For Addons that don't support profiles it emulates a profile. All emulations are done by the user and none come pre configured out of the box. The user chooses if he/she wishes to emulate a profile for any addon. Emulation is not needed for any addon that uses Ace2/3DB as profiles are built in.

As ALWAYS be sure to BACKUP your WTF folder before using.

Example of usage

This example assumes your setting up a brand new profile.

/reflux create MyProfile

This will switch all current ace db based addons to this profile and setup the emulation profile.

Now i configure a bunch of stuff and notice my unit frames dont have support for profiles... Well i can fix that! First i need to check the .toc for my unit frames in this case StufUnitFrames. I find the #SavedVariables: StufDB line in the toc indication that is where it saves its configuration information. So now in game I simply add that saved variable to reflux

/reflux add StufDB

Now reflux will emulate a profile for Stuf. I finish up configuring my ui. Im pretty happy with it. Now that im done I need to save the emulated profile

/reflux save

Now my emulated profile has been saved. Lets do a quick reload to ensure our data is saved to disk.

We are done! now my ui is setup with my new profile. Lets go create another profile for my alt.

/reflux create MyAltProfile

my screen is now back to initial state all un configured. My alt is a different class so this isn't a big deal. (Future enhancement will be to copy a profile set so you can create a base config then tweak). Now i do more work...

What about stuf? Do i need to add it again? Nope its already been emulated so no need to add it again.

Now I save my new profile

/reflux save

Now I switch my main back to its original profile.

/reflux switch MyProfile

bingo my ui is now all set back up.

I log into my alt and type

/reflux switch MyAltProfile

and now my alts ui is all setup.

If you want to clear out all your reflux data /reflux cleardb and bingo its all gone. You ace profiles are still there, but the emulated profiles will be cleared.

Type /reflux to see a list of commands.

New Commands
/reflux addons [profile]
Switch addon set to what was saved int he profile. Due to technical reason you need to switch afterwards

/reflux save now optionally takes an 'addons' flag to store addon state
so /reflux save addons will save current addon list in the emualted profile.

/reflux copy [target profile]
will attempt to copy the target profile into your current profile. this will reload the ui when complete.

/reflux delete [profile]
will delete a profile. Please note you can NOT delete the current active profile.

/reflux snapshot [profile] (EXPERIMENTAL)
will create a new profile and scan each addon copying thier current profiles to the new one.

You probably shouldn't use the reflux copy function and just use the copy feature as a part of the ace profiling on fubar.

I did have a backup of my WTF, so is there no way to do this?

Since you're probably using mostly ace profile addon's I'd say just make a profile with reflux and go to each addon's ace profile and copy it to the reflux profile.

What if i already have a custom made UI, how can i save it to reflux without losing my current set-up.

Regards

If you have no created profiles, the first profile you make will be the settings and profiles you have currently. So don't fret to make the first jump. If it doesn't work just make sure you've backed up your wtf folder.

Might be a good idea to clarify that the feature is not offered in the addon info, that is a pretty huge problem. I was just reading over the description looking for this exact piece of information, because profile saving is the FIRST thing I want in a profile manager.

That said, is the ability to save one's current UI simply not possible in WoW? Or is there some other addon that will allow me to do it?

I may try to get this to work, the biggest issue is currently a given profile is very light in memory as it just contains the name. to expend this to figure out all your existing profile names and build a prper list just needs time + effort. Lately ive been working 7 days a week to meet some deadlines at work and just have been short on time to go back and add this in.

My first problem is when i /reflux add (addon file name here) It says that it
cant not find the file and that it may be spelling wrong, but i spell it right,
and even copy + pasting the name of it wont work.

Another one is that no matter how many times i try i cant get my minimap
and chat frames to appear how they are in my UI. they start off like the
regular wow UI does. Map in the right hand corner and chat frame in the
middle left.

Questions:
1: Is there any way i can fix the /reflux add problem?
2: is there any way to make it so that my minimap and chat frames apear
were i want them to every time without manually moving them after a /reflux
switch [profile name here]?

Please contact me in message or here on the comments of your addon.
thanks a bunch!

As for 1 its case sensitive and dont use spaces in the name. otherwise is a simple table lookup so should find the name.
As for 2, the defaul map uses the layout-cache.txt to store its position as of right now there is no way to get this information in game, same goes for chat frames. I think Chatter makes fake chat frames to work around this.

When adding an addon for emulation you have to add its saved variable location name.

So for example say you want to add stuf unit frames for emulation you would type /reflux add StufDB
StufDB being the name of the saved variable file. To locate the file open the .toc file for the addon your trying to add and you will see something like this:

## Interface: 30200
## Title: Stuf Unit Frames
## Author: TotalPackage
## Notes: Main unitframes replacement. Assembly optional.
## Version: 3.2.006

## SavedVariables: StufDB
## SavedVariablesPerCharacter: StufCharDB

## X-Category: UnitFrame
## OptionalDeps: LibSharedMedia-3.0, ButtonFacade, LibButtonFacade, StufLocale

## LoadManagers: AddonLoader
## X-LoadOn-Always: true

embeds.xml
core.lua
bars.lua
text.lua
icons.lua
aura.lua

Note the saved variable location.

If your map is the default one it does not have a saved variable file that addons use so it will not be able to emulate a profile for it. Same goes for the chat frame. you can use a minimap addon to fix the map issue, not sure about the chat frame as the default one suits my needs so i never looked to see if it can be replaced.

Say I just downloaded reflux, and want to save the UI i have currently, Can I do that without having to create one first with reflux? This would be realllly awesome, because my ui is very complex and would be nigh impossible to setup again the way I want it.

That would be too good to be true...

Per character means a new copy is created for every character that is distinct and unique for that character. So its like a unique namespace for each character you have. when combind with normal SavedVariables.
