Add-Ons settings reset

Pausekey · August 2014

So after the last major patch I lost all my settings, harvest data, and it was a huge pain setting it all back up. I promised not to let it happen again, so I created a backup folder with all my add-ons. After the patch today I copied them over, replaced the files, but my settings were still reset. Anyone got a suggestion on this? Or is there nothing I can do to get my old setting back? I mean even my harvest data is gone again lol.

They might be resetting because the addons are broken due to being out of date. Wait for fixes from addon authors, then try reapplying your backed up settings again.

what did you copy exactly?
The saved variable folder is the one storing the addon setting and data. The addon folder only contains the addons

^^^ that ... Also, the update might have broken your AddOns to the point where they can't read the saved settings, even if they're there.

Best to keep a copy of your settings until the AddOn makers have updated them for this patch.

Good thing ZOS always gives us API change notes in advance ...

I can't test it yet (EU server is not updated yet), but it seems that GetDisplayName() function works again, so you will have to edit saved variables file to make it work.

On ESOUI site is this comment to the HarvestMap addon:

I was able to go in under my backup harvestmap.lua and re-add the account name into the lua where we had to take it out last patch.

Copy and paste your backup Harvestmap.lua into your savedvariables folder and open it.

At the very top you should see this:
Harvest_SavedVars =
{
    ["Default"] =
    {
        [""] =
and change the [""] to:

["@youraccountname"]

so it reads as:
Harvest_SavedVars =
{
    ["Default"] =
    {
        ["@youraccountname"] =
Hopefully this fixes it for you.

Nice to know that

I can verify that the above fix works for all saved variables files.

Be aware that Wykyyds Framework has two locations for the ["@youraccountname"]

mhFrameworkNeatStuff =
{
["NeatStuff"] =
{
["@youraccountname"] =

And several other Addons may have multiple locations

Get Notepad++ and you can find and replace them all quickly
