Moving Interface options to new account? - Guild Wars Forums

Kaedryn · Sep 07, 2011, 01:02 AM // 01:02

I have a friend who's a new player and likes my interface set up. So I was wondering if it's possible to copy my interface options to her computer/account or does it all have to be done all over again?

All over again. It's account based, I believe, and stored on A.net's servers, and not in the .dat file. Also there is no method I know of to export the interface settings. (of course if there is and I just haven't seen it in 6 years, I'magonna feel really stupid hehe)

You'll have to do it manually. Options are stored server side so there is no way to copy them across like you can with build templates.

yeah its by account---I have a few accounts and had hoped when I started a new one the old set up would be there, but nope...so I had my old one up on one computer and the new one up on a 2nd computer and just went down the list of how I had them set up tab by tab....

Shame really though, this should have been client based. What if you play on different computers at different resolutions?

A lot of people have this problem, at home I play at 1980 x 1080 and at work at 1366 x 768... and when I try to play at job all the interface is f*cked...
Maybe they can do something like build templates for that, because I'm using diferent interfaces when I play PVP or PVE...

Easy fix would be to not play Guild Wars at your job, tee hee
