== Intoduction == The following script allows you to change the realm / character names within your WTF. It is used in the following situations: * Copying your WTF to the test realm installation * Moving your characters from one realm to another * Forced to rename your character The script was developed and tested on a Mac, however it can be run on Linux as-is and on Windows via [http://cygwin.com/ cygwin]. == Usage == The script can be stored and run from anywhere. migrateWTF.sh -a <account name> [-s <source dir>] [-d <destination dir>] -f <realm from> -t <realm to> {-o <old name> -n <new name>} {| | <b>-a <account name></b> || || Name of the account in capitals; this is the directory under World of Warcraft/WTF/Account |- | <b>-s <source dir></b> || (optional) || Source installation directory, defaults to /Applications/World of Warcraft |- | <b>-d <destination dir></b> || (optional) || Destination installation directory, defaults to /Applications/World of Warcraft/WoWTest |- | <b>-f <realm from></b> || || Realm you are migrating from; remember to quote it if it contains special characters |- | <b>-f <realm to></b> || || Realm you are migrating to; remember to quote it if it contains special characters |- | <b>-o <old name></b> || (optional, repeats) || Character name on source realm |- | <b>-o <new name></b> || (optional, repeats) || Character name on destination realm |} -o and -n must be specified in pairs; zero or many -o -n pairs may be specified. == Additional Information == To migrate from one realm to another within the same WoW installation i.e. you have moved realms, you should specify the same -s and -d. The old configuration will be backed up to: World of Warcraft/WTF.beforemigration == Limitations == Only one account may be migrated. Only one realm may be migrated; you cannot have multiple from or to realms. == Examples == === Migration from your realm to the test realm without renaming any characters === ./migrateWTF.sh -a NEMES11 -s "/Applications/World of Warcraft" -d "/Applications/World of Warcraft/WoWTest" -f "Dath'Remar" -t "Test Server (US PVE)" === Migration from one realm to another, renaming two toons === ./migrateWTF.sh -a NEMES11 -s "/Applications/World of Warcraft" -d "/Applications/World of Warcraft" -f "Thunderhead" -t "Privybush" -o Nemes -n Nemesy -o Rhad -n Dhar == migrateWTF.sh == <pre> #!/bin/sh SRC="/Applications/World of Warcraft" DST="${SRC}/WoWTest" NUM_OLD=0 NUM_NEW=0 # print the usage message then exit with error usage() { echo echo "${0#*/} by nemes" echo echo "wiki: http://www.wowwiki.com/MigrateWTFscript" echo echo "usage: ${0#*/} -a <account name> [-s <source dir>] [-d <destination dir>] -f <realm from> -t <realm to> {-o <old name> -n <new name>}" echo " -a account name in caps" echo " -s source directory of the WOW install, defaults to /Applications/World of Warcraft" echo " -d destination directory of the WOW install, defaults to /Applications/World of Warcraft/WoWTest" echo " -f realm migrating from" echo " -t realm migrating to" echo " -o character name on source" echo " -n character name on destination" echo echo "-o and -n must be specified in pairs; zero or many -o -n pairs may be specified" echo "when -s and -d are the same, the exiting configuration will be backed up to WTF.beforemigration" echo echo "e.g.: to migrate from your regular server to the test realm, renaming two characters:" echo " ./${0#*/} -a NEMES11 -s \"/Applications/World of Warcraft\" -d \"/Applications/World of Warcraft/WoWTest\" -f \"Dath'Remar\" -t \"Test Server (US PVE)\" -o Nemes -n Nemesey -o Rhadamanth -n Rhad" echo echo "e.g.: to migrate from Thunderhead to Privybush without renaming any characters:" echo " ./${0#*/} -a NEMES11 -s \"/Applications/World of Warcraft\" -d \"/Applications/World of Warcraft\" -f \"Thunderhead\" -t \"Privybush\"" echo exit 1 } # check the return code (first argument) and if it's not success, print the second argument and exit with error chkrc() { RC=${1} MSG=${2} if [[ ${RC} -ne 0 ]]; then echo "$MSG" echo "return code: ${RC}" exit 1 fi } # execute the sed script (first argument) on each lua file in the current directory modifyLUA() { SCRIPT=${1} PRINTED=0 echo "Modifying lua files in ${PWD}:" LUA_FILE_LIST=$(ls *.lua 2>&1 > /dev/null) if [[ ${?} -eq 0 ]]; then for F in *.lua; do if [[ ${PRINTED} -gt 2 ]]; then PRINTED=0 printf "\n" else PRINTED=$((${PRINTED}+1)) fi printf "\t${F}" sed -f "${SCRIPT}" "${F}" > "${F}.new" chkrc ${?} "\nError executing sed on ${F}, with command file ${SCRIPT}, exiting" mv "${F}.new" "${F}" done printf "\n" fi } # parse the command line options while getopts ":s:d:f:t:o:n:a:" OPT; do case ${OPT} in a) ACCT=${OPTARG} ;; s) SRC=${OPTARG} ;; d) DST=${OPTARG} ;; f) FROM=${OPTARG} ;; t) TO=${OPTARG} ;; o) OLD[${NUM_OLD}]=${OPTARG}; NUM_OLD=$((${NUM_OLD}+1)) ;; n) NEW[${NUM_NEW}]=${OPTARG}; NUM_NEW=$((${NUM_NEW}+1)) ;; \?) usage esac done shift $((${OPTIND} - 1)) # check from and to for existence if [[ ${FROM} == "" ]]; then usage fi if [[ ${TO} == "" ]]; then usage fi # check the source and dest for existence if [[ !
