Blizzax Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) Hi guys! There might be some more people out there with tons of characters who would like to get their chat and interface settings back after the merge. The settings files for your characters lie here: C:\Users\[userName]\AppData\Local\SWTOR\swtor\settings The file names begin with the server ID. Unfortunately BioWare did not migrate those files with a patch. So all your settings are still there but named with the old server IDs. To get your settings back, just rename the files with the new server IDs: he3001 - Satele he3000 - Star Forge he4000 - Malgus he4001 - Tulak Hord he4002 - Leviathan Old server IDs (not quite sure about former east coast): he1084 - Jedi Covenant he1086 - Prophecy of the Five he1093 - Shadowlands he1098 - Ebon Hawk he2000 - Bastion he2002 - Harbinger he6122 - ToFN he6124 - TRE he6127 - T3-M4 he6132 - Mantle of the Force Please correct or add old IDs of your servers. Cheers Blizzax Edited November 9, 2017 by Blizzax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyrusramsey Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) Sadly this didn't work for me You must not be logged onto the character you're changing for it to work. Aside from that or having mistyped, there's really no way this could not work. Also: he6131 Progenitor he1096 Jung Ma These seemed to be missing still.

JattaGin Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) I've written a GUI tool that will do this for you. (...) Fantastic and most impressive! Thank you very much! Also kudos to the OP for pointing out the issues with the settings. I wouldn't have found that solution by myself.

SteveTheCynic Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 thanks fot THE MOST IMPORTANT THREAD after the merge I'm actually taking advantage of this as a way to force myself to correctly configure all my characters(1), but it's useful to know about it. (1) Each time I log into a character for the first time post-merge, I'll see that the correct interface is not selected, and configure the keyboard layout (import), the UI layout, and three specific settings in the UI part of preferences (activate "cooldown text" = numeric countdowns of time-to-cool and the two way at the bottom to prevent closing a vendor or cargo hold from also closing my inventory) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZechman Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 ... Also: he6131 Progenitor he1096 Jung Ma These seemed to be missing still. Thanks for the note on Progenitor. I've updated the program so that it associates 6131 with Progenitor (and Darth Malgus as the expected target server). Jung Ma was already ID'd. You can see it in the screen shot. BUT . . . if what you really meant is that those two servers didn't appear on your screen, then I should point out that the list on the left side will only show servers that you actually had characters on (or, technically, servers for which it found files in the given folder whose names contain the magic numbers), So if, for example, you only ever played on two servers, then those two servers will be the only ones that will be shown on the left-side list.

Eh, I did not check the screenshot, it was directed at the OP, a bit unclear perhaps. I already changed all my files manually, but had saved the codes of servers I'd been on.

DZechman Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 a bit late, but still usefull he 6135 : Darth Nihilus he 6136 : Battle Meditation Much appreciated! I've updated the program to include those 2 as well, both of which put you on The Leviathan today. (Only 3 unknowns remaining.) Eh, I did not check the screenshot, it was directed at the OP, a bit unclear perhaps. I already changed all my files manually, but had saved the codes of servers I'd been on. Oops, my mistake. ...except for the saying "Thanks" part, which was NOT a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
