I made a druid today and upon reaching lvl 100 I got to 'remember' the bug that is the bane of every druid! xD
Here's how to fix it!
LOCATING THE FILES THAT NEED EDITING:
First of all you need locate three files, SavedVariables.lua , SavedVariables.lua.bak and config-cache.wtf
On Windows XP machines it is here:
Program Files -> World of Warcraft -> WTF -> Account -> (Your Account Name) -> (Name of Server) -> (Your Druid's Name)
On Windows Vista systems (if you installed WoW to the Program Files folder, if not then use the Window XP location), it is here:
My Documents -> App Data -> Local -> VirtualStore -> Program Files -> World of Warcraft -> WTF -> Account -> (Your Account Name) -> (Server Name) -> (Your Druid's Name)
On Windows Vista, if you installed the game to the default location (C:\Program Files), then the folder is hidden by default, To see the folder. open Windows Explorer, and on the menu bar click Tools -> Folder Options, then click the View tab, and click "Show hidden files and folders". After you've done that, follow this path to your .lua file.
Once you get into the correct folder, locate SavedVariables.lua , SavedVariables.lua.bak and config-cache.wtf . You may not have the .bak file, don't worry if you don't its merely an archived version of the .lua file. If you do not have a file called SavedVariables.lua then skip to the bottom of this post for instructions.
IF YOU DO HAVE SAVEDVARIABLES.LUA:
Now using Notepad or your favorite text editor (such as Notepad++) open SavedVariables.lua.
You will see this:
Code:
SHOW_KEYRING = 0
PLAYERSTAT_LEFTDROPDOWN_SELECTION = "PLAYERSTAT_BASE_STATS"
PLAYERSTAT_RIGHTDROPDOWN_SELECTION = "PLAYERSTAT_MELEE_COMBAT"
SHOW_BATTLEFIELD_MINIMAP = "0"
Replace that with this:
Code:
SHOW_KEYRING = 0
PLAYERSTAT_LEFTDROPDOWN_SELECTION = "PLAYERSTAT_SPELL_COMBAT"
PLAYERSTAT_RIGHTDROPDOWN_SELECTION = "PLAYERSTAT_SPELL_COMBAT"
SHOW_BATTLEFIELD_MINIMAP = "0"
open config-cache and edit it to look like this
Code:
SET blockTrades "1"
SET assistAttack "1"
SET autoSelfCast "1"
SET stopAutoAttackOnTargetChange "1"
SET minimapZoom "0"
SET cameraSavedDistance "15.000000"
SET cameraSavedPitch "21.349997"
SET playerStatLeftDropdown "PLAYERSTAT_DEFENSES"
SET playerStatRightDropdown "PLAYERSTAT_MELEE_COMBAT"
SET ShowClassColorInNameplate "1"
Now save the file. SavedVariables.lua.bak can also be modified in the same way or you can simply delete the file as WoW will create a new one.
Once you complete this editing you should be able to safely open your Character window without an Error 132 crash. However there is a catch: You can never view your Base Stats. If you attempt to view your Base Stats, your WoW client will crash. Melee, Defense, Ranged and Spell stats work just fine.
IF YOU DON"T HAVE SAVEDVARIABABLES.LUA:
OK, you don't have a SavedVariables.lua file in your Druid's folder. Don't worry, WoW was unable to create this file as it crashed or otherwise was closed by a means other than a normal log out. However it's real easy to create this file. Right Click on an empty area of your Druid's character folder and then select New -> Text document. Notepad will now open up. Now paste in the following code:
Code:
SHOW_KEYRING = 0
PLAYERSTAT_LEFTDROPDOWN_SELECTION = "PLAYERSTAT_SPELL_COMBAT"
PLAYERSTAT_RIGHTDROPDOWN_SELECTION = "PLAYERSTAT_SPELL_COMBAT"
SHOW_BATTLEFIELD_MINIMAP = "0"
Once you have completed the copy and paste, save the file with this name: SavedVariables.lua
Be sure that drop down in the field below the file name is set to *.* All Files or something close to that. Now click the Save button.
That will take care of it, but if you need any help post here! ^^
