→ UI Tech. Details

The World of Warcraft game client stores all of its configurations in console variables (CVars). These variables affect many aspects of the game, such as the graphics, the sound system and the interface. For a complete list with default CVar values, see Console variables/Complete list or C_Console.GetAllCommands()

Details

WTF files

The Config.wtf file stores settings mostly relevant to game startup, such as gxMaximize for the screen window size and locale for the language.

\World of Warcraft\_retail_\WTF\Config.wtf

The config-cache.wtf files are used for character and WoW account-specific settings. They are synchronized to the server if the synchronizeConfig CVar is enabled (by default).

Character: \World of Warcraft\_retail_\WTF\Account\<AccountName>\<Server>\<Character>\config-cache.wtf
  Account: \World of Warcraft\_retail_\WTF\Account\<AccountName>\config-cache.wtf

Setting CVars

There are several ways of setting the console variables:

• The most commonly used CVars can be configured in the Interface window settings.
• With /console <command> <value>, for example:

/console scriptErrors 1

• Launching the game with the WoW.exe -console argument will allow you to open the Console window in-game by pressing the ` or ~ key.
• AddOns and scripts can set CVars by calling SetCVar()

Some CVars (e.g. for Nameplates) can only be set from SetCVar instead of with /console.

• The config-cache.wtf files can be manually edited while the game is not running; they would otherwise be overwritten on reloading or logging out. The syntax for setting a variable in the WTF files is:

SET variableName "value"

CVar Scope

Some CVars are character-specific or WoW account-specific (see Console variables/Complete list for a full list), for example:

• When setting nameplateMotion, it will not be changed for your other characters.
• When setting chatBubbles, it will not be changed for any other WoW accounts on your Blizzard account.

Changing a CVar cannot be undone or reverted by uninstalling, repairing the game or deleting the WTF folder as described in Resetting the WoW User Interface. This is regardless of the synchronizeConfig CVar being disabled.

Resetting CVars

Use this command to reset a specific CVar, for example for autoSelfCast

/run SetCVar("autoSelfCast", GetCVarDefault("autoSelfCast"))

Otherwise if you don't know the offending CVar, you will have to resort to resetting the whole user interface with the cvar_reset command.

/console cvar_reset
