IMPORTANT 1.9 WOW CLIENT INFO
When the 1.9 WoW client patch goes live, the ability to save key bindings on a per character basis will be part of the default UI. As such this mod is now obsolete. However, in order to make sure your existing binding sets get saved using the new default UI method, it will be necessary to login each character with a saved set once. You'll probably want to open the key binding interface to make sure your saved sets get loaded properly and the checkbox for "Character Specific Key Bindings" is checked. Once you have logged in each character once, you can safely uninstall this mod by deleting the PerCharBinding folder from your Addons folder. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description This is a simple addon whose only job is to make it so that key and mouse bindings are a per character setting instead of the Blizzard default of per account. The intended audience is anyone who plays multiple characters from the same account and wants to use different key bindings depending on which character they play. No configuration is required. Saving and loading the binding profiles happens automatically when you switch characters. The base functionality provided is very similar to Tale/Bima's ClassBinding addon which I personally used for a long time before it became unstable with the 1.5 WoW patch. It appears Bima has either been too busy to fix it or was never able to reproduce the problem. So I decided to re-write the functionality I used from scratch. Note to ClassBinding users: I have included a command to import your old per-character ClassBinding sets. If you want to import those settings, DON'T DELETE the ClassBinding addon until you're done with these instructions. - Make sure both PerCharBinding and ClassBinding are installed and enabled. - Login with any character and type the command "/pcb import" - You should see a list of profiles that were imported from ClassBinding. - If all the profiles were imported successfully, you can logout and delete the ClassBinding addon. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Known Issues * The import command currently only imports character-specific binding sets from ClassBinding. If there is enough demand, I will add support for importing class sets as well. If you plan on waiting for this support, don't delete the ClassBinding addon because it will delete your old settings as well. Instead, just leave it disabled.

1.1.5
* Pre-updated for 1.9 patch. This will be the last update because the functionality will be built-in to the default UI. * Added code to check which version of the client is running and use the appropriate API calls in order to be compatible with both 1.8 and 1.9 clients. |

November 26, 2005 - 11:54 am [ Reply ]It looks like Blizzard finally incorporated this concept into the default UI for 1.9. I will be releasing a compatible version for 1.9 so that people can load their currently saved binding sets into their characters using the new default method. However, development will likely stop after that because the functionality will be obsolete.
Currently, there's a bug on the test realm with the SaveBindings() API command causing a #132 client crash. So if you're playing on the test server, you'll want to disable PerCharBinding until they fix that.
