Plus many other options available through the built-in CVar browser, including some that have never been exposed by Blizzard, such as "violence level" and "nameplate distance"!
Type /aio for the main menu or /cvar to open the CVar browser directly
If you're having trouble setting a specific cvar through the browser, or performing a specific function, please describe what the problem is (and of course disable your other addons to make sure they aren't interfering with it).
I've only fiddled with the floating combat text CVars in the browser, and not one of them changes when I change it. Only thing that works is the Floating Combat Text tab and changing things there, but that doesn't really represent that much and there are plenty of things I want to change that I can't there. But none of the floating combat text settings changes when I attempt to in the CVar browser.
Since I know the addon works, the first thing we need to do is establish why it isn't working for your particular setup.
Start by disabling all of your other addons. This is an extremely important step, don't bother trying to debug this with any other addons enabled.
Log in and type /cvar to open the cvar browser.
Find "scriptErrors" in the browser and set it to 1 if it isn't already. Toggle it to 0 and back to 1 to make sure you can actually set any cvars correctly.
Find "guildMemberNotify", double click the entry, type 0 into the box and hit enter. If it remains as "1", hit escape to deselect the search box, open up your chat and type "/console guildMemberNotify 0" with the cvar browser still open.
If the value does not change, type "/dump GetCVar('guildMemberNotify')" to verify that the cvar is still set to "1".
Let me know how that goes and we can figure it out from there.
Okay, here's the test report: - Created a new char and disabled all other addons except this one. - Still not able to set guildMemberNotify - Tried setting scriptErrors (which was 1), but can't set that either. - Tried the console command on guildMemberNotify with the window open and that worked perfectly.
So it seems that setting the CVars can be done using the standard /console commands, but I just can't set them in the "CVar Browser" dialog. If there's anything else you want me to try, or some debugging messages I can turn on, let me know.
Yeah, it's definitely something weird about that function. When I comment the 3 lines out, everything seems to be working and I can set the CVars from the dialog again. As soon as I put the lines back in, I can't set anything again. I'm not seeing any errors though.
Alright, put the function I told you to delete back in the browser.lua file and save it.
Open up basicOptions.lua, there's another SetCVar function that starts on line 5 that looks like this:
local SetCVar = function(...) -- Suppress errors trying to set read-only cvars
-- Not ideal, but the api doesn't give us this information
local status, err = pcall(function(...) return _SetCVar(...) end, ...)
return status
end
Delete this function, save the file and reload the interface.
This will almost certainly make it throw errors about not being able to set read-only cvars. Ignore these and open the cvar browser again.
See if you can toggle guildMemberNotify now or if it's back to failing.
I get the same results as with the other SetCVar function in browser.lua. When I remove the function, everything works fine. When I include it again, it stops working. I still see no errors.
I just checked with "/dump..." that the value is being set when I remove the function, so I'm not sure what these SetCVar functions actually do :)
Did you try /dumping the value of the cvars when it wasn't updating them in the cvar browser to confirm that it truly wasn't changing them, and not just failing to update the display with the new value?
And just to cover my bases, you're using the latest version of the addon?
Do you know if you're using the 32 or 64 bit version of the game?
What OS are you using?
Try pasting this function into the chat and seeing if it toggles the cvar (it should return true):
I appreciate you helping me debug this since I can't reproduce the problem. The reason for all of these questions is that your testing indicates that pcall isn't working, which seems fairly unlikely, so I suspect the root cause is somewhere else.
So sorry :( I was absolutely sure I had the latest version, but just to make sure, I re-downloaded it. And now it works, so that seems to have been the problem /slapsself
Can you please update the mod just to show new people it is still active? Also, can you add a tickable box to set the constant status text from the optional reputation bar to on mouse over only?
Installing this addon not only CORRECTED AND SOLVED an issue cause by another addon I have installed. You may know the issue regarding Miks Scrolling Text; if not, don't worry about it. Secondly, I just tried out the Action Cam, and I AM IN LOVE WITH WOW AGAIN. Totally dynamic point of view even pans to a selected target and really magnifies my Feral Kitty S/KILLLLS! Many, Many Kudos to the Developer!!

Delete those lines, save the file and /reload the interface. This function could potentially be hiding an error that's being thrown by your game.
After you've reloaded your game, try changing another cvar through the cvar browser.
Let me know whether it throws a lua error, successfully modifies the value, or continues to fail silently.

Posted Feb 6, 2018For some reason I can't set CVars.
Trying to set "guildMemberNotify" to 0, but every time I set it in the interface, it just pops right back to 1.
Anyone got an idea what could be wrong?
