In Issue 32 it was mentioned that someone deleted the storage/config files. Which file(s) are the ones to delete?

#32

Thank you!

I'm getting this message using the latest available build with my Human Warrior only:

Looks like it's unhappy that the saved string is too long. Are you playing on SoM or Classic Era?

Looks like it's unhappy that the saved string is too long. Are you playing on SoM or Classic Era?

TBC Classic - haven't experienced this with the same client on my hunter and shaman. I've just logged into every class and can confirm this is only experienced on my human warrior.

Created a brand new orc warrior and it works fine. Brand new human warrior works too. Must be something in my config for this warrior.

Turns out... I had Classic Era templates stored for the warrior. I commented out the assert(b==0) and reloaded the game. The Talented window appeared as intended and after removing the stored templates from Classic and uncommented the else assertion, it loads fine in-game.

(WoW install location)/_classic/WTF/Account/(account name)/SavedVariables/Talented.lua

I deleted that but it still happens. I still get the error when trying to open the talent window if I don't first reload.

Your situation gets ever more perplexing. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but did you delete it whilst WoW was closed? Otherwise, the game regenerates the file when you /reloadui or logout.

Yes, WoW was closed at the time.

Kept disabling addons until it stopped: Accountant Classic, Allie's Quest Tracker, Atlas, Masque, Bartender 4, Deadly Boss Mods, Elkano's Buffbars, Gathermate 2, HandyNotes, Minimap Button Frame, NeatPlates, Prat 3.0, Questie, Recipe Radar Classic, Recount, Skillet Classic,

Everything seems to be pointing at line 455 in Core.lua:

Once I stopped getting errors about other addons from Talented and tried to open the window I got this error and no window. Once I reloaded the previous line 455 error came up but the window loaded.

And now I get the 455 error but the window loads but my hunter's talent template won't save. Others save but the hunter template will not show after a reload or relog. I can create it on another class, log off, log into my hunter and it's there. Once I "set as target" then reload/relog it's gone. The only way I can get it to stay is if I create it from scratch. And again, this is ONLY true on the hunter class.

This is the hunter template I am using:

https://classic.wowhead.com/talent-calc/hunter/5000322150511051-150510305/0AEFGhJmmpmmmnRs1BDeGaJ

Also, I loaded it with no other addons loaded and am getting the below error. I'm on my hunter at this time and my added is the latest release version v191112. I downloaded the beta v191206 and didn't get the error but got the same behavior. No window until I reload. Well, sometimes I get the top of the frame with just the "Actions", "Template" and "X" buttons. But that really has happened since the beginning. The other issue of saving templates seems to have stopped some time back as long as I import, log out, log into another toon and then back into the first toon.

Talented: Talented_Data is outdated. It was created for "1.13.2 - 32089 - Oct 4 2019 - 11302", but current build is "1.13.3 - 32790 - Dec 9 2019 - 11303". Please update.
Talented: Talented cannot perform the required action because it does not have the required talent data available for class PRIEST.
Talented: You must enable the Talented_Data helper addon for this action to work.

Much later, I have identified what I think this problem might have been. I'm not sure if you still care, play, and have the addon, but the latest version might fix it.

Sorry for my absence.
