World of Warcraft NPCScan script
So if you’re using the mod _NPCscan for the game World of Warcraft, you know that you have to clear your creature cash to scan for the same mob twice. It can be tedious to do this repetitively, so I’ve made a simple command line script for Windows to do the job on start-up.
(This works for Windows XP. It would work for Vista and 7 but it might require some tweaking. I wouldn’t know how to do it though since I don’t have Vista or 7.)
Make a text file in the same folder as your WoW executable and fill it with this:
del Cache\WDB\enUS\creaturecache.wdb
start Launcher.exe
then save it as scanlauncher.cmd. The important part is that you save it as something.cmd. If you have file extensions hidden, you’ll have to enable them, at least temporarily. (http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/win_fcab_show_file_extensions.mspx?mfr=true shows how in the notes.)
After you’ve made the file, launch WoW with this new file! It will clear the creature cache just before the game starts. You can make a shortcut by right-click dragging and selecting create shortcut. You can change the icon by right clicking the script and going to properties.
