This package provides many pre-built DLLs for enhancing the vanilla 1.12 client WoW gameplay experience, aimed in particular at ease of use and accessibility but also bug fixes.
|
||||
|
||||
You may get all features by installing `weirdutils.dll`, or choose any selection of features via individual DLLs.
|
||||
On Turtle WoW, place your chosen DLLs next to your `WoW.exe` and add them to your `dlls.txt`. For other versions you will need some sort of DLL loader.

### Utility Minimap Trackings
|
||||
|
||||
Adds custom minimap icons for NPC types (vendors, trainers, innkeepers, etc.) and game objects (mailboxes).
|
||||
Replaces the native tracking dropdown with a combined menu showing both spell tracking and NPC category tracking.
|
||||
Can be disabled easily from normal AddOn menu.
|
||||
Adds TBC/WotLK-style minimap tracking icons for NPC types, game objects, and quest givers.
|
||||
Replaces the native tracking dropdown with a combined menu showing both spell tracking and NPC category tracking.
|
||||
Can be disabled from the normal AddOn menu. Preferences saved per-character.
|
||||
|
||||
- Click the minimap tracking icon to open the dropdown
|
||||
- Check/uncheck NPC categories to toggle their minimap icons
|
||||
- Spell tracking (Hunter tracking, Find Herbs, etc.) remains available alongside NPC tracking
|
||||
- "Hide in Cities" toggle suppresses NPC icons in capital cities
|
||||
|
||||
Supports many NPC types such as Auctioneer, Banker, Flightmaster, Repair, Reagents, Poisons, and more
|
||||
Supported game objects: Mailbox, Brainwasher
|
||||
Tracks various npc types and useful objects like Oranges and Brainwasher and Mailbox.

### Clickthrough
|
||||
|
||||
Smart cursor targeting that prioritizes useful interactions. Instead of always selecting the nearest object under the cursor, the module finds the most useful target along the ray in priority order.
|
||||
|
||||
- Lootable corpses first, then interactable game objects/portals, then interactable NPCs, then normal selection
|
||||
- Dead non-lootable corpses can still be selected when nothing more useful is behind them
|
||||
- Disabled inside battlegrounds to prevent targeting objectives through enemy players
|
||||
|
||||
Can replaces SuperWoW's `Clickthrough()` toggle with always-on smart targeting that doesn't require a manual toggle and preserves the ability to select dead bodies when needed. Disable corpse-clickthrough in SuperAPI if you want this.

### Performance
|
||||
|
||||
Engine-level optimizations that reduce CPU time on math, rendering helpers, file lookups, and data decompression. No visual difference, no configuration needed. Included in `weirdutils.dll`.
|
||||
|
||||
- **SIMD Math** - replaces 20+ internal math functions with SSE/AVX equivalents covering skeletal animation, particle rendering, frustum culling, collision detection, text glyph caching, and float-to-integer conversion
|
||||
- **Data Decompression** - swaps the game's 2004-era zlib with a modern library (2.2x faster). Loading screen times reduced by at least 13%
|
||||
- **MPQ File Cache** - caches archive file lookups so repeat file opens skip the archive chain walk. Saving 50-160ms every 15 seconds during heavy gameplay
|
||||
- **Timer Calibration** - recalibrates the OS performance counter for accurate animation timing. Ported from [VanillaFixes](https://github.com/hannesmann/vanillafixes)
|
||||
|
||||
Most noticeable in cities, raids, and during zone transitions.

### Version Query API
|
||||
|
||||
WeirdUtils registers a Lua global table and query function for addon developers to detect which modules are loaded and their versions. Available from the login screen onward.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `GetWeirdUtilsVersion()`
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the `WeirdUtils` table containing all enabled modules and their version strings:
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
local modules = GetWeirdUtilsVersion()
|
||||
for name, version in pairs(modules) do
|
||||
print(name .. " v" .. version)
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### `GetWeirdUtilsVersion("modulename")`
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the version string for a specific module, or `nil` if not loaded:
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
if GetWeirdUtilsVersion("minimapicons") then
|
||||
-- Minimap Icons is available
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
local ver = GetWeirdUtilsVersion("weirdperformance") -- "1.0" or nil
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `WeirdUtils` table is additive - if multiple independent DLLs are loaded (e.g. `minimapicons.dll` and `clickthrough.dll` separately), each adds its own modules to the shared table.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Module Mutexes
|
||||
|
||||
Each module also holds a named mutex while active: `Local\WeirdUtils_<name>_<PID>` (e.g. `Local\WeirdUtils_transmogfix_12345`). The exception is transmogfix, which uses `Local\TransmogCoalesceHook_<PID>` for legacy reasons.
|
||||
|
||||
If you see the mutex, the module is loaded - and can use the Runtime Module Control API to disable it. If you don't see it, the module isn't active and you're free to hook those functions yourself.
