Hi, I'm Aleksander — Suprematist

I work on making World of Warcraft 3.3.5a run properly. Engine-level optimization, Lua runtime work, and addons that fix things the client got wrong sixteen years ago.

Everything here targets WotLK 3.3.5a (build 12340) and is MIT licensed.

Main projects

Project What it does
wow_optimize  ·  C++ Engine-level optimization DLL. Replaces the allocator, adds Lua VM and file I/O fast paths, fixes the 16-year combat log bug, and ships a frame-time benchmark so you can check any of it yourself.
LuaBoost  ·  Lua Addon-side companion. Garbage collection control, loading-screen event suppression, and shared APIs for addon authors.

The two are designed to work together — the DLL handles the engine, LuaBoost handles what runs on top of it.

Addons

Project What it does
WA_SafeGuard  ·  Lua Backs up WeakAuras so a forced disconnect cannot wipe your auras.
DefileAlert  ·  Lua Calls out the Defile target on Lich King the same frame the server packet arrives.

How I work on this

Optimizations get removed when they turn out not to help. Several features shipped on the assumption that skipping an engine call only skips work, and each was wrong about what the call did — so they are gone, and the release notes say why. The frame-time benchmark exists because for a long time there was no way to tell.

Bug reports with a log attached are the most useful thing anyone sends me.
