Features & How to Use

View Performance Logs:

• The addon logs various events like addon load times, garbage collection, and zone changes. It helps diagnose startup performance.

Event Monitoring:

• The addon automatically tracks many WoW events, including UI actions, combat, chat, and more, for performance analysis.

Performance Alerts:

• When garbage collection or other performance thresholds are exceeded, messages are displayed in the output frame.

Colors for Performance Thresholds:  

• Green: Good performance
• Yellow: Warning levels
• Orange/Red: Poor performance

Threshold Settings:

• Adjust timethresh, timethresh2, timethresh3, memthresh, memthresh2, memthresh3 in the Lua file for sensitivity.

How It Works

• Tracks time between load events and zone changes.
• Logs addon load durations and memory usage.
• Detects garbage collection and displays GC-related events.
• Outputs messages to the chat frame and a dedicated output window.

Forcing Warmup to load first

Obviously, you want Warmup to load first. This is the reason the folder is named !!Warmup and not just Warmup. The problem is that the !! doesn't ensure it'll load first for everyone. If you're one of the few who's Warmup won't load first, here's what you do:

1. Launch WoW, log in
2. Open your warmup frame, /wu
3. Scroll to the very top, you should have a whiney message that some addon loaded before Warmup (probably more than one)
4. Open up <WoW Path>\Interface\Addons\<That first addon> on your hard drive
5. Find the file <That first addon>.toc, open it in a text editor
6. Add this line: ## OptionalDeps: !!Warmup If an "OptionalDeps" line exists, just append , !!Warmup to it
7. Exit the game completely and re-login, Warmup should load first
