SpellQueueOptimizer (fork)

Automatically optimizes the Spell Queue Window (SQW) in World of Warcraft from your latency and specialization, with a settings panel (/sqo ui).

Reference — original addon

This project is based on SpellQueueOptimizer by Maximilian Anton Grimm (grimmcreative.com, grimm@grimmcreative.com).

• Original author & idea: upstream SpellQueueOptimizer on CurseForge.
• This fork (tahae): Midnight / 12.x Interface tags, folder/toc naming, in-game UI (/sqo ui), and README/CurseForge text.

If you use or publish this fork, keep the original author credited (see also ## X-Credits in the .toc).

Features

• Computes a suggested SQW from home/world latency and spec (channel / proc / burst style buckets).
• Updates on login, spec change, zone/instance change, and on a timer (default 5 minutes).
• Optional fixed override (ms) or full auto mode.
• Graphical settings: /sqo ui — live stats, toggles, interval, override, Save & apply, Recalculate now, Clear override.

Installation

1. Download the release zip or copy this repo folder.
2. Put the TSpellQueueOptimizer folder in:
   World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\
3. Ensure the folder contains TSpellQueueOptimizer.toc (name must match the folder).
4. In game: Esc → AddOns → enable SpellQueueOptimizer → /reload if needed.

Packaging the zip for upload

3. Set Supported game version to Retail and the current Midnight / 12.x patch if prompted.
