Ace2

Version: 2.0.1094

by: Kaelten [More]

Current Version: 2.0.1094

Ace2 has been discontinued and will only be receiving minimal maintenance in favor of Ace3

Ace2 is an embeddable framework for rapid mod development.

Features:

100% embeddable. An Ace2 addon should never require Ace2 as a dependency.
Provides the following modules:
- Ace00 - Provides a fully functional object oriented framework. - Documentation
- AceLibrary - A global versioning library to handle other library instances, upgrading, and access. - Documentation
- AceEvent - A mixin to allow for centralized event handling. Also allows for custom psudo-events. - Documentation
- AceHook - A mixin to allow for safe hooking of functions, methods, and scripts. - Documentation
- AceDB - A mixin to allow for fast, clean, and feature filled saved variable access along with customizable profiles. - Documentation
- AceDebug - A mixin to allow for simple debugging capabilities. - Documentation
- AceLocale - A localization library for addons to use to handle proper localization and internationalization. - Documentation
- AceConsole - A mixin to allow for chatline input/output capabilities. - Documentation
- AceAddon - A basis for addons to use that can accept mixins and handles initialization events. - Documentation
- AceModuleCore - A mixin to provide a simple modularization framework. - Documentation

A Couple of Notes:

Pretty much this file is for developers to use. End users can run it if they wish. However by itself it doesn't do much.
Ace2 will not work as a dependency for Ace 1.x based addons, however they can work side by side very well.

One is a general LUA error from sct_options, the other is stemming from a lib folder called ParserLib, and it also could be another LUA error. I think my first post was misleading, I have also been using the newer version of SCT that was the Ace2 reworked version that came out at the end of August, and it hasn't had any problems. Since I installed the BigWigs mod though, the general LUA error from the sct_options comes up upon logging in to the game, and the ParserLib error comes up when I load the SCT user interface menu, which appears totally devoid of names and text and the menu itself looks wrong (missing buttons, options, etc). I'm not really technically-minded enough in the scripting language of mods to give any other details. Last edited by Bretac : 10-08-06 at 06:52 PM.

I think its a compatability error between the mods using different versions of Ace2. I downloaded Ace2 itself to see if it resolves the problem, but it didn't. Do I have to wait for a newer version of Ace2, or is this a problem on the part of the addons themselves that I should contact their authors about?

your issues are pretty vague.....Dont expect anyone to be able to help you unless you post more information... Your issues could be stemming from just about anything. There is no reason to download ace2, the libraries are all embedded. Scrolling combat test was never ace2 untill recently. there fore the sct you used for past year is a different dog then the recent one. Again untill you provide what your issues are noboby can provide anything other then a mere guess on what is going wrong.

aastarius An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 35 File comments: 60 Uploads: 0	Embedding Only problem here is that if an addon is written for a particular "version" of Ace2 and another addon comes complete with a later (Ace2) version, there is a possibility that the earlier one becomes "broken". This has the potential to get messy methinks.

Re: A question about embedding

I have question about embedding - i am wondering about situation i have more Ace2 addons. In such case, every addon is having its part of Ace2 embedded and i am ending up with many embedded Ace2 pieces. How this is working? Does it increase memory usage? Do they get used only once? What if one add-on is using older Ace2 version than others? Can those embedded pieces be removed and use one "central" Ace2?

In short, if a library loads and sees another version of itself already loaded, it checks to see which is the most up to date version of the library. The most recent version is kept, and the other is discarded. Memory is returned to the system at the next garbage collection.

Kaelten Jack's raging bile duct Forum posts: 782 File comments: 48 Uploads: 12	someone pointed out to me that my comment might be a little confusing. Ace2 isn't needed as a dependency because the required files are embedded libraries within the individual addons as needed. As a side note, if you use an addon like warmup that shows on load memory usage the numbers there may be deciving. For example it shows the new OneBag as having ~780kb memory usage but through testing I've seen it only actually uses ~350kb of memory. That can be expected of many of the ace2 addons. __________________ WowAce.com & CurseForge.com Adminstrator Developer of Ace3, OneBag3, and many other addons and libraries Project lead and Mac developer for the Curse Client Anyone that needs what they want And doesn't want what they need I want nothing to do with
