- About Ace2 / Ace
Ace2 is a collection of libraries intended to: improve modularity, improve performance, and simplify the addon and library creation process.
Note: If you are not an addon developer, chances are you do not need to download this - any Ace2-based addon should come with the appropriate libraries already included.

Xel saidHey just read on another forum that some others were having the same problem as I was and found out the reason was SpamMeNot.

Xel saidI use Ace2 mods and for some reason if I try to replace an enchant or armor kit on an item I get a message that says the action has been blocked and only the Blizzard UI can do it, then it makes me disable all Ace2 mods before it will work. I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem and if anyone knows how to fix it so I don't have to disable my mods every time just to do it. Thanks

Kaelten saidI will add to Hammer's statement by saying that there are situations in which you may want to use ace2 as an end user. These are documented on ace's website and are meant for advanced users that don't mind learning a little about how the addons work, and spending time to do more indepth management of their addons.

JMHammer saidREPEAT REPEAT REPEAT
As mentioned in the description and as I tried to explain earlier: "Note: If you are not an addon developer, chances are you do not need to download this - any Ace2-based addon should come with the appropriate libraries already included."
If you are just USING addons, you do NOT need to download Ace2. Ace2 is embedded within any addons which use it. Only addon AUTHORS need to download "naked" Ace2.
If you are using an addon which requires Ace (v1), then update to version 1.4.1 – it is the most recent. There aren't many addons around anymore, that work with the current WoW patch, that use Ace (v1). But it doesn't hurt to have it in your addons folder as it absorbs no system resources if it's not used by an addon.

And how do we go about doing this? How about someone update Pally Power and bundle all the things ACE needs, with it...sure would make our lives easier....for those that have no idea on how to code .lua that is...like myself.

Do I need a new up to date ACE mod? I have 1.4.1

Pitzer saidCan u make so none of this Addon shows on any other character thats not a Paladin?
I play my rogue alot as well..and Ido not need the little red/green button showing up, I do not need to have any part of this mod available at all on any other character besides my paladin.
This mod should not be active in any way when any other character but a paladin is played.

JMHammer saidTrippet, and all those asking for Ace2 to be posted on Curse-
Addons which use Ace (v1) call/are dependent on Ace libraries, which must be in your Interface-->Addons folder as a separate addon.
Addons which use Ace2 have all the Ace2 data contained in their own files, so there is no Ace2 folder inside your Interface-->Addons folder. Therefore, there is not Ace2 update to be posted on Curse or other sites. Instead, each individual author must update his addon with Ace2 components.
