Well, I get two errors with SCT when I log in. 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.
Originally posted by Bretac I'm having an issue with two seperate mods that were created using Ace2. The first I've been using most of this year, Scrolling Combat/Damage Text. The second, however, is more recent; BigWigs Bossmods. My guild and raiding alliance are now requiring it, but it's causing some bad errors with SCT.
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.

AceLibrary includes a versioning system to keep this from happening. Once we exit the beta stage great pains will be taken to keep things backwards compatabile.
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.
Originally posted by ILT 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.

Can you make a Guide on how to Add Ace2 In to an add on (one a 14 year old can understand ) couldnt post it on Forum That you linked think its bugged or something
Wanted to give a heads up that Ace2 bug tracking and feature requests are now done externally at our own site using some software more geared at group projects.
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.
