Ace3 for Turtle WoW: Unleash Your Addon Potential with Our Upgraded Framework!
Hello Turtle WoW Community!

We’re thrilled to announce a game-changing update for addon developers: our customized Ace3 framework for Turtle WoW (GitHub: ace3-for-turtle-wow) is now better than ever, packed with new features and seamless integration with Turtle WoW’s unique API! Whether you’re crafting quest helpers, UI enhancements, or diving into server-specific features like the lottery system, Ace3 is your ultimate toolkit to bring your ideas to life.


What’s New in Ace3 for Turtle WoW?





Turtle WoW API Wrappers: Say hello to AceTurtleAPI-3.0, simplifying calls like GetZoneText(), UnitHealth(), and more with clean, Ace3-style methods. Less code, more impact!



Enhanced UI Support: AceGUI-3.0 now integrates with Turtle WoW’s UI functions (e.g., ToggleDropDownMenu()), ready for your custom interfaces (testing feedback welcome!).



Performance Boost: Optimized for Lua 5.0, with localized variables and disabled debug flags for a smoother experience.



Better Debugging: Improved error handling in AceAddon-3.0 to help you squash bugs faster.

Killer81, thank you so so much for this. I have been waiting for something like this to come our way! I'm going to test this week and will hopefully have some feedback shortly!

MVP!

One followup to this, are there any other dependencies here? I still receive the "unexcpected symbol near `...'" errors.

Hi there! I'd like to point out that there's already an adapted version of the Ace3 framework for Vanilla WoW available at: https://github.com/laytya/Ace3v
Instead of creating a new solution from scratch, perhaps it would be worth considering improving and expanding this existing version? This approach could:

- Save development time
- Build upon the work already done to adapt it for the vanilla client
- Unite community efforts to improve one solution instead of fragmenting development

If there are specific issues or missing functionality in this version, they could be addressed through contributions to the existing repository or by forking it with subsequent improvements.

What are your thoughts on this approach?

The laytya version does work on Turtle WoW servers. There are addons that successfully use it, such as AI_VoiceOver and MasterTradeSkills.
