Addon Corner: Ampere
Now that 3.0 is almost here, it’s time to start this new project here, introducing addons.
I am starting with one of my favorite addons that will be incredibly useful tomorrow, when it comes to getting all the other addons to work: Ampere. Basically, what it does is that in the default Interface menu while in-game you will be able to access the Addons menu that you usually only have available at the Character Screen. Without having to log off, you can disable addons, enable them, get Load on Demand addons loaded, and then reload the UI to get all the changes. Back in the day when one of my addons broke I would have to log off a million times, Ampere fixes that issue for me.
There’s a similar addon called ACP, but I am a Tekkub fangirl, and he writes addons that are teeny-tiny, integrate seamlessly, don’t need hours to set up and are frequently updated.
As special, extra feature I am tossing you this link, as overview which addons should work and which won’t. Good luck! I wish I had gotten a chance at trying the latest Autobar build, but the PTR is down already. It’s coming, it’s really happening!

Wow! Finally an add-on I might actually use! Perfect for turning QuestHelper and equally memory hogging style addons off for raiding.

It’s pretty awesome. And look at the size of this thing, 9 kb. You’re still my tanking hero, Vene, but Tekubs’s my addon hero.

Oh you are such a goddess! Thank you so much for both of these links.

You’re very welcome! And the goddess part goes right back to you, keep the shaman fire burning. My baby elemental shaman is almost 69!

So what do I type to get it to do something? So far all I have figured out is “/rl” reloads the UI, but I don’t know how to do any of it’s other magic (like bring up a config dialog, or anything!)

Hit Esc, then click on the Interface button. Click on the Addons tab. Click on Ampere. There it will list all of your addons and you can disable, enable, load on demand.
