ACE
CArmored Combat Extended API — the ACE additions on top of ACF, covering crew, sustainability, networking, and gameplay systems. Includes `ACE.*` methods and `ACE_*` globals.
ACFM
S**Legacy.** The older ACF Missiles (`ACFM`) helpers. Largely deprecated — prefer the missile functionality exposed through `ACE`/`ACF`. Kept for reference.
E2
S**Expression 2** bindings ACE registers for Wiremod's E2 chips. Called from E2 code as `Entity:acfName()` etc.; these run server-side.
Starfall
SThe **Starfall** `acf` library and entity methods ACE registers for the Starfall processor. Accessed in Starfall as `acf.getGunSpecs(...)` and `Entity:acfName()`.
ACF
SCore Armored Combat Framework API — guns, ammo, armor, and the damage model. Includes both the `ACF.*` table methods and the classic `ACF_*` global functions.
_G (Global)
SGlobal functions that are not part of any namespace
