Grid   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Grid is a modular, lightweight and screen-estate saving grid of party/raid unit frames written by Pastamancer and Maia. Optional modules can be assigned to up to 7 possible indicators: each corner, a border center text and center icon - to highlight specific units (and if you prefer to only show units in range, this is posible too). Grid comes with a bunch of modules (aggro indicator, incoming heals, auras (debuff types, shield, renew, rejuv, mortal strike,...), mana, health deficit,...), but it's easy to add your own modules (see the developer API).

more information is available at:

If you downloaded Grid from wowace.com/files or the wowace svn, please don't post here. The wowinterface releases are actually tested. Anything from wowace.com is bleeding-edge and may or may not work.

1.30000.2009011501

- - Vehicles in battlegrounds and raids are displayed as pets.

1.30000.2008112401
- Added esMX locale.
- Updated RosterLib to teach it about vehicles.
- No longer registers '/gr' as a slash command. Use '/grid' instead which has always worked.

can you in any way separate or even just get rid of the healing of the pet when you heal their grid box?

Would be awesome if you could make a Configuration mode to Grid.

Think everyone wants this.

I noticed an old issue with Grid is happening again.

When I cast prayer of healing on another group, grid still shows the incoming heals coming to my group.

Hi!

First of all I'd like to say how great I think Grid is: "Grid is really awesome!"

And I have a question about Grid, is it possible to "outline" and/or "thick outline" the text shown in Grid (eg.: name, health deficit)?

Thanks for your help.

Greetings
Borrie

Health Deficit Color

im having a small issue - maybe im doing something wrong but here goes:
i cant seem to change the Health Deficit Color for grid. it stays pitch black no matter what i try to do.
i go to Status>Health>Health Deficit and its enabled. i want it to be a light gray color but it doesnt change despite me messing with the options.

anyone have any ideas? am i being a blonde and missing something, perhasp in another setting?

Was hoping Pastamancer could look into this issue:

If one gets disconnected during an encounter in a raid, and you log back in, the grid frames are hidden and won't show again until you are out of combat.

This is a major problem for a healer since of course I can't see anyone and have to pull the default frames onto my screen real quickly.

Anyone know a workaround for this?

Not sure if its been answered before, spent about 30 min reading replies and didnt see anything, so...

Is there a way to make grid expand its frames downwards? As in group one appears, then group 2 below, then group 3 below that, etc?

Border/Background issue

So everytime I go to reload my ui, or relog my druid, my druid's grid settings for the border and background always reset to their default setting even though I have them set at 0% opacity for both when I set them up.

Is this a bug or is anyone else running into this problem? It's really annoying and I hate having to config my grid EVERYTIME I log on or reload my UI.

Grid and Prayer of Healing

very happy with grid + clique + gridcustomlayouts. if any Grid users havent tried Warbaby's GridCustomLayouts, i urge you to try it. takes a bit of fiddling with but its works wonders if youre not happy with the limited layout options that come with Grid alone. http://www.wowace.com/projects/gridcustomlayouts/

But im here to post a bug report that im pretty sure has been discovered but i just wanted to make sure: as a priest, when i cast a group heal such as Prayer of Healing, grid's "incoming healing" indicator mistakenly highlights the wrong group. Im sure this has something to do wiht the recent changes to Prayer of Healing that has made it group-targeting rather than group-of-the-priest targeting.

Thanks for your work.

Focus Frames?

How does Grid handle focus frames? So far I can't figure out how to activate this frame?
