Grid  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 8.0.1.1
by: Phanx [More]

Grid has been continued as Plexus by Doadin. Use that instead; Grid has not been updated since 2018 and will not be updated in the future.

Grid is a compact and highly configurable party/raid unit frame addon.
The compact grid of unit frames lets you select a group member quickly, while keeping a good overview of the whole group. It shows as much information as possible without overloading you. It allows you to customize what information you see, and how you see it. It works in both party and raid groups, and supports pets and vehicles.

Want more features? The Grid core tries to include only features which are generally useful for all classes and roles, but makes it easy to add new features with a simple plugin API for developers. Over 75 third-party plugins are already available!

Type “/grid” for options, or right-click the minimap button, DataBroker launcher, or Grid frame tab.

Language Support
Grid is compatible with all World of Warcraft localizations. It is currently translated into English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Português, Русский, 한국어, 简体中文, and 繁體中文.

To add or update translations for any language, enter them on the WowAce project page. New and updated translations will be automatically included in the next version of Grid!

HINT: The WowAce interface for adding translations is quite cumbersome. To make the process easier, you can use the Export function on WowAce, copy the exported data into your text editor, fill in your translations, and then paste them back into WowAce using the Import function.
Credits
Grid was originally conceived and written by Maia and Pastamancer in late 2006. Phanx has been the primary developer since late 2009. Jerry wrote the original pet support code. Mikk designed the icon. jlam added some advanced options for auras. Greltok has helped a lot with bugfixing. Finally, lots of people have contributed translations!

Can you provide a screenshot? I'm not really sure what you mean by this.

Also not sure what you mean by "cluster system". Can you be more specific?

Hello again Phanx! I keep forgetting you're the author of Grid along with all of your other awesome addons!

I have never used Grid for healing... I've used Vuhdo and Grid 2, so I am wondering if I would need many plugins to go with Grid? I play an hpal, I'd like to watch the typical pally buffs (hands, EF, beacon) and forbearance on my frames, and I also want to see debuffs I can cure and role icons. Does this all come standard with Grid? Are there any plugins I'd need to grab?

I'm just a little worn out by searching for healing addons... needing some help and advice!

If you want to see role icons, you'll need the GridStatusDungeonRole plugin. All the rest of the things you listed are included in Grid itself. Beacon of Light is defined by default, and you can add the others by typing their names in the Auras options panel.

I'd suggest just using Grid for a while, and only add more plugins for specific things you noticed were missing for your playstyle. I never needed any other plugins during my ~6 years healing on my shaman, though I did write a plugin back in TBC to combine all of the healing reduction debuffs into one status so I could save time on typing them all in.

Also, if you use click-casting (eg. shift-click on a player's frame to cast Flash of Light on them) you'll want to install Clique. It's not specifically a Grid plugin, but will add click-casting to all the unit frames in your UI, including Grid.

I love clique, right now I use it to utilize my mouse and more keybinds. I actually heal with mouseover macros, but I've considered click casting. Might have to try it soon!

Anyway. Thank you so much for the reply as always Phanx, I appreciate it. While looking for options, yours was the most helpful. I will be installin Grid today along with that plugin for role icons. I look forward to using it!

Again thank you so much!

One question I forgot to ask - does Grid handle the Malkorok fight for healers? I'm talking about the three shield levels that show up on the standard frames. Do I add those myself or is there a plugin that works for it?

I've been inside a raid instance maybe 10 times since WotLK, so I can't speak from experience on that, but if the three shield levels are shown as buffs or debuffs, and have unique names, then you can just type them in as new aura statuses in Grid. If they aren't shown as (de)buffs, or they don't have unique names, or you prefer a more detailed view, you can use the GridStatusAncientBarrier plugin.

Hi,

For some reason my frame textures are limited to Blizzard's textures only, textures like Armory, etc is lost.

Textures are provided by third-party addons like SharedMedia. Some other addons (*cough*Skada*cough*) waste disk space and bandwidth by including 10 MB of texture files; Grid does not do this, and only provides the Gradient texture. If you had some other textures available before, and they're gone, it's probably because you removed whichever addon was providing them. Re-enable or re-install any addons you recently disabled or uninstalled, or install a dedicated texture package like SharedMedia.

Hi

since 6.0 patch my grid doesn't show at all. no frames, no minimap icon, /grid says "Type '/help' for a listing of a few commands."
Load out of date AddOns is checked.

I have the addon Broker:CPU which shows cpu usage of addons. And it shows Grid.

Anyone any Idea?

ragylav, have you ticked Load Out of Date Addons in the character select screen? I had that problem earlier too. I use Addon Control Panel which showed the same as your Addon Broker, but as I hadn't ticked the Load Out of Date box it just wouldn't show up. Hope this helps!

There have been two tickets already opened in past 24 hours in Grid's ticket tracker at its home on WowAce. On one Phanx has replied that there will be an update shortly.

http://www.wowace.com/addons/grid/tickets/

And the post underneath Phanx's on ticket #728 gives a stopgap workaround for the error that is preventing GridStatusAuras from loading.

Version 6.0.2.1674
  • Updated for WoW 6.0
  • Updated Clique support
  • Added status modules for Group Leader, Raid Assistant, Master Looter, and Raid Icon
  • [API] GridStatus now calls :UpdateAllUnits (if it exists) on status modules when resetting them.
  • [API] There is now an API for indicators. See the project page for details.

Still to do for WOD:
  • Add a Role status
  • Add a By Role layout
  • Replace "N-Player Raid" options with a single "Raid" option
  • Convert included By Class, By Group, and By Role layouts to automatically adjust their size to best suit the current raid
