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).
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.

Changelog:
r66550
- Improved incoming heal support via LibHealComm-3.0.
- Improved range checking now allows for multiple ranges to be checked.
r60382
- Added pet support (Sometimes pet frames will not have any information and will target an unknown unit. There's nothing we can do about it.)
- Updated to LibBanzai-2.0
- Misc bugfixes.
r50615
- Updated for 2.2
- Added voice chat status module from Halgrimm.
r24388
- Updated for 2.0.3
- Remove center text 2 indicator from the menu if it's disabled.
- Updated to Roster-2.1 and Banzai-1.1. This will break any Grid addons that depended on Roster-2.0 and Banzai-1.0! It also improves performance, so it's worth it.
- Use CastCommLib for communicating incoming heals.
- Added status for Feign Death.
- Layout now reloads when switching between solo/party/raid/battleground. This should fix raid groups not showing up occasionally.
- Made range module more friendly to addon developers.
- Added UTF-8 support. GridFrame counts characters properly when truncating names now.
- Increased maximum text length to 20.
- Health updates should be more responsive.
- Use the right addon communication channel in battlegrounds.
- Improved group placement, groups shouldn't end up stacked ontop of each other anymore.
r19919
- SpecialEvents-Auras got a major overhaul.
- update advanced frame options on profile change
- update Grid.inCombat on P_E_W.
- remove status cache for units leaving the raid/party
- added option to disable "Center Text 2" indicator (defaults to disabled for that classic Grid look).
- status modules ignore pets (perviously there could be confusion if a pet and a player had the same name).
- allow click-through of layout background when layout position is locked.
r18940
- Removed 1.12 compatibility code. Don't install this until after 2.0 is released!
- Added advanced frame options: corner size, font size, frame height, frame width, icon size, orientation.
- Added second text indicator.
- Tries harder to find the right texture for buffs/debuffs.
- Indicator list is now part of the frame class.
- Fixed bug where auras on invalid units were not being ignored.
- Fixed bug where range check would attempt to use spells that didn't have a range on the tooltip.
- Ignore statuses that can't be displayed on the chosen indicator. Turn on debugging for GridFrame to see ignored statuses.
r17574
- Ignore attempts to ad a (de)buff that already has settings.
- Added class filtering for auras.
- "show party in raid" now off by default.
- range check for status modules is disabled by default
- Moved text length option from GridStatusName to GridFrame.
- Cleaned-up/reorganized config menus.
- Added advanced layout options for layout and group anchors.
- Range for debuffs is 28 so 1.12 will use CheckInteractDistance()
- Don't use AceComm or Compost in 2.0
- Improved lua51/WoW 2.0 check.
- Set icon alpha only if we have a texture too.
r16685
- Why was 100 the max value for frame spacing? I do not know. 25 is a much better max value for it.
- Try harder to hide the center icon indicator properly.
- Check for loss of debuff type when a named debuff is lost.
- Added GridRange, a TBC/1.12 range checking module.
- GridFrame and GridStatusRange now use GridRange instead of ProximityLib.
- Updated deDE locale (thanks kaybe)
- Status modules now check their settings for an icon where appropriate.

- Handle units going offline better. (thanks eternally777)
- Better defaults for alert_offline status.
- Reset bar color when resetting bar indicator.

I would just like to express my great gratitude to the author of this AddOn - this is a beautiful piece of work - I really can't say enough positive things about it... It's worked flawlessly for me since I installed it, and together with Clique it's just Pure magick. Thanks a million, and please keep up the good work! :-)
* Grid version (60898) downloaded from wowinterface.com 05/04/2008
* WoW version (2.4.1)
* Problem:
Status colors always show in the "unknown unit" color. No class colors show at all. I downloaded twice just to be sure.
"Use class color" is checked in all the options boxes. When I change the color for "unknown unit" the colors for text, etc. also change.
This is my first time using Grid, and I haven't done anything except load it. There are no error messages ... I have lua error reporting on ... just the units all seem to be "unknown".
-------------------
Deleted the WTF files and reinstalled Grid and the problem vanished. Don't know why. So it goes.
I have a simple problem that grid is just not showing up on the clique 'frames' box, I have had a response from the author of clique stating this is a grid problem so here I am, I have the latest versions so would really love to know a solution to this and thanks in advance for any help.
Hi, hope this hasnt been asked here before , but can be Misdirection added to tist of buffs that can be shown in the grid , so you can put it into bottom right corner or so ? Or can i add a buff of my own ? like in xraidstatus ?
i know there is SMD that is great for MD but i'd like to have it on my grid instead of using another addon :P
Originally posted by Moldana first of all I love Grid, but is there a Configuration-mode ? i must re-place the grid ( I make a new Interface ), but I can not do this in a Raid to much time
and in BG ... no not really
so can I show the complete Frame ( 25er Raid) so I can move it into the right position ??
I'am sorry about my Bad english....
Just join AV, config Grid, then /afk out... takes no more then the time you want to config.

Need some really smart people to help me for a minute.
We are on Archimonde i Hyjal atm. and i cant see on my grid when people get
the fire-debuff (can get feared into them) it is a NON dispelleable but would be really nice to know as healer who has the debuff all the time so we can heal/HoT them.
my huntermate has a pet named equal to his name so: sometimes grid shows the hp of the pet in the bar in my grid, sometimes it change back to the players hp.
its bugged because of the duplicate name of the player and the pet.
my unitframes doenst bug out so i think its a problem with my grid
I love Grid. In fact, I pretty much turn off all the party frames now and just use Grid. One thing I would love is to know if there is a way to have a Grid box appear with my current selected target. Maybe even another box with my focus target too.
Mostly, this is also due to the fact I use Clique a lot with Grid. So when I target someone not in my party or raid, I would love to be able to buff them, heal them, etc.. without jumping to my casting bar (which remains mostly hidden thanks to Grid/Clique).
Hi I have downloaded the grid and I used it and I loved it. Yes I used it but I want to use it again. I lost the program becaus I clicked on the icon and selected enable (on the icon that is on the ring together with zoom in, zoom out, map, ...) so now it is gone and i don't know how to get it back could anybody pleas help me to get it back.
to much time
