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.

- range check for status modules is disabled by default

- 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.

I, as well, would like to see a fix for the blue hand when a cast attempt is done on someone who is not in LoS... Or at least a way to tell that they are "in range" but out of LoS so I am not wasting my time trying to cast spells on those folks.
But other than that - it's a GREAT addon, and I wish I had started using it a long long time ago.
I've Divine Favor bound to mouse button 5 (side button off the mouse) and whenever I mouseover someone in raid (@ grid) nothing happens when I press Mouse5. When I move mouse away from gridframe I pop Divine Favor as it should.
I've tested to turn off ALL addons except Grid and it's still the same.
i will try again to tell what i need, maybe i will get answer and also i hope i will get understanded better
please..
1. make maximum frame width bigger then 100 (i may use even 250 in party)
2. make it possible to arrange units on 2 lines, or add maximum units per line
3. please make a posibility to chose the way the grids are affected on mouse-over, because the curent mouse over modification make it harder to see the health of the player bar that need a heal.
4. i would like the square of the debufs to be added one for every debuff.
5. make it possible to chose to not display the debufs that are short duration, unharmful, or uncurable.
6. i would love a feature to chose between profiles of arranging units, that has to include frame width/ heigth, position of the entire grid of players, and the arrange rule.
7. and finaly, the problem that i came for on this forum:
when i click to cast with clique adon on a party frame that is out of range, i get the gray hand instead of the spell canceled. i must say that this behaviour is the same as with the default party frames, but i would really like to get the behaviour with the spell canceled instead of the normal wow behaviour.
can someone help pls with the click to cast problem?
i want to disable the "blue hand" cursor problem in the game, when trying to cast a spell on a target that is not reachable.
tryed to talk with the guy from clique addon, he answered but as it seems the type of grid maybe should have a different functionality
hi there,
please tell me a solution to the following problem
i use grid + clique
when i have a player out of range, i get a gray highlighted cursor and have to click on "air" to be able to heal again, or just click one time on a bar and after that it comes back to normal being able to heal again.
like this i loose 1 click every time i click first on an out of range target
please come with a solution to this
also 3 more things that i would like to benefit from
1. please make it possible to change the way the mouse over a frame affects that frame, as because it affects the black part of the frame (when the frame player has low life) and that makes impossible to see how much healing i am going to do to him.
2. please do something about storing profiles with arranging the units in 5 /10/25 people group, and make it easy to access.
- make it possible to arrange my units with 3 columns and 8 lines if i want that in my raid group.
3. please alow a larger size for the width of the bars, as i want to use this addon together with clique, and i want to see as much health bar as possible.
4. Please make it possible to see multiple debuffs dots in case that one unit has more debufs on him
also please alow a posibility to chose not to display non harmful debufs, the debufs that cannot be dispelled and also the debufs that have a verry low time duration.
thx alot
great addon
very nice addon, hope at least to fix the clicking to heal problem
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.

Originally posted by Zeph I have a dream that one day, Grid will have the option that you could turn on and off to only show the raid window on mouse over and hide on mouse off. This would be great for someone like myself who shoots video's of internet monsters!
to much time
