Grid

Version: 4.3.2.1458

by: Phanx, Greltok, Pastamancer

Grid is a compact and highly configurable party/raid unit frame addon.

The compact grid of units lets you select a group member quickly, while retaining a good overview of the whole group. It displays as much information as possible without overloading the user. It allows you to customize what information you see, and how that information is displayed.

Grid includes status modules for health, mana, incoming heals, aggro/threat, buffs and debuffs, and range. It supports pets and vehicles. Each unit's frame is a health bar, with additional statuses overlaid on top. Information can be displayed using the center text, the center icon, the frame border, the frame opacity, or the colored square in each of the four corners.

Finally, Grid is written in a modular fashion that makes it easy for developers to add new status modules, new display indicators, or even completely new features.

If you downloaded Grid from wowace.com, or through the Curse Client, please do not post here. The WoWInterface releases are actually tested. Anything from wowace.com is bleeding-edge and may or may not work.

Usage

Options are available from the minimap button or DataBroker launcher, or from the command line by typing /grid.

There is also a small User's Guide which you may find helpful, as well as a forum thread on WowAce for general discussion.

How to report a bug in Grid

Before reporting a bug, please check:

Double-check that you have the latest version of Grid from wowinterface.com or curse.com.
See if the problem still happens when you disable all addons, including Grid plugins, and log in with only Grid enabled.
Enable Lua error display under Interface Options > Help, or install a bug-catching addon like BugSack.

Then, submit a new ticket in the WowAce bug tracker. Be sure to fill out all of the information requested in the ticket template!

Design Overview

Grid is based on the concept of statuses and indicators. A status is a piece of information, such as a unit's health. An indicator is a part of the unit frame that can display information, such as the health bar.

More than one status can be assigned to one indicator, and one status can be assigned to more than one indicator. This is where the priority system comes into play. Each status is assigned a priority level. Each indicator will show the highest-priority status active at any given time.

For example: The Power Word: Shield and Weakened Soul statuses show you when those auras (buffs or debuffs) are active on a particular unit. If you assign both statuses to the Bottom Left Corner indicator, and give them priority levels of 90 and 80, respectively, then when you cast Power Word: Shield on a unit, you will only see the Power Word: Shield status, until the shield is absorbed or expires, at which time you will then see the Weakened Soul status until it ends.

4.3.2.1458

Added an option to hide aura statuses on pets/vehicles (ticket #572)
Added options for showing duration and/or stack count using the status color and/or text (ticket #421, patch provided by Jlam).
Removed the "Show duration for center cooldown" option. If you do not wish to see aura durations, disable the cooldown animation on the center icon on the Frame options tab.
Added checks for some division by zero errors in 4.3
Added Brazilian Portuguese localization

4.2.0.1442

Incremented TOC version number for WoW 4.2

4.1.0.1441

When typing in the "Add new buff/debuff" option fields, an auto-complete dropdown will appear with matching spell names.
Range checking has been simplified, and now uses the standard Blizzard range functions. If you preferred the old range checking based on spell ranges, use the GridStatusMultiRange plugin.
Fixed several issues with frame positioning.
Fixed the layout border color option.
(Plugin API) Added support for texture coordinates for status textures.
(Plugin API) Improved support for dynamic status colors.

1.40000.1403

Upgraded from beta status
Updated embedded libraries

1.40000.1400-beta

This is a beta release.
The options frame layout has been improved. Note that some plugins (such as those that add new indicators) may cause the options layout to break to some degree until they are updated.
Fixed a bug causing frames and groups to be misaligned (Ticket #447).
Buffs with "Show mine" selected will no longer display for units out of visible range (Ticket #438).
Buffs with "Show when missing" selected will now correctly display on icon indicators (Ticket #412).
Third-party modules will now be correctly included in the Debug menu.
Added an option to toggle the drop shadow effect on the center text indicators.
Localizations have been updated.

1.40000.1370

Grid no longer fails to update when Clique is enabled.
Raid pets are now correctly displayed without gaps in the layout.
Grid now correctly detects when players disconnect or reconnect.
A minimum value option has been added to the Incoming Heals status. Use it to filter out small heals, such as HoT ticks.
This release was manually zipped and uploaded, as the automated WowAce packager is currently having major problems with embedded libraries.

r1361-alpha

Pets other than your own should now be displayed.

r1360-alpha

Updated for Patch 4.0.1 and Cataclysm
Typing "/grid" will now open a real configuration UI.
Incoming heal data is now obtained from the WoW client itself. LibHealComm-4.0 is no longer supported.
Converted from Ace2 to Ace3. Plugins that require Ace2 but don't embed it will fail; install Ace2 standalone while you wait for plugin authors to update.

Fixed a bug causing black frames when range checking was enabled for the Unit Health status.

1.30300.1304

Added dual spec support.
Added "By Class" layouts without pets.
The health bar background will now be colored correctly (instead of black) when "Invert Bar Color" is enabled but "Use class colors" is disabled on the Unit Health status.
The minimap icon will now be correctly shown or hidden when changing profiles.
Switching specs will no longer cause a momentary freeze.
Updated embedded libraries for WoW 3.3.5. (Note that this does NOT break compatibility with 3.3.3 or lower, so you can safely update Grid even if your locale hasn't patched yet.)

1.30300.1290

Upgraded to LibHealComm-4.0
Updated the By Class layouts to be more practical for modern raid sizes
Added default settings for Earth Shield
Fixed statusbar texture tiling in WoW 3.3.3

Fixed nil error in GridStatusAggro
Updated for 3.1

acky A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	Hi Phanx, hope you will catch my message when you have time. I am trying to setup 3 profiles - one for 10 man with bigger frames, one for 25 man and one for 40 man for Alterac Valley. I am using macros like this /grid profile choose Alterac Valley and its working great. The problem is when i change between the 3 profiles using macros the layout is not remembering his position until i open Grid and drag Frame width up or down. Once i do that it remembers the layout position. I am asking for your help, only thing that comes to my mind is to put something that will do - set frame width 40 and then set frame width 60 in the macro but i dont know how to do that. Hoping for some help, thanks for this great addon. 10 minutes after i wrote this, google finally helped so my macro now looks like this /grid profile choose Alterac Valley /grid gridframe framewidth 50 /grid gridframe framewidth 100 Maybe its ugly from an addon writer perspective, but its doing the job Maybe in the future you will implement ...being able to have a fixed layout and change players frame size when you switch from solo, 10, 15, 25, 40 players. Well sometimes if you can it will be great. Have a nice day. Last edited by acky : 04-13-12 at 08:52 AM.

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 1163 File comments: 1264 Uploads: 24	@slotting: Frame > Text Options > Center Text Length As mentioned near the top of the addon description, you should really take some time to look through the options available to you before asking how to change something. Not only will you save both your time and mine by not having to ask about every single thing you want to change, but you'll probably find a lot of options you had no idea existed. If you want any help with the menu issue, you're going to have to be a lot more specific than "it's buggy", but most likely it's the same AceConfig/AceGUI library issue already reported in the bug tracker, here: http://www.wowace.com/addons/grid/tickets/589-overlapping-controls-in-options-window/ @Draigars: Another typo. Change: Code: SLASH_GRID_SWAP_PROFILES = "/gsp" to: Code: SLASH_GRID_SWAP_PROFILES1 = "/gsp" Last edited by Phanx : 01-14-12 at 11:09 PM.

Draigars A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 36 Uploads: 0	Thanks. Now, the macro works perfectly but the Lua fragment code doesn't. No more Lua errors or anything, the game just doesn't recognize the slash command.

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 1163 File comments: 1264 Uploads: 24	That's because Grid does not have a GetProfile method. Profile methods are provided by AceDB-3.0, not AceAddon-3.0, so they act on the database, not the addon. You need to call Grid.db:GetProfile() instead. Likewise, Grid.db:SetProfile(profileName). I did typo this in the macro portion of my last post; I've edited that post to correct it. ____ Last edited by Phanx : 01-11-12 at 07:38 PM.

Code:

Grid:SetProfile("Raid25")

If you just have two profiles and you want to swap between them with the same command/keybind, use a macro:

Code:

/run local A,B="Raid10","Raid25" if Grid.db:GetCurrentProfile() == A then Grid.db:SetProfile(B) else Grid.db:SetProfile(A) end

or a slash command:

Code:

SLASH_GRID_SWAP_PROFILES = "/gsp"
SlashCmdList["GRID_SWAP_PROFILES"] = function()
	if Grid.db:GetCurrentProfile() == "Raid10" then
		Grid.db:SetProfile("Raid25")
	else
		Grid.db:SetProfile("Raid10")
	end
end

Hello Phanx. Thansk for answering me in the forums.

So I tried your Layout mods, but none did satisfy me. I'll finally choose an easy solution: typing /grid profile choose Raid10 each time I'll need to.

Only thing is, it would be great to have only to type /G10. So I'd like to have a little LUA hack, but have no idea once I write the bacis.

SlashCmdList["GRID25"] = function()
???
end
SLASH_GRID25 = "/g25"

Could you help me with this? Many thanks.

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 1163 File comments: 1264 Uploads: 24	Most likely, you have some other addon covering up part of Grid with an invisible frame. Action bar addons often do this. Type "/fstack" in game and then move the mouse cursor over the area that is not responding to clicks. You should see a list of frames that are underneath the cursor's current location. If you see something that is obviously part of another addon (for example, BartenderBar4), use that addon's options to move or delete the unwanted frame. Otherwise, post a screenshot showing the /fstack window, or type out the list of frames shown in the window.
