Searchin' for an addon! (Raidframes)

Pandaabear · 05-08-13, 01:13 PM

Hello!

I would like some help to find or configurate an addon which I can have my raidframes in a specific layout.

This is my current layout:

As you can see, the raid frames aren't very pleasant stickin' out like that.
What I'm lookin' for is this:

So I'm wondering if anyone knows any addon in which I can still use my bars background and borders but align it like in the second picture.

The addon that I'm usin' is Grid, but it doesn't seem to support to put groups vertical like that.
(Keep in mind thought, that I have very little knowledge of LUA, most of my LUA experience is from guessin' what things do..

)

I would love any help I could help! Thx!

Second picture looks like PerfectRaid, not sure if it supports skinning.

the thing is, the second picture is reskinned. As you can see, we almost have the same look on it.

Edit: I looked into PerfectRaid it might be able to get the layout I want (vertical), but not even close to the look.

I was almost happy when I saw that:

But.. You can't customize it

I'm pretty sure the major unitframe AddOns can do that.

PitBull4
ShadowedUnitFrames
STUF
oUF (FreebGrid)
Vuhdo

So yes, FreebGrid CAN do this. You have to uncheck the "multiple headers" checkbox.

Well yes, but they needed to have customization for it to.
I did find STUF just before you mentioned it here and I just actually configurated it to just the way I want it. I will give you a link of it when I raid the next time

(I'm only usin' StufRaid-frames, nothing else)

Thx for the help anyway!

There's probably already a layout plugin to add that kind of layout, but if not, it would take someone with even basic programming skills about 30 seconds to write one.

Well, I don't have basic programming skills

But that link actually helped a lot! Thanks!

Do you mean the buffs at the top right corner?

I use rBuffFrameStyler with a custom border. Well, sort of. I was lazy and just opened up the original border in Photoshop and remade the Alpha channel to what I wanted

I ended up with usin' StufRaid anyway, it was just easier to configurate without LUA experience

This is what I got now:

with few minor changes. The second raid column is not going Bot > Top but instead it goes from Top > Bot. I'm also in the workin' of changin' some of the raid Icons.

But I think we should stick to the topic.
Thx for the help guys.. and Phanax, thx for the awesome Player / Target / Party frames! I love it!
