War Hun Rog Shm Dru
Pld Pre Rog Wlk Mag
Pld Pre Shm Wlk Mag

{
groupFilter = "WARRIOR,PALADIN,HUNTER,PRIEST,ROGUE,SHAMAN,WARLOCK,DRUID,MAGE",
groupBy = "CLASS",
maxColumn = 8,
unitsPerColumn = 5,
},

Something like this should do the trick. Except I'm not sure the class will appear in the order you mention... If it's not the case then you would have to resort to creating your own plugin and dynamically create a nameList-based group, similarly to what I do in GridDynamicLayout (but much simpler)

It's been a while since I've used Grid, and having downloaded the most recent version I've been pleased with progress made from early versions.

I've been able to configure then exactly as I like, but for some reason the movement anchor isn't functioning. Am I missing something? I've unlcoked the frames on the menu but still can't seem to drag the frames to the desired spot on the screen. Any help would be appreciated.

I had that issue for awhile too, make sure you unlock it and try alt-clicking and dragging, grab just outside the frame, seemed like the middle top/bottom worked the best for me.

The draggable part of Grid is the border, not the unit frames (boxes?) themselves. If you've got the border hidden, you want to drag just outside the outermost row/column of frames.

Am I the only one who's having a problem with the new Class Colors not getting saved from session to session? I use a sort of turkish/green for shamen raid names and before the update which included pets with grid and custom class colors I used the mod Class Colors and it would overwrite the standard Blizzard Class Colors, thus making Grid show Shamans as Turkish/green as well. Now Grid has it's own Class color module, but everytime I login the changes reset and it's the same Dark blue color. All other changes I make get stored, so It's not a problem about not being able to write to the saved variables file.

Im after something that im not quite sure is possible with just changing the "group layouts"...

Im after the following :

           Group 1
Group 2              Group 3
Group 4              Group 5

I guess you could do it with something like

GridLayout:AddLayout(L["StackedBox"], {
		[1] = {	groupFilter = "1", 
				maxColumns = "1",
				maxUnitsPerColumn = "5",
			  },
		[2] = {	groupFilter = "2,3",
				maxColumns = "1",
				maxUnitsPerColumn = "10",
			},
                    [3] = {	groupFilter = "4,5",
				maxColumns = "1",
				maxUnitsPerColumn = "10",
			},
	})

I havnt tested it yet, but im pretty sure the anchoring of the bars would be something like

Group 1
Group 2   Group 3
Group 4   Group 5

Anyone tested this / can tell me if my theory is wrong ? And know the answer to what im after...

Fixed in r59285.

May I suggest that you post your bug reports on the Grid thread on the wowace forum ? It might get fixed even sooner :-)

You're right. Grid won't easily center them.

I will

Couldn't get it at first through my WAU, but unchecking "skip SVN working copies" made me able to get it. Can someone please very fast explain what the setting "skip SVN working copies" does? It downloads versions which haven't been confirmed to work, or? Read the SVN wiki, but it seems it's more for uploading your addon to the server and doesn't tell me what I want to know.

Jerry · 01/24/08, 7:12 AM

"skip SVN copies" is an option for addon developper. WAU will not update addon which have a a subdirectory called ".svn", as it indicates that this addon is a working copy of a SVN repository.

You may have had difficulty getting the latest version as files.wowace.com (and thus WAU) is only updated every twenty minutes.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. Yeah, when I disabled SVN copies it said 10 mins since last update. Guess I was just a couple of minutes too fast and server hadn't updated it yet.
Thanks again.

How do I change the Alpha based on a players range from me.

So if people next to me (n range) are 100% visible, currently people not near me are 80% visible, I want it to be like 40% or something. ANd I still can't find where you change that Alpha at.

The way to set it is to go into the GridStausRange.lua file and edit it yourself. The code should look something like this:

color = { r = 1, g = 1, b = 1, a = 0.3 },

The a = x is the value for opacity(I set mine to 30%).

Mokhtar · 01/24/08, 2:53 PM

Well you can do that...

Or you can simply go into the range status settings and edit the color, there is an alpha slider there.

Disclaimer : maybe it is not possible anymore, I haven't really checked the new Jerry-improved version of GridStatusRange

Tried searching for this but no dice....
Is there a way to have grid auto-size the frame to fit the raid size? eg. having the size be 15 for eots/ab and 40 for AV?

Download the GridAutoResize plugin from WoWAce. There are two different plugins listed that do the same thing...just pick the one that works best for you.

Hodor · 01/25/08, 5:39 AM

GridAutoFrameSize does that.

It works most of the time. It has problems when it tries to change the size during combat - then you have to manually change the size.

Having installed Grid and customized it to my liking, I am having one problem: using macros with Clique.

I don't know if this is a problem specific to Grid or Clique or if it only happens when the two are used in conjunction: When I set a referenced macro into Clique like the following:

/cast Divine Illuminiation
/cast Flash of LIght (rank 7)

...I must first select the player in my party/raid that I wish to heal, rather than just <shift> clicking on the unitframe to cast the spell. It's not the end of the world, but I'd like to be able to just use a standard clique function with a macro without having to first change targets.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try

/cast Divine Illuminiation
/stopcating
/cast Flash of Light (rank 7)

Kreoss · 01/28/08, 5:47 AM

Is there a way to when I'm in a 5 man party Grid automatically load my Horizontal Group Layout for 5 Man and when I enter a raid he automatically loads the Vertical Setup with 25 man size and position it in a diferent place then the 5 man one too? :P

Maybe asking too much. :P

Sûl · 01/28/08, 12:11 PM

I've got the same sort of question as Kreoss.

Been trying to create a custom layout for Grid.
I am experimenting with one horizontal bar for 25 man raiding and 10 man raiding and party's (5 man). I've got Grid set up on the lower part of my screen and when I join a group it starts building up the row from the left to eventually reach the right side of my screen. This all fits perfectly well.

Except I would like to make it horizontally centred. Eg I want the 10-man's to be in the middle of my screen and the 5-man setup aswell.

This might be to much to ask, I've used a similar setup in the past where I just reloaded my UI afterloading a 25 man or 10 man profile for Grid.

With the line, "/cast Flash of Light(Rank 7), the macro is casting normally, i.e. on yourself or the current friendly target.

/use [target=mouseover] Flash of Light(Rank 7)

will do what you want.

Quarantine · 01/29/08, 12:53 PM

Thanks Wraith! That macro worked.
