For those of us new to Grid, can you explain how to set up seperate profiles. It's driving me crazy that Grid resets to 28 yards all the time. It looks like all my characters are using the Default Profile. How do I create different profiles? Thanks.

A question was raised in the BB about druid UIs. I've finally done some work on my UI and I have GridStatusLifebloom showing me the time remaining on Lifebloom and the number of stacks as a color. This works fine and I'm pleased with it. What I'd like, however, is a way to show the duration of Rejuvenation as well. I'm fine with it showing up next to Lifebloom and I'm fine with it showing up as a ticking number in a corner. I currently have a little square in the corner showing if Rejuv is ticking, but I have to look up to DoTimer to see what the duration is. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

In a perfect world I'd have the Lifebloom timer with colors in one corner, the Rejuv timer in another corner and the Regrowth timer in a third corner and still be able to see the unit name in the middle.

Humbaba, you can try GridStatusHotStack but it only shows the timer for one at a time, though it will tell you which HoTs are up. Or you could try adding an extra text line with GridIndicatorText3 and display two of your HoTs with timers at the same time.

I don't believe you can have text display in the corners without writing your own Grid submod. Adding a second text line is probably the best way, since you can't keep up three different types of HoTs fulling stacking lifebloom on two targets. If it's just one target with three HoT keep you can keep them selected and view the third hot in your target frame.

James, unfortunately not. But you could copy someone else's profile, or part of their config file, who did define them and hand that around.

Edit - see Kirion's post about a Grid submod

Karmen, you can go to Grid -> Frame -> Invert Bar Color. It will not invert the direction but it may be more like what you are used to. There is no option I know of to invert the direction.

 

Kirion

Or use GridStatusRaidDebuff

42.

I would love a Grid sub mod that allowed text in the corners. For example, I have a dot to show if there are any hots on a player but I would love to know how many hots. Same goes for charges on my Earth shield. Anyone up to writing one?

I just updated Grid and am having my bottom indicator show me a red color on occasion now. I only have it setup for lifebloom, rejuv, regrowth, my renew, and renew. I know it's a little OCD but it's driving me nuts not knowing what red means. Has anyone figured out what red means, yet?

 

Spazmo

If you're using GridStatusHots (I think that's the one) it's recently been updated to change colour (green->yellow->red) as the timer counts down. You can change these colours for each type of indicator (lifebloom, rejuv etc).

I got a few questions

1) first of all i downloaded Gridraiddebuff but its still missing a dependancy, anyone know which one?

2) it says for dynamic lay out that i dont have spell babble 2.2, just after my update. can anyone zip it for me?

3) I got grid ora, and i tried yesterday for it to show my ora tanks but it wasn't showing anything, i don't know what i'm doing wrong.
I'd like to have the tanks on one row, then I thus tried to just work it with 25 man+ tanks but it was only showing my 3
warriors not all 5. (was also a pally and druid tank)

for remainders i'm loving it

I read the first 7 or 8 pages and didn't see what i was looking for.... if anyone has answered this question already plz forgive me <3

I'm wondering if there is a kind of test mode to set up the grid boxes the way you want? like how omen has a kind of test bars mode?

 

hypetech

It may be the aggro indicator. I think it is a red dot by default.

 

Mayra

use GridStatusRaidDebuff

Hello all,

Does anyone know if the icon always shows the last debuff applied, aka the one you were to cleanse?
I am not sure if it does, pretty important to know in case of UA.

 

Theros

Just add Unstable Affliction and set the priority higher than Magic debuffs.

 

Snowglow

still no replies on my questions.

got two solved, all I'd still like to know is why it is not showing my ora tanks. I got the mod installed and I asked for it to show layout 25 men + ora tanks...If I ask to show 25men+ tanks, it only show the warriors.

Is it actually in anyway possible to show the percentage of health instead of the name during combat?
I find that a real disadvantage of grid 'cos last night I had lost health , and normally it should show a colored bar, for how much they lost but it doesnt always seem to do this. I get the health deficit shown but it fades after a few seconds you dont know if you someone has healed it up yet or not.


For now I'm always looking at my ag unitframes to see if this is the case, but if anyone has a solution for me, it would be more than welcome. Please explain to me then as well how I change it in detail.

Use the secondary text line to display Health Deficit (Value/%). I have also noticed that GRID updates for health bars is 'laggy' at times, as in nonexistant. It'll show a tank take a hit, but it takes several seconds to notice that the tank is topped up, or it'll show someone at full health when they took a 5k hit 4 seconds previous. It's really frustrating, so I setup the secondary text line to show text as a workaround.

Edit: this is with GRID->Status->Health->3 subtypes all set to Priority 99.

ty for your answer.

I first thought I was seeing it the wrong way, it is a tad dangerous. It was a problem on naj'entus for me last night, 'cos I have the minimum of health to survive a spine and a bubble. Same goes for tanks, at first I thought they were already getting healed and someone was always faster, then I saw it wasn't the case when I looked on my Ag Unitframes.

I still use them as well to have extra bars to check.

But i'll try as you stated.

 

james

Don't know if that actually increases the frequency of checks, etc. If your healthbar is only showing unit health then there should be no benefits to this. I think some recent problems have come from some changes to Grid, specifically the incoming health modules.

 

• Daboran

Seems one of the recent updates broke range checking? One of those things you don't realize how useful it is until it's gone....

 

Snowglow

Think concerning the incoming heals, it only shows if those people also have grid as healing addon I think.
Not sure, it doesnt show correctly for me either though.

still haven't found an answer on how it will show my ora tanks correctly. Even when I ask during raids to show grid +tanks , it only shows the warriors. Think I still have to configure something. Anyways its not condusive to go over all your grid when you need to heal 5 tanks at the same time on trash packs. luckily the aggro indicator makes it a bit easier. I know there is also griddynamic layout, but that never worked either, i clicked it as preferred layout but did nothing.

p.s: my range check works fine. I got range check on 0.5 secs, cos it was orignally put much later, which is not enough for a healer.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to setup GridStatusMissingBuffs to work with priest's Prayer of Shadow Protection. It isn't included in the list of buffs. When I try to add it manually using the exact spelling of the buff its not working.

After a bit of googling I found people who say that they use grid to do this, but don't explain how...am I missing something obvious?

edit: deleted and reinstalled both addons...and it works.

 

Snowglow

gridstatusmissing buffs does have prayer of shadow protection... so for that I dont understand your question.
Next to that you have various options to add buffs, i also asked for it to show my prayer of mending for example.

You need grid of course, gridstatusmissing buffs is an option implemented in grid. its not an addon on its own.

 

Norfair

I don't think that's it. I think the reason someone gets healed, but doesn't show on Grid's "incoming heals" feature is either because of instant heals (NS/CoH) or because a Chain Heal jumped to that person.

Keep f**king that chicken.

Edit: Latest version worked like a charm for me without having to fix anything. The following is mumbo jumbo, but thanks for replying. If you have this problem, try updating Grid


From the grid page at wowace:
My old style of changing alpha has been replaced with 4 ranges (>10, >30, >40, and >100) which was cool. But...

I only managed to get that "aura"(?I forgot the term they use) to show up in the standard corners. Nowhere did I manage to get it to change the alpha to notify that >40 was true. I had a hard time seeing who was out of range without looking closely at that frame, something that was not the case earlier.
