I have a quick question as I have been searching for this Grid functionality for a while now.

Is there a module for grid to make the people in your raid movable between groups? I am looking for a basic replication of the raid frame functionality of being able to move people.

I searched for the same thing, only to find out that it isn't possible. I don't know the details, but the API (I don't know what this is :P) doesn't allow addons access to this feature.

I cant get Grid to work properly... I have the latest version and everything, but when I join a BG or a raid group, it bugs or something happens.

For Example, it shows as if ppl were low health, but I already healed them so they are at full health, yet Grid still shows them low, or when ppl take dmg, it doesnt show on Grid. It shows them at full health. I heard something about the Refresh rate but i couldnt find anything about it, if you guys can help me out that'd be great.

Thanks.

Is there any way to make grid sort same way ctra and the classic ui work, as in sort by class and also make it possible to move each class to its own place on the screen? I want something like:

warrior   hunter
warrior   hunter
warrior   hunter
mage      priest
mage      priest
mage      shaman
warlock   shaman
warlock   shaman
warlock

And when the group makeup changes to set it up appropriately.
Any way grid can do this?
If not, which raidframes are recommended? As Sraidframes is bugged as hell last time I checked, and x-perl is giving me shit when I try to move frames around as well as taking over my castbar.

Sort by class is possible, it is not possible to separate the Grid into several different parts (groups or classes). Think of Grid as "The Grid", if that's any help.

Yes, it can.

Add the following to the GridLayoutLayouts.lua

GridLayout:AddLayout("My Layout", {
		[1] = {
			groupFilter = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,WARRIOR,MAGE,WARLOCK",
			strictFiltering = true,
			groupBy = "CLASS",
			groupingOrder = "WARRIOR,MAGE,WARLOCK",
		},
		[2] = {
			groupFilter = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,HUNTER,PRIEST,SHAMAN",
			strictFiltering = true,
			groupBy = "CLASS",
			groupingOrder = "HUNTER,PRIEST,SHAMAN",
		},
	})

Missing here are the 3 last classes, but you get the idea. Each entry corresponds to a column in the layout. the groupFilter controls which unit is shown, and groupingOrder their order.

With the arrival of Feral druid / Prot pals the old layout Tanks + raid is outdated as only warrrior are counted as tanks, would it be possible to specifically assign names for tanks ? The only existing filters for layouts seem to be by group / class, any way to add specific names to that ?
Edit - this is actually easily done with current version via nameList filter in layouts

Theros · 10/29/07, 8:01 AM

Is there any way to show how many stacks of a debuff a unit has? We're at Gurtogg Bloodboil and I would like to see how many stacks of Acidic Wound the tanks have in the Center Icon (and Blood Boil on the raid).

That's a nice way to sort it, problem is when you have 2 mages join and 2 hunters leave the raid you have to exit the game and edit the file again, no?

Why ? What kind of layout do you want exactly ? How do you think it should handle your example ?

So, I read the thread and I'm either blind or missing something. How do you make Grid tell you more then the first 4 letters of a persons name?

galzohar · 11/02/07, 1:45 AM

Say, for the example I showed, this setup would've been fine. But then the next raid (or in the middle of the current raid) you have 1 warrior 1 mage 4 shamans 5 priests and 4 hunters, and it gets all messed up with 5 people on the first column and 12 people on the 2nd.
I'm looking for something that would let me arrange the raid in 2-3 columns that would be as close to the same height as possible (depending on the class makeup in the raid).
With CTRA I just dragged the classes in a way that fitted them in 2-3 columns, and moved it every time the raid composition changed.
On a side note, it would be even better if you can put "tanks" as their own class based on their assignment.

Go to Grid -> Frame -> Center Text Length to set how many letters you want.
