Yup - that's the problem - I had it set up so that if a unit was out of range it was VERY obvious (i.e. the unit was totally faded out). Ah well, suppose I need to mess around with the settings for an evening to figure it out.

 

Kirion

Eh? Enable range check that you need and check it in frame alpha indicator. Nothing really changed.

I recently upgraded and I'm experimenting with the "incoming heals" functionality. The problem is its nearly impossible to tell the difference between the players actual life and an incoming heal. I only seem to be able to change the alpha of the "incoming heal" portion of the health bar. What I really want is for the health bar to be two different colors, one color representing the players actual life, and the other representing incoming heals. Is this possible?

Also, grid does an annoying highlight when I mouse-over a player. Any way to remove that?

I've noticed a small thing that I haven't been able to fix. A few weeks ago, the names in the Grid boxes began ignoring the fact that GridManaSideBar is on the side, which means that the manabar clips overtop the first one or two characters. It's purely a cosmetic thing, but still somewhat annoying.

There's not some hidden "but he tries really hard" variable built into the game. -Slake

I always love the "it doesn't fit my style of play" line. There are only two styles of play; Correct, and Incorrect. The only people that ever use this line are people with the incorrect style of play. -Sebudai

I have one significant issue with Grid, and that is its inability to recognize 30 and 60 minute buffs as the same buff. I am the improved divine spirit priest in my guild, and I would love to have a huge icon pop up on mana/spell damage users if they do not have Divine Spirit or Prayer of Spirit. As it stands now, I have to use an icon to show these two buffs, since the priority system makes it relatively easy to set that up (as long as they have one of the two, something shows up).

The way my grid is set up, I have small icons for fort, shadow protection, spirit and a much larger icon for encounter-related debuffs, dispellable debuffs and mortal strike. I would like to be able to have a class-filtered "missing divine spirit or prayer of spirit" status assigned to this icon as well, so that it's easier for me to spot someone missing the buff (group or single target version) who should have it.

I read every post in the priest compendium, and every post in this thread looking for my answer. The only thing I saw was a reference to GridStatusMissingDebuffs. Could someone who uses this grid plug-in elaborate on its function and use?

It groups buffs into "Buff Groups", for example:

Buff Group: Prayer of Fortitude - Prayer of Fortitude and Power Word: Fortitude.
Buff Group: Blessing of Kings - Greater Blessing of Kings and Blessing of Kings

The addon has Buff Groups already set up and you just need to enable or disable the ones you are interested in viewing in the Status options, and then add them to your Grid layout.

For example it can show a colored square in a corner of your choice if someone lacks either 30min or 60 min Spirit, but you can show the Missing Buff status however you prefer.

It will get around this problem

 

Ullas

perfect. Thanks for your help.

I like the grid plug-in that druids can use for lifebloom stacks (i.e., different colors for 1, 2, 3 stacks ). Is there any equivalent for prayer of mending? Maybe this is a good opportunity to write my first mod

 

• Tauftamir

No, but on my Priest I have added Prayer of Mending as a buff and then (you can assign it to whatever you prefer of course) set it to show a white square in the top left corner the Grid of the player who currently has a Prayer of Mending buff.

This is obviously somewhat of a pain if there are multiple Priests using PoM, as all the people who have a PoM will be shown, not just your specific one.

If you want more detailed information than just "show a shiny box if person has a PoM" then try Mendwatch (available on the Ace SVN).

 

Holeman

Is there a way to make grid show incoming heals on the entire raid? I click on the incoming heals box but it only shows my incoming heals on a target and no one elses, I know theres also boxes for druid and priest hots but I'd like to see gheals etc any type of healing cast on a target to show up as a dot.

Any news on the damage tax?

Is it possible make another LUA file to change Grid border texture ? so that I don't have to change the code every time I update Gird.

(tried searching the thread but did not find anything useful )

Has anyone experienced any problems with Grid recently? As in, disconnects/freezes upon joining the raid, extremely low FPS. Also freezes during the raid.

When I enabled CPU Profiling for 10 mans, Grid was eating up 60% of my CPU. For 25 mans, I can't even join with CPU profiling enabled - and sometimes with it disabled too.

ImageShack - Hosting :: wowscrnshot031308184855zq9.jpg <- Now my PC ain't the best (and I have no idea why I have 2 shackle buttons, although the second mind blast key becomes mana burn when I do Arena) but that was 4 FPS with frequent freezes and jerky play. With SRaidFrames and Grid of 3-4 weeks ago, I'd get a stable <20 or so.

 

Mr. Pokeylope

Yep, I've been having these problems for a while. I haven't looked at the code to see if there's any opportunity for optimization, but I guess that might be a thing to do.

 

Bunni

I've been looking around for this as well. Having an indicator for an absolute health value strikes me as useful for multiple fights. Blizzard seems fond of the "Phase X - Everyone take Y damage" mechanic so having grid light up in some way for everyone under Y health would be quite useful. Even outside of fights it would be handy for a raid leader to be able to easily see everyone that didn't hit a certain buffed health mark.

 

Snowglow

Is anyone's Grid not working yet? Grid has been updated on its own but all the side addons haven't for me for weeks.
It was also acting very strange 'cos I couldn't see myself on it last night either.

Was hoping people would have already posted some alarm messages but apparently I'm the only one.
I surely hope I won't have to reconfigure everything again.

 

Pyros

Well it seems to be working for me. However, I had to remake my setup pretty much, because range wasn't working anymore on my old one, but was working fine with same options on the default. I just changed default to my old settings and now it works fine. Check if the default template is working, and if you were already using the default template, try to like, delete the saved variables from grid and check again on a clean install.

However, I guess it depends on the "side" addons you have installed. I have centertext 3, pets one, the zoneswitch one, side indicators, hotsstatus one and I think that's it.

 

Arthurion

I'm having problems with Grid and Pallypower too since 2.4. Rangecheck isn't working as it should, although i comlpetly reconfigured the complete UI.
But I found a work-around for the Grid and Pallypower problem.
Everytime i zone in to an instance i click "Logout" once and ESC-ape it. The second i click on Logout the Gridframe updates and Rangecheck is working fine till i zone out the instance.

Maybe this can help you for the moment.

 

NinJOu

I'm getting big freezes every time someone leave or join the raid (disconnect / reconnect too).

It seems i'm not the only one =/ Maybe an addon of Grid ?

 

Arthurion

heya,

after 423748372 login/out ocb2 (aced ocb) showed up to responsible for a broken Grid and Pallypower.
I'm looking for an alternative now. And no Quartz pls. I just need tu move the Castbar and give it a little optix and Spellcasttime

 

divulse

I have had this exact same problem, although it's not new with 2.4 for me. Players zoning in/out, reconnecting, joining/leaving the raid stutters my system badly. I love the addon, though, so I have just dealt with it for now, but there are some clutch moments in hyjal where people rezone midfight that this has really been a hinderance. Anyone know of the cause and/or solution to this?

Edit: Disregard, I'll use the solutions listed from post 100's replies. Sorry for bringing up previously adresed topics. >.< Searched the wrong keywords.

 

pens

This is what I'm really looking for as well. Right now it's like this:

Current HP:
|xxxxxx------|

Incoming heal turns to this:
|XXXXXXXXXXX|

What I want is to see something like this:
|xxxxxXXXXX|

 

Zarty

Just in case it helps anyone else, our healers very recently were having issues with short freezes when people would join/leave raid and when combat ended. It seems removing GridoRA2Layouts made the problem go away.

 

Frah

How do i make grid behave like decursive? As in when someone gets cursed i can click on them and it will cleanse them. I found previous answers to this involved some mod called cliq (?) but i think this is a bit of overkill given this other mods features.

 

• Polleke

It's called Clique. And no, Clique is not a bloated addon but actually a very lean setup and forget addon. You'll like it.

Click2cast can do that the same way as Clique can and can be updated using the wowaceupdater, which always is a big pro for me.
