[GRID] Addons and Functionality - Page 14

Auralin · 04/02/08, 3:06 PM

Has anyone else had a problem with their custom textures and fonts being removed from Grid? i updated Grid and now my textures and fonts aren't displaying any longer. Also the section on the configuration menu to set the texture and font doesn't appear to be there anymore. Did the menu change? Is another addon I'm using causing a problem? Were textures and fonts taken out to cut down on memory usage? Or am I just missing something all together?
Thanks for the help,
Auralin

P.S. I don't see anything in the change log about it.

Combed as much of the thread as I could and I didn't see this answered. Sorry if I missed it:

is there any way to get Grid to display enough dummy/test units to fill a 25 man raid, for layout/configuration purposes? It's very hard to set it up the way I like without actually being in a full raid, which is an inconvenient time to be fiddling with the thing.

I just queue up an AV when I start to do any changes to my UI, particularly Grid. Easiest solution that I've found so far.

I'm browsing the addon list at wowace.com, but I'm not seeing anything that looks like a likely candidate for showing ability durations on Grid. The big one that I want is Curse of Boundless Agony, but it would useful have Burn as well. Any ideas for anything that will show these durations rather than a static indicator?

Is there any way to give grid the ability to " click and drag " party members to another party during a raid? For some reason when I open the default raid tab in combat it comes up blank, maybe its another issue just trying to find some solution.

No unitframe addon can do this Im afraid (they're not allowed). It's too bad, it would be a hell of a feature.

It would have to be specifically coded as a Grid addon.

Pitbull raid frames will let you add your own debuff indicators though because it uses Dogtags 3.0 - see the Dogtags thread for the syntax. I stripped Pitbull raid frames right down to basics and the made it the same size/similar layout as Grid and then put these debuffs in. I just enable Pitbull frames for the boss encounters that require it such as Illidan, Kal, Brut.

The perfect solution would be to make a Dogtags 3.0 module for Grid imo.

There's a plug-in for Grid called GridStatusKalecgos which should do it. It's supposed to pop up the debuff indicator for the curse after it's been up for a while. Think it even supports so you can set for yourself how long the Curse must've been up before it shows the indicator.

I actually saw this last night on WAU and grabbed it. I'll give it a try Sunday and see how it goes.

Does anyone know of a way to integrate Decursive into Grid? Basically what I am looking for is a way to get rid of the Decursive squares and be able to, lets say, right-click on a grid unit to cast decurse. It doesn't have to be specifically right-click, but you get the idea.

Get rid of Decursive and get Clique, it lets you do exactly what you said.

Grid + Clique, configure clique to remove curse on right click, or make the following macro

/cast [target=mouseover] Remove Curse

Have a question/problem re; Grid.

Typically when I load into WoW I have Grid set up into a certain position - no matter how many /console reloadui string commands I do to save the repositioning/settings, whenever I log back in, it's offset.

(ie, imagine your Grid is at the top left corner. You prefer it on the top right, and move it there. When you log back in, it's back at the top left).

Tried reinstalling my mods, etc. Any ideas?

Camora · 04/14/08, 4:05 AM

Yeah, I was aware of Clique, and I kinda figured I would have to use it, but I just wanted to check if there was a way to do it within Grid without having to download another complete mod.

Edit: Will using this method cause me to target the Decursing target, or will it work the same as a focus Macro?

Clique uses the frame unit as the target, so it will work the same as a mouseover macro - that is, you won't have to target or focus-target the entity you wish to use the spell on. Essentially, just set up Clique to do alt+shift+ctrl+mousebutton 5 to use the Moo spell, and it'll Just Work.

Clique is awesome and very, very low profile. You can even configure it to just touch your Grid unit frames.

Sidenote: it is often good to keep Clique from "hooking" right mouse button and player frame, unless you either have mastered the command line or have another addon to change loot stuff / leave groups.

You can set up a new click bind for the drop down menu in the "Custom" section and some frames support not binding the name plate to clique but only the rest of the frame (e.g. X-perl, Pitbull).

It turned out to be Monday, but this works great. I set it to display in Text 3 and it shows green numbers for the time elapsed in the first 10 seconds and red numbers thereafter.

If the issue just appears to be the mod not saving settings changes, you should probably check to make sure that the saved variables file for Grid isn't set as read only (had this happen on a few chars before). Typically I just uncheck the read only attribute for the entire WTF directory and it usually takes care of that issue.

If that doesn't take care of it, you'll have to delete the saved variables file for Grid for the affected character and reconfigure it from scratch.

Did you happen to notice that if you select a unit with the timer running and don't decurse it, the timer resets to 0secs and counts from there for as long as it is selected? Once you deselect the unit, the timer "remembers" where it was supposed to be and shows the correct debuff time.

The mod author has replied to my enquiry on this issue - if you get this check the status priorties for the unit and the debuff - the unit may be overriding the debuff.

I changed the priority on it, but no, I didn't notice this. That's not to say that it isn't happening, just that I rarely target people. I have all my healing spells plus abolish poison and decurse set up with mouseover macros so I just mouseover the cursed player in Grid and hit "e" to decurse them.

Yeh, it's a little more noticeable on Brutallus, where I changed the addon to show Burn times.

How can I get Clique to use regular keyboard buttons though and not just mousebuttons? I want to be able to use my current keyboard keybindings. I want to be able to mouseover units in Grid and hit the keybinding for that heal/dispell/cure whatever and have it work like a mouseover macro. But I only want it to do this when I hover over units in Grid not any unitframe or any player, which is how mouseover macros work.

If Clique can in no way do this, is there any other way anyone knows of I can achieve this?

You can use mouseover macros for that functionality.
