Is there any way to make grid show a persons remaining HP rather than deficit?
Would be useful for anub hard mode for keeping people at a set amount of hp

MTs
I've been using Grid for well over a year and when I was holy could often ignore the fact that for a lot of Wrath, MTs have not been separated in my Grid. I'm raiding most often as disc now, so when my tanks are miles apart, having to mouse all the way over to them (or indeed shift my focus across the groups) can lose me valuable time.
So here's the issue - my tanks never appear separate on Grid. I've tried Grid Status MTs (text status, not helpful to this at all really), GridoRa2 Layouts, Dynamic Layout (there's a theme emerging here, I've tried a lot of layout plugins) but still nothing whatsoever.
Can anyone suggest a solution?

The easiest way for guild raids is to create your own addon containing the layout you want and hardcode the names of the tanks in your guild. It doesn't help for pugs though.
For instance, I have a file GridUmbrageTankLayouts.lua in the World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons\GridUmbrageTankLayouts folder:
GridLayout:AddLayout("Tanks and groups (25)", {
[1] = {
nameList = "Squishable,Zabar,Nazkol,Eitrax,Aquel",
},
[2] = {
groupFilter = "",
},
[3] = {
groupFilter = "1",
},
[4] = {
groupFilter = "2",
},
[5] = {
groupFilter = "3",
},
[6] = {
groupFilter = "4",
},
[7] = {
groupFilter = "5",
},
[8] = {
groupFilter = "",
},
[9] = {
isPetGroup = true,
filterOnPet = true,
}
})
GridLayout:AddLayout("Tanks and groups (10)", {
[1] = {
nameList = "Squishable,Zabar,Nazkol,Eitrax,Aquel",
},
[2] = {
groupFilter = "",
},
[3] = {
groupFilter = "1",
},
[4] = {
groupFilter = "2",
},
[5] = {
groupFilter = "",
},
[6] = {
isPetGroup = true,
filterOnPet = true,
}
})
And the associated GridUmbrageTankLayouts.toc:

I have a Problem with Grid. If I join a Battleground, for example Alterac Valley, and someone takes Damage, Grid says that this Person is in Range. In Reality I am in the Alliance Base in the North and the Person that is shown in my range is at the Iceblood Graveyard.
It makes me crazy when someone has -13k life, Grid says in Range but I can't heal him.
Anyone knows how I can fix this?
And sorry for my bad english.

Grid Total Current HP

If people want more detailed instructions post a request. Here are the basic instructions for GridStatusControlPipes and a screen shot.
GridStatusControl Pipes Description
This addon provides further control possibilities for any other Grid status. By now the following controls are available:
show or hide status on key press (KeyGuard)
show or hide status in or out of combat (CombatGuard)
convert duration status (like aura duration) to min/max value status to be able to display remaining time of auras on bar indicators (like GridManaBars) (ToBarFilter)
filter status for specific classes (ClassGuard)
convert color of status to class color (ClassColorFilter)
aura filter (can be used as debuff white list) (AuraGuard)
convert value to text (like health) (ToTextFilter)
threshold filter for values (ThresholdGuard)
How does it work
Like the name says, the addon works like a pipe, every pipe consists of four parts:
indicator - status registered with the indicator of a pipe are used as input for the pipe
guards - guards control if a pipe is open or not
filters - filters change the values piped through the pipe
status - the pipes status is the output of the pipe and can be registered with the actual destination indicator
So what you have is the following:
[status to control] -> [pipe indicator] -> [pipe status] -> ([guards] -> [filters]) -> [destination indicator]

You don't need an addon to display it. Add Earthshield as a custum Buff and display it where ever you want to (e.g. with GridIndicatorSideIcons at top, bottom, left or right).

Any chance you could write a guide on how to setup Grid using the pipes so that on the CentreText2 it shows the current units Current health?
I've tried to do it myself but there doesn't seem to be many options to choose from.
Thanks in advance.

About the healing stream totem, Grid checks for auras, so, take the name of the aura from wowhead, add another buff to monitor, and Grid should be able to indicate if a person is under that aura, or not.
I have a question of my own: how do I add a second line of text? I only have the center text line right now?
Thanks.

Go to Frame->Advanced and Enable Center Text 2.

I've been trying to fix this for a couple of days and I have yet been able to. I've tried everything that I know of with the in-game options and nothing changes. I want to be able to see frames even if they're out of range.
Currently OOR targets look like this:

I want it to look like this:

If anyone can shed some light on this, I would appreciate it.

Set out of range to low Alpha, not zero Alpha. Zero would make it entirely transparent (first screenshot), low will make it significantly more transparent (second screenshot).

Paper: "OMG, WTF, Scissors!"
Scissors: "Rock is OP and Paper are QQers. We need PvP buffs."

Heya all. Very new to grid, just set it up and trying to migrate over to from Xperl. Just ran my first raid with Grid and ran into my first snag. It's somewhat minor, but I like to have everything juuuuuuuuust the way I want. Is there a way to change the order in which Grid displays a unit in a row/column? As it appears now, it displays it alphabetically per group, and I see no way to change that. I want to set so that my tanks are always 1-2(3) in whichever party they are in. With the ability to have the actual MT as number 1 always. Is there a way to do this in the default grid interface, and if not, is there a mod that lets me do that?

Grid Bar Texture - As a theme for my UI, i have chosen a rather "Dark, Grungy" texture for all my addons which support bar texture. The Texture is called Ruben (Shared Media). Now, it seems when i go to configure the bar texture for grid, the drop down menu fills my screen vertically (full of texture options), but i am unable to scroll down to the texture i want. While this isn't a gamebreaker for me, i was wondering, if there was a way to select my preferred texture?
Edit: Sorry, another one - Is it possible to have grid frames display party / raid members unit names by, their class colour (Rogue = Yellow etc) AND have a custom coloured background (eg Jim the rogue , Yellow Writing ON a Grey Back Ground?) - I have tried many different things, and i cannot accomplish this, i only ask as i have seen various UI's using grid that have this. Thanks

I've been having a problem with GridIndicatorSideText.
Its been conflicting with the Center Text 2 text which is currently set to show incoming healing.
http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/5...1310205228.jpg
Is it posible to edit the lua to move the Center Text 2 text higher on the frame or reduce the size of just the Center Text 2 text?
I've only been able to fix this by increasing the height of the frame, but it just makes grid too bulky.

Maybe GridIndicatorText3 - Addons - Curse would work out for you? It might help order things better without going lua. Not sure though.

I recently made an automatic laymout manager for MT's for just this reason, see if it works as you want:
GridLayoutMT - Addons - Curse

Clique key binding
My question is about clique so if this is not appropriate for this thread please redirect me.
I use clique with grid and am having trouble with key bindings. I am unable to bind some of my keys to clique, when I try it says "that combination is already bound. Delete the old one before trying to re-bind."
Ctrl, Alt, Shift and Space bar all bind with no problem.
I turned off every addon except clique and grid and reloaded UI. The problem remained the same.
I have looked in WOW key bindings and confirmed that the key I want to use (tilda) for example is not in use. I also unbound the z key and tried to use that. Each time I get the same message.
I tried looking at the Helpful actions, Harmful actions and Out of combat. None of which have any key bindings at all that I can see.
Is there a way to look up a bound key combo to see what it is, and is there some place else in clique that I should look for key bindings?
Are there key bindings in Grid that may be interfearing with clique?
Thanks

Those are the only ones you can use. Space bar is new to me, though. I'll have to try that.

Status > Health > Unit Health > Uncheck 'use class color' and choose the color you wish to use.
Status > Unit Name > Check 'use class color'
This worked for me, though I had to reload my ui in order to have the changes display properly.

Ah nvm I need to learn to read, what I was trying to do is this:
Dark grey bars/Red background when they lose health. It seems there's no option to change the background color and I don't know how to edit the lua code to do this.
