[GRID] Addons and Functionality - Page 35

zedwards · 12/21/08, 7:27 AM

Well, I used grid in BT and it showed major debuffs such as bloodboil/parasites, etc. so healers can react quickly and now with WotLK it is not showing debuffs such as Frost Tomb and so on. I never had to add debuffs and I don't want to if I don't have to. This is really my next priority in getting to work with my setup.

EDIT: So looking at the lua, it seems as the file is not updated for wotlk even though it has been updated since?

I'm wondering if it's possible to copy a grid profile and send it via msn to my friend so he can use my exact grid setup? Is there any way of doing this? I tried searching for it but came up with no results.

There's an alpha version that's been updated in the last day - GridStatusRaidDebuff - World of Warcraft - WowAce.com
I haven't had a chance to test it yet but should do tomorrow.

You should just be able to copy your grid.lua file from your C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\ACCOUNTNAME\SavedVariables to your friend (in the same location on his pc, just his Accountname of course) and make him go to Grid, profiles and select your char name/server/default (depends on how you set up your profile).

Here's a question regarding that process: would that work across different operating systems? I use a Mac, and everyone else I know who uses Grid is in Windows, predictably. Would their SavedVariables file work with my Mac install, or do the OSes handle those particular files differently?

It's the same cross-platform.

I've installed beta GRID and with some minor problems (GridStatusMending is not working, "My Renew" is not fading off) it's working perfectly. The only question I have now is how it will work with 25 pets in Malygos fight (tbh the only fight where the change was actually needed)? I usually have 25+pets layout but the GRID doesn't show me more than 5 pets.

Right now : won't work at all, Grid uses name to differentiate units currently and all drakes have the same name, a version using guid should be released shortly (as in targeted to jan 15).
After that : you may still need a custom layout to do that, afaik the current layouts "with pets" only display warlock / hunter pets (possibly DK ?). GridDynamicLayout does that but it's just a feature in an automatic layout that you may not find to your taste.

Thanks for the answer. As I've said, I'm using beta version of GRID I got from SNV workspace pointed above. I was using GridDynamicLayout some months ago but had to remove it due to heavy lag spikes when someone died or may be in other circumstances.
Currently, beta version displays all pets including vehicle-type mounts (i.e. tailors' carpet) and mind-controlled mobs but only limited to 5 in default layout. How can I create a custom layout to use in Malygos-like fight?

I am looking for a solution that will allow me to display MT, MTTarget, and MTTargetTarget (with tanks/assists defined using oRa2) as Grid boxes. I have scoured forums (including this one) and have not found anything.

I use Grid + Clique, with decursive mUFs for decursing (I find that separating the removable debuffs from Grid makes response faster and allows me to use Grid Icon for other things -- plus when I raid as boomkin I can ignore Grid and only pay attention to mUFs).

Current setup isn't the end of the world -- I can use Clique on oRa2 bars as well, but it would be nice to see incoming heals and HoT Status (and when my HoTs are about to run out) right there on the MT/MA area. Also for fights with frequent tank bounces it's just easier, especially when I'm mostly raid healing.

Re: Malygos -- tried the new version on EoE10 and it worked(?) but without all pets displaying. For 10 it's not really needed anyway, will try it with 25 and provide feedback.

If by beta version you mean alpha version then it should work.

Edit GridLayoutLayout.lua, for example take "By Group 25 w/ pets" :

GridLayout:AddLayout(L["By Group 25 w/Pets"], {
	[1] = {
		groupFilter = "1",
	},
	[2] = {
		groupFilter = "2",
	},
	[3] = {
		groupFilter = "3",
	},
	[4] = {
		groupFilter = "4",
	},
	[5] = {
		groupFilter = "5",
	},
	[6] = {
		groupFilter = "1,2,3,4,5",
		isPetGroup = true,
		unitsPerColumn = 5,
		maxColumns = 5,
	},
})

Change it to :

GridLayout:AddLayout(L["By Group 25 w/Pets"], {
	[1] = {
		groupFilter = "1",
	},
	[2] = {
		groupFilter = "2",
	},
	[3] = {
		groupFilter = "3",
	},
	[4] = {
		groupFilter = "4",
	},
	[5] = {
		groupFilter = "5",
	},
	[6] = {
		groupFilter = "1,2,3,4,5",
		isPetGroup = true,
		unitsPerColumn = 5,
	},
})

Mokhtar, thanks again for the reply. Yes, I meant alpha version. I will try this change.

Pastamancer · 01/13/09, 11:06 AM

Did I miss something?

How do you have more than 25 (unitsPerColumn * maxColumns) pets for 25 players (groups 1-5)?

Kreoss · 01/13/09, 12:35 PM

I'm raiding 10 man only at the moment. It would be extremely helpfull If I could have a Grid layout that would put MTs marked as such in addons like oRA2 to be the first ones appearing in Grid. Is that possible?

cptmurdok · 01/13/09, 2:04 PM

For what it's worth, I updated the old version of GridStatusRaidDebuff for use in Wrath raids. I've used it without problems in Naxx-10, Malygos-10/25, and Sartharion-10/25. I'll be testing it in Naxx-25 tonight. Azethoth is including my updates in his alpha version, but for those still using the current release version of Grid, you may find this useful for the time being.
