Kahsm � A fix for Patch 3.1 Self Buff / Own Buff Problems in WoW Addons Grid/ElkBuffBars fix.

I tried but apparently I'm too computer illiterate to get it to properly work. If ANYONE gets this to work, please post, or send me your newly saved/fixed .lua file and I will pay you with ehugs.

There's a build on the WoWAce site that indicates the Aura module has been fixed a few hours ago. There was a build pushed out to Curse, etc, this morning so these fixes might show up soon on the official sites.

Is it possible (by modifying the files maybe) to have Grid looks like
G1 G3 G5
G2 G4
or
G1 G2
G3 G4 G5
or whatever such that Grid is no longer a grid ...

I tried something like

     [1] = {
	     groupFilter = "1,2",
     }
     [2] = {
	     groupFilter = "3,4",
     },
     [3] = {
	     groupFilter = "5",
     },

but groups 1 and 2 are melted and sorted either by name or by index (and I don't know what 'sortMethod = "INDEX"' does btw).

edit : maybe 'sortMethod = --' does what I want. If it's not the case, I will have to modify manually the layout of all frames, but how ?

Following a disconnect, if I log back in during the fight, Grid never seems to reappear until combat is dropped. For obvious reasons, this tends to completely neuter my healing for the remainder of the fight. Is there any command to force Grid to refresh/redraw while in combat?

Spazmo · 04/20/09, 1:01 AM

The only way I know of doing this is

/console reloadui

Unfortunately it takes me at least 10 seconds to do a UI reload, which can be agonising especially after already waiting through a disconnect and relog. I understand why it takes a UI reload to do it with secure frames and whatnot, but it would be good if the initial login UI load was all that was required. As far as I'm aware this is an issue with most (all?) custom raid frames.

I've been struggling around with Grid for the last days and there've been two questions coming up.

1. Why does Grid keep resetting its settings on logout/ relog?
2. I've been trying to make Grid look following; Background of the player frames (not Grid's background): black - Names: Class colour. Unfortunately I've not been able to set it up this way. Although I noticed the option to invert colours [which does not make the background black but simply darkens its background colour (class colour)]. *Example*

I'd like to know how Grid is handling Sanity during the Yogg fight. As a raid leader id like to see if someone Sanity is getting low. Has anyone who has killed him added it as a custom aura?

I'm wondering if Grid has a plugin that enables it to show cooldowns on the main tank? I'd love some way of tracking when a tank has Guardian Spirit, Shield Wall, Hand of Sacrifice etc.

I've just added those to the buff list and put them center icon. Works like a charm.

Druids still have Grid Screw up like I do? I see all of my mates HoTs in Raids, it's hell to heal like that. I've been searching for solutions on it, for new builds but no news that I know of.

Anyone know a fix to it?

If your using WoW AddOns - GridStatusHots - WowAce.com there's a fix here: Tree Bark Jacket: GridStatusHots fix Haven't tested it though.

Is there any way to change the transparency of the Center Icon? I added custom debuffs to grid and showing them on the Center icon slot (like Ignis's Slag Pot and so on). But if the icon is up, i can't see the player's current HP clearly. I like the way am i using the Center icon+debuffs just want to change the opacity of the icon.

Canijo · 05/01/09, 7:49 AM

Here is a question: Its possible to create a thick outline to the grid names ?

PD: Sorry for my bad English!

Edited: I figured it out myself already by a lot of trial and error. Had to add:

groupingOrder = "1,2,3,4,5",
groupBy = "GROUP",

Thanks anyways!

Hey all! I realize this is quite an old post to be replying to and quoting, but this is similar to the issue I've been trying to work out. I'm not happy with the Grid default layout options, and the plugins for layouts seem to be woefully out of date.

This fix (see quote) is exactly what I'm looking for, but the problem I'm having now is that the group filter mashes up the groups and the individuals within them into the one column. They no longer stay collected within their groups, inside of the column. I'm guessing there's some sort of fix with this, but I'm too new to figure it out myself! Please assist, and thanks so much!

Open INTERFACE // ADDONS // GRID // GridLayoutLayouts.lua

Now add this at the end of the file:

GridLayout:AddLayout(L["25 Single Col"], {
		[1] = {	groupFilter = "1,2,3,4,5", 
				maxColumns = "1",
				maxUnitsPerColumn = "25",
			  },
	})

You'll now be able to select this layout "25 Single Col" from the Grid layout menu the next time you load WoW.

I HAD this exact same problem. I tried everything I could think of. It is definitely related to range checks... but it's hard to replicate and test. I was working off of a fresh grid install, played around with a bunch of things, and ended up getting the black box issue, most often, as others mentioned, in BGs, presumably because of the frequency with which players are moving in and out of range, and in and out of combat.

I ended up wiping Grid entirely (as I had done before), starting fresh, and NOT TOUCHING anything within range checks. The default settings in there were fine for me anyways.

Since doing this, I have not gotten the black box error once.
