Anybody has a "new" download link for gridhorizontallayouts ? Or another addon that does exactly the same as it used to do ?

Question for you Grid users, I'm new to the addon..

How do you set it up to show people in vehicles? Like is there a way to have it work like Healbot did as far as vehicles go, to where it will target the vehicle when you click on the grid box of the player?

I was having the same issue with renew hots, seeing others in the raid. This link (Tree Bark Jacket) fixed it, haven't had any problems.

Thanks!

edit:
also, a question
I recently switched over from healbot, and while I love healbot, I'm already swept away by Grid and all the customization possibilities. I set up my frames and layout such that they're pretty similar to the layout of healbot, because its a layout I'm very familiar with, BUT I have one small issue.

In healbot, in a 25 man raid (or w/e), the raidbar UI always put your character's bar & group TOP LEFT!!! I miss this. I arranged my 25man layout to be 2 columns, where column 1 = groups 1,2,3 and column 2 = groups 4,5, groupedby group, and while this is great, sometimes my character's bar will be down towards the bottom of column 1, or in the middle of column 2,etc.

Basically, I'm wondering if you guys have any suggestions. If forcing my group to move to top left is too difficult/problematic, I may just go about making my character's bar particularly evident, with a border or a unique color or something. Have to make sure to pay extra attention to myself in Ulduar.

Is there any fix yet for people not using GridStatusHots to make Grid only show your own HoTs? I tried the fix posted earlier on this page, but all that succeeded in doing was making Grid not show buffs at all.

Hi everyone, I have a small question regarding Yogg Saron and Grid :

I have Grid displaying magic debuffs as a central icon, but I have a problem with "Dominate mind" on Yogg Saron (basically a mind controll spell on a random player). Actually, the debuff icon is displayed normally but grid considers the player affected as out of reach, and thus make it transparent. I can still dispell it normally though but the transparence is very annoying and confusing (because sometimes the person really is out of reach).

Anyone else encountered the same problem and is there a way to correct it ?

This might just be a guess, but how does grid check for range? If the mind controlled player is no longer a legal target of that spell due to him being hostile that might be why grid marks him as out of reach / illegal target. If you can change whatever spellcast you use to check range try to do that.

I think there is an option to have your group appear separately from the rest (although then it will get displayed twice). The resulting layout would look something like [Your group][G1][G2][G3][G4][G5] if you're using a standard layout.

I can concur with this statement. On of our Yogg pallys was having a terrible time trying to dispell mind-controls during Yogg. First off, his cleanse/dispell only has a 30 yard range but Grid is set to 40 yards. This causes huge problems. For those in range of the dispell, he would try to dispell but would get out of range.

No, Cleanse - Spell - World of Warcraft has a 40 yard range. I believe the reason why your paladin is having issues is that Cleanse only works on friendly targets. While someone is mind-controlled, they are not friendly, hence you need to get a priest or shaman to remove the mind control.

I have been wondering the same thing myself. I read where the GridQuickhealth has been updated to use LibQuickHealth 2.0 so it seems to be up to date. What I have noticed is that the health bar jumps around a lot. What I believe is happening is that Grid is displaying updates from the LibQuickhealth, then displaying updates from the regular interface. I think this causes newer information to get overwritten by the older information that comes through the regular interface. The health bar jumps back and forth between the different sets of data. This can be annoying but I think not seeing a health deficit soon enough to react is a bigger problem.

I have just started to use GRID and i have noticed that i cannot use my mousebound spells while the cursor is over the GRID frame. Since i have all my important healing spells on the mouse its kind of pointless to use GRID if i need to remove the cursor from the frame after each time i switch targets.

I know alot of you are thinking "why dont you just switch your bindings?" the way i have my bindings is the way i like them and the layout is very effective for me.

Is there anyway i can get it to work? Maybe let grid ignore all buttons except the left-mousebutton(for targetting), have it read the mousebuttons like keyboard strokes?

Thanks and hope you can help me.

Mouseover targetting isn't a built in function of grid. I'm not sure whats happening, but my guess is that the macros you have bound to the mouse contain 'target=mouseover'

Localo · 05/21/09, 2:24 AM

I dont have any macros just pure and simple keybindings. Example; Windows Mousebutton 5 = Shield. So if i want to spam shields on the raid(Disc specc), i target someone in the raid, move away the cursor so its not hovering over GRID and then click Mousebutton 5.

What i would like to do is, Target someone in the raid, cast shield, target a new person, cast shield. To remove the motion where i need to move the cursor away from GRID. Thank you again. Any possible solution is welcome.

Localo, install Clique. It's very nice addon to bind all your spells to mouse and works great in conjunction with Grid. You will forget the meaning of "target"
