This wiped us twice on Morogrim last night before I went to a less-techy solution, so any help is much appreciated.

edit: I think that 2.2 broke this but I had some occasional trouble with it even before that.

You have to update Clique.

Clique already automatically targets the frame your mouse is over so there's really no need to have a mouseover macro bound to a mouse button through clique. Instead of binding a macro, bind just the spell itself, or if you're intent on keeping the macro, remove the mouseover portion of it.

I've searched this thread but couldnt find this topic...

Is there any way to make Grid show dummy frames? I'd like to know the size of a full Grid so I can design my UI around that. Are there any ways to do this?

◊ Sarutobi · 10/12/07, 3:38 PM

I'm not 100% sure about dummy frames, but if you just need all of the frames to be visible, there are 2 fairly easy ways to do it.

1: Make the border visible if you have it hidden or transparent.
2: Join a game of AV and choose a template that shows only the desired number of frames (eg. By Group (25))

Camaris · 10/13/07, 7:53 AM

Ooh.. I like that (blindingly obvious) second suggestion. No more need to beg guild members

Let's hope I won't get the AFK debuff too soon.

Ruby Moon · 10/16/07, 3:44 PM

If you get the debuff, what's the problem? You're just arranging frames anyway, nothing to lose.

No there isn't but the easiest thing to do is just enter an AV and do all your UI tweaking there(which is what I do all the time)

Would like to know how this person was able to icons for the corners in their grid, I can only get icons via the center icon frame option.

I browsed over all of the grid modules on wow ace again and double checked my grid options and wasn't able to get anywhere.

I'd love to be able to do that too, I'm fairly sure it's within the capabilities of the mod but not seen it in either the default layouts or in the "layouts for healers" module unless I'm missing something.

Might be worth checking out this thread on the wowace forums:

[Grid] Modules: Threat,RaidIcons,MTs / Indicators: Text3,SideIcons

I'm thinking the SideIcons could be what you're after, although I haven't tried these modules myself.

This is probably it, Thank you!

Just to let you know, thats not Grid. It's a custom layout I made from RDX

Thallsring · 10/19/07, 8:56 AM

After reading through the thread, I've seen notices that some people are doing what I am attempting, which is to use Grid exclusively for any situation, but noone actually mentioned how they managed to hide the default Blizzard frames.

I'm attempting to minimize CPU load and as such, I am reluctant to rely on a second addon to fully suppres the default frames (such as PitBull and AGUF, which I've used before). Now I have no trouble in raids, since the Blizzard interface let's be hide the frames when in a raid, but I would likethem hidden when I'm in a party as well.

Is there an easy, if any, way of having Grid do this (I'm using IceHUD, so I am already hiding the player frame, just missing a way to remove the party frames), or some hitherto unknown/unmentioned mod that plugs in and does it?

Ruby Moon · 10/19/07, 12:10 PM

I'm having a strange latency problem in GRID. I don't know why, but while in 25-mans, it has a lot of problems in refreshing itself, a lot of my heals are just wasted because the person looks like needing a heal but it is already at full health and GRID can't show me. GRID is laggy, can anybody say what's going on?

Hmm interesting, oh well the addon he linked does what I wanted

I have a quick question as I have been searching for this Grid functionality for a while now.

Is there a module for grid to make the people in your raid movable between groups? I am looking for a basic replication of the raid frame functionality of being able to move people.

I searched for the same thing, only to find out that it isn't possible. I don't know the details, but the API (I don't know what this is :P) doesn't allow addons access to this feature.

dmzdmz · 10/24/07, 4:24 PM

I cant get Grid to work properly... I have the latest version and everything, but when I join a BG or a raid group, it bugs or something happens.

For Example, it shows as if ppl were low health, but I already healed them so they are at full health, yet Grid still shows them low, or when ppl take dmg, it doesnt show on Grid. It shows them at full health. I heard something about the Refresh rate but i couldnt find anything about it, if you guys can help me out that'd be great.

Thanks.

Is there any way to make grid sort same way ctra and the classic ui work, as in sort by class and also make it possible to move each class to its own place on the screen? I want something like:

warrior   hunter
warrior   hunter
warrior   hunter
mage      priest
mage      priest
mage      shaman
warlock   shaman
warlock   shaman
warlock

And when the group makeup changes to set it up appropriately.
Any way grid can do this?
If not, which raidframes are recommended? As Sraidframes is bugged as hell last time I checked, and x-perl is giving me shit when I try to move frames around as well as taking over my castbar.

Sort by class is possible, it is not possible to separate the Grid into several different parts (groups or classes). Think of Grid as "The Grid", if that's any help.

Yes, it can.

Add the following to the GridLayoutLayouts.lua

GridLayout:AddLayout("My Layout", {
		[1] = {
			groupFilter = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,WARRIOR,MAGE,WARLOCK",
			strictFiltering = true,
			groupBy = "CLASS",
			groupingOrder = "WARRIOR,MAGE,WARLOCK",
		},
		[2] = {
			groupFilter = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,HUNTER,PRIEST,SHAMAN",
			strictFiltering = true,
			groupBy = "CLASS",
			groupingOrder = "HUNTER,PRIEST,SHAMAN",
		},
	})

Missing here are the 3 last classes, but you get the idea. Each entry corresponds to a column in the layout. the groupFilter controls which unit is shown, and groupingOrder their order.

Mokhtar · 10/29/07, 8:08 AM

With the arrival of Feral druid / Prot pals the old layout Tanks + raid is outdated as only warrrior are counted as tanks, would it be possible to specifically assign names for tanks ? The only existing filters for layouts seem to be by group / class, any way to add specific names to that ?
Edit - this is actually easily done with current version via nameList filter in layouts

Theros · 10/29/07, 9:01 AM

Is there any way to show how many stacks of a debuff a unit has? We're at Gurtogg Bloodboil and I would like to see how many stacks of Acidic Wound the tanks have in the Center Icon (and Blood Boil on the raid).

galzohar · 10/31/07, 12:42 AM

That's a nice way to sort it, problem is when you have 2 mages join and 2 hunters leave the raid you have to exit the game and edit the file again, no?
