Why ? What kind of layout do you want exactly ? How do you think it should handle your example ?

So, I read the thread and I'm either blind or missing something. How do you make Grid tell you more then the first 4 letters of a persons name?

Say, for the example I showed, this setup would've been fine. But then the next raid (or in the middle of the current raid) you have 1 warrior 1 mage 4 shamans 5 priests and 4 hunters, and it gets all messed up with 5 people on the first column and 12 people on the 2nd.
I'm looking for something that would let me arrange the raid in 2-3 columns that would be as close to the same height as possible (depending on the class makeup in the raid).
With CTRA I just dragged the classes in a way that fitted them in 2-3 columns, and moved it every time the raid composition changed.
On a side note, it would be even better if you can put "tanks" as their own class based on their assignment.

Go to Grid -> Frame -> Center Text Length to set how many letters you want.

Is there any chance you can post this lay?

Hide Party Macro:
/run for i=1,4 do local f=getglobal("PartyMemberFrame"..i);f:UnregisterAllEvents();f:Hide() end

Whenever I get into a group i run this macro. Not as elegant as having it always turned off.. but definately low CPU usage.

Before 2.3 I had added an outline on my center text in the gridframe.lua but for some reason after updating grid in 2.3 if I make any changes to the .lua grid wont work and even if I revert my changes it won't work. I end up having to re-download grid. Anyone know whats going on with this?

Came across this one today that I think most people should probably try out:

GridStatusRaidDebuff -Adds a status indicator to Grid for debuffs which used by Raid Mobs.
Index of /GridStatusRaidDebuff/

Looks like a pretty complete list of all the annoying debuffs Ive tried to add to my own copy of Grid, and would certainly be a plus for the less than savvy users. Only thing of note is you still need to attach it to a display (center icon / Raid Debuff for example)

Two interesting plugins for Grid (I should know, I coded them :P ) :
- GridDynamicZoneSwitch : allows you to specify a layout and/or profile to use when zoning into an instance / arena / battleground. Configuration is pretty self-explanatory.
- GridDynamicLayout : adds a new layout to Grid which dynamically moves people around into four groups (tanks / heals / melee / range) based on what stance / buffs / form they have active. http://www.wowace.com/wiki/GridDynamicLayout for a closer look.

Both are available via wowaceupdater or World of Warcraft Addons - WowAce.com

You only have shamans fitting into the heal group?
[e] Oh nevermind missed the disclaimer you have the bottom.
This is pretty nice, I've been wanting something like this for awhile now.

I have never been able to add odd debuffs to my Grid, I go into Auras, and add the new Debuff Spelling the name correctly with proper capitalization and everything, even setting the Color to a unique color and bumping the priority up to max. Nothing seems to work which is really annoying when I have to watch for Darkshadows Deadly Poison or Illidan's Barrage.

Does this addon package fix this? I update my grid every time I can with Ace Updater, yet nothing seems to work.

Mashing two buttons is the ONLY way to heal.

I can't figure out why that Raid Debuff module requires Big Wigs to be installed.

That just adds the debuff to watch for. You have to then tell Grid where to display that debuff. For example, I have my debuffs showing up in the center frame so I can see the debuff icon when a player is afflicted, so I go to Frame -> CenterIcon -> then check the debuff(s) I want to show up.

I've tried the GridStatusRaidDebuff module when it was first released as an attachment on the wowace.com forums, but never got it to work :/ Has anyone gotten it to work?

 

◊ Sarutobi

Just out of curiosity, since (I don't think) the frames can be dynamically changed during combat, how does it handle feral druids, mainly bear tanks, who are in caster form before the pull, but switch either right before/after the pull into bear form for the rage from furor? Is there any way to have them placed in the correct group aside from forcimg them into a particular group?

 

Ragnor

I installed GridStatusRaidDebuff about 2 weeks ago, set it to display on the center icon and it's working flawlessly for me. I can't imagine using Grid without this module now.

It's in the svn so you can update it with wowaceupdater now or get it directly from Index of /GridStatusRaidDebuff/

You're right, you cannot handle changes in fight, however in the specific case of druids beginning in caster form and switching to bear there is an option (called Statistical Analysis) that detects the probable spec (feral / balance / resto) of the druid. Feral druids in caster/bear form are stuck in the tank group and cat druids in melee DPS. I handle similarly shadowpriests and prot pals.

Grid and Lifebloom

I show if a target is "swift mendable" on ine corner. All hots on another.
To keep control of my LB:s I use:
GridExtraBar
GridStatusLifebloom


Here you see me with a LB.
Left upper corner shows how many LB I have on a target (yellow=1, blue=2 & green=3)

Grid extra bar give me a bar showing the LB timer (Shown with the red arrow).
The LB time can also be show in second also shown in the picture.

I added a color2/color3 option to GridStatusHots to time my Swiftmends better. Right now it's set to go to color2 when there's 4 seconds left, and color3 when there's 2 seconds left. I added it to Rejuv, Regrowth, and Renew, not to Lifebloom because I use GridStatusLifebloom for that.



However, some caveats. If you look at the code for GridStatusHots, you can see that the logic it uses to determine when to remove a hot indicator is to check for the duration of the spell and if the target still has the buff. So in a situation like this:

1. I cast Rejuv on a target
2. Another druid casts Rejuv on that target one second later
3. The other druid Swiftmends the target
4. At this point my GridStatusHots timer will be wrong because it doesn't know that my Rejuv got Swiftmended. The other druid's Rejuv is there, so the indicator won't go away.

Still, could be useful if there aren't many other resto druids in your raids.

Ok

So here's my problem ( if we can call it this )

I've been using grid for the last year and i think it's probably the best thing since slice bread. The thing is, i changed my monitor last week and i need to move my grid aroudn and i'd like to have into only on column ( much like the old perfectraid )

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Someone tell me how to change it

Thank you

@KrinKer

I'm pretty sure you cant do that with Grid. What you have probally seen in other UI's is Pitbull's raid interface.

KrinKer: Get GridHorizontalLayouts. That's what I use to get Grid to behave like this:
