Grid in a 40-man raid.

About Grid

Grid is a modular, lightweight and screen-estate saving grid of party/raid unit frames based on Ace2 and various embedded libraries provided by the Ace-community. It's currently in beta.

Read This

Due to its flexible design, Grid has a fairly daunting configuration menu. I suggest taking a few minutes to look through the configuration and familiarize yourself with the options available to you.

There's a very small User's Guide that needs some love but may be helpful in its current state.

How to report a bug

Before reporting a bug, check the bugtracker to see if the bug you were going to report has already been reported!

After verifying that your bug hasn't been reported (or resolved!), create a new ticket.

Please be sure to include the following information in the ticket:

  • Grid version (ex: r16623 from wowace.com/files)
  • WoW version and language (ex: 1.12 enUS)
  • What you were doing when the bug occured
  • What happened (ie. what the bug is)
  • Any error messages if applicable (Please use BugSack to get a full stack trace for the error message)
  • A complete list of addons you have installed
  • A screenshot if it is a graphical bug

Please check on your ticket daily. If a ticket is waiting on a response from you for more than 7 days, I will assume that you have fixed the problem yourself and have abandoned the ticket.

Design overview

Grid is based on the concept of statuses and indicators.

Each indicator can only show one status at a time. This is where the priority system comes into play. The highest priority in-range status will be displayed. Indicators are only updated when a status is gained or lost on the unit. Status setting changes only take effect when a new StatusGained event is sent.

Each status consists of the following:

name
The internal name used by Grid to identify the status.
description
The name displayed in Grid's menus.
priority
A number from 0 (lowest) to 99 (highest).
range (optional)
If specified, the status will only be shown if the unit is within range yards of the player.
color
A color (including alpha) to be used when the status is displayed.
text
A short message to be used when the status is displayed.
value (optional)
If specified, value will be used to set the current value of a statusbar indicator.
maxValue (optional)
If specified, maxValue will be used to set the maximum value of a statusbar indicator.
texture (optional)
If specified, texture will be used to display an image.

The GridFrame module implements several indicators:

Center Text
Displays the text of the status using the color.
Border
Displays the color of the status as a 2px border around the unit frame.
Health Bar
Sets the value of the health bar based on value and maxValue. Sets the color based on the color.
Healing Bar
Sets the value of the healing bar based on value and maxValue.
Four Corners (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right)
Displays the color of the status as a small box in the corner of the unit frame.
Center Icon
Displays the texture of the status as an icon in the center of the unit frame.
Frame Alpha
Sets the alpha (fade) of the frame based on the alpha of the color.

    Hey
    I'm having a problem not getting physical stuns up in the center-icon (rogue/druid). I am, however, getting the magical stuns, like Hammer of Justice / Repentance. This because these are considered magical debuffs. The problem is that it doesn't stand a "Debuff: Physical" (or whatever), just for magic, disease, poison and curse (I think). I never had this problem before, I remember that it used to stand Kidney Shot / Cheap Shot / xxxx in the center icon before.

    So the question is, what should I do to make the "physical stuns" appear in the center icon? This is very vital for me to have in party-frames as a active pvp'er.

    In beforehand, thanks!

    I built my wife's UI with grid and I built mine with grid, on hers you can right click on anyone in grid and get the standard submenu Set Focus, Whisper, Trade, etc etc but on mine nothing happens when I right click on any grid, I can left click to select the person then right click on my targets portrait to get the submenu, I tried turning off all my add-ons but it still doesn’t do it, any idea what i'm missing?

    Do you have any plans of adding functionality such as Auto Resize (Based on group/location/etc), Mana Bars, or HoTs such as the other plugin addons?

    I'm having to double click grid frames to make them select, not using clique or any other fancy mods. Didn't do this a couple weeks ago what up.

    is their a way to get this to show who has my prayer of mending and how many charges are left?

    I LOVE this add on. Absolutely my favorite add on I have aside from Carbonite. A quick question though... Prayer of Healing now affects your targets group rather than just your own. Will this be updated? I can live without it but I was just curious. Again, my most necessary and used add on, thank you so much for making this.

    Does anyone know how to make this addon larger? Usually I am good with these kind of things but I can't find anything in the options menu. I play at a really large resolution and it is difficult to make out names and health for classes while using this addon.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello, i'm currently using grid along with Shadowedunitframes and I keep getting a Grid error:

    gridframe.lua:391 usuage:: setfont ("font", fontheight [,flags])

    This may be caused by grid or SUF, I'm not sure, but can anyone please help?

    Is there an option to turn on an indicator for Kel Thuzad Frost blocks? When looking at grid it does not show who is frost blocked.

    You can add it to the list of Auras: Debuffs, and then go to the Center Icon Display in the Status drop down and click on Center Icon Display and add the new aura you created to the Center Icon Display. You can do this with pretty much any debuff (I personally have ones for Mark of the Faceless from Vezax, and Plasma Blast from Mimiron.)

    When you disconnect in combat and log back in, Grid is broken.

    Is this fixable? I know x-perl doesnt mess up

    When i'm in a raid....grid jumbles the group order..... so like i'm no longer player 1 in my group....so if i forget and hit F1 i get the wrong target. Can grid be set to keep group order and not raid order.
