  • About Grid2
  •  

Core rewrite of Grid.

Forum Discussion
Grid2 Defaults
Grid2 universal / shared settings

Status

  • The core engine is quite functional, solid beta quality.
  • The options UI in terms of defaults is solid, and beta / release quality.
  • The options UI in terms of editing is alpha quality
  • If this works for you then use it, if not use classic Grid.
  • For the foreseeable future the code will occasionally change in ways that will require a complete reset of saved variables + UI reload (There is a button for this in the debug options). Using this button should be the first thing to try in case you get an error from Grid2.
  • If you are not comfortable with an update requiring you to set things up again from scratch then you need to wait for it to hit a beta or release phase.

What is Different

  • The focus is on performance. No more AceOO with deep call chains for example.
  • All Config is load on demand so it does not interfere with regular use of Grid2.
  • Indicators are separate from Statuses and reusable and placeable anywhere in a single grid cell.

What to Expect

Toadkiller (Azethoth) wrote an initial version of the Grid2 config. It is and will be in a primitive state for some time to come as I have joined a startup and am unlikely to do much coding. Volunteers needed.

The current version has decent and quite full featured defaults for healers. It has no multi-character support though. If you heal on more than one class/spec you most likely need to use regular Grid for some of them.

    Very nice addon, I really like it alot!

    Question: Is there a possibility to color the background of the single player frames/boxes according to their health? eg. 80-100%=green, 60=80%=yellow, 0-20%=red, ... If not, is it possible to color the background in a single color, preferably red.

    And a sugguestion/request: The page where you can select which condition are shown. It would be very nice if these conditions would be sorted by priority. Top priority condition on top, lowest on the bottom of the page. If this is not possible, it would be nice if the priority would be printed next to the condition, eg
    Low Health [80]
    Aggro Alert [99]
    Low Mana [20]
    This would make it much easier to see what will be highligted/printed.

    Thanx again for this addon!

    I just wanna warn people who use this addon, that for me the latest version of the plugin aura status group breaks grid2 so that people boxes are black and i cant reach options, so if you have an error try to disable it first. I solved it by getting a earlier version of the aura status group.

    Same problem of SilencerFA

    Solved it by deleting the grid2.* files in the WTF Folder

    One Suggestion to Jerry:

    Could you add one option to the icon-indicator?

    "Don't show Icon/Status if dead"

    Because some raid-debuffs like the Auras at the Twin Valkyrs remain if the target is dead. If you have bigger icons (because you don't want to watch at grid all the time), they'll cover the dead people.


    Greetings

    Timo

    From time to time, we change the way Grid2 configuration is layout in ways that are incompatible with previous version. This may cause errors to occur.

    The first thing to try would be to reset your profile (there is a button for this in the configuration panel).

    As for your suggestion, could you please open a ticket for it, so that it's not forgotten ?

    I don't see any option to change all the class colours..

    In the normal grid i had all class colours RED which was awsome plz fix ;)

    Also the Beacon of Light from paladins doesn't work. I put beacon of light on Top left corner and when i put it on someone nothing shows :(
    anyways this was a great addon ;) only those two things i'm desperate for you to fix ;)

    I would love if i could see the players mana bars, or something that represents others mana, at grid1 there was a plugin, gridmanabars, but i would love if there would be a built in possibility for this.
    Away from this i really love this new version, as a resto druid i can see all my hots, with counters, and 3 colors for lifebloom. Keep on the good job.

    Since this is a complete re-write, I was wondering if you could add an option to show test bars for every layout. I would love to be able to pull up all 25 bars at once to show me the entire size of the grid so that I can resize and adjust for my UI layout. With only having the one bar showing, it is hard to get an overall grid size without actually being in a group of the size you want to set up.

    I think the best thing that you can do is go to a a battleground like Alterac Valley since the place doesn't really require you to interact with your inviroment in the same way it would do, if you were in a 25man raid with your guild.

    As the original Grid, Grid2 rely on Blizzard code to create and layout frames (since that's the only way that works during combat). Because of this, a great amount of code would be needed to be able to add a test mode. It would also very likely impact in a negative way to the performance of the addon even when not testing stuff.

    Because of all this, I do not want to code a test mode. I even would be reluctant to include a test mode if it was written by someone else, unless I like the solution adopted to handle the case of mapping cells to non existant units.

    Is there any way to display the text "MT" for the Main-tanks in Grid2? For Grid there was an addon called "GridStatusMTs", is this possible with just Grid2 or do I need an extra addon for something like that (showing the text "MT" for the MTs)? ^^

    It's being worked on all the time over at wowace:

    http://www.wowace.com/projects/grid2/

    However it is still tagged as at the alpha development stage over there, experimental, and therefore not updated here.
