Grid2 - WoW AddOns - WowAce.com

Core rewrite of Grid.

Forum Discussion
Grid2 Defaults
Grid2 universal / shared settings

Status

Alpha version has first cut at layered preferences. It is neither complete nor fully tested. See bold text below for instructions.

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.

I'm getting a white square indicator in the center-bottom even on a level 1 no-anything character and can't figure out what it is. Anyone know? Well, apparently I should have clicked "reset setup" possibly along with just "reset". Deleting my saved variables manually cleared the box. And they came back when I DID use the reset setup button, bah! Aaaaand, apparently that's an indicator for Ice Batter/Armor under "bottom-side" instead of center. Clearing those removes the indicator.

I started to use grid2 for one week, now i use grid2 instead of grid. grid2 is really really nice on performance as i am healer. Keep going! Thank you jerry and Azethoth for creating a lovely grid2!

It was by design, from a time when it just would not work at all. I used to have lots of characters and didn't want to have to disable it for each of them, so I just made it so that I had to enable it on the character I wanted to work on Grid2 with.

I noticed the default state for the addon in the toc is disabled. Is that by design or an accident? If it is by design, why?

@Azethoth & Arkive, thanks, that's just the information I was looking for. Trying out now.

Slickwalker:

My main is a druid and I raid with it using Grid2. Right out of the box the default settings of Grid2, Grid2StatusAFK, Grid2StatusAuraGroup, Grid2StatusGroup, Grid2StatusRes and Grid2StatusTargetIcon give me everything I need to just start healing.

You will likely need to change the scale of Grid2 as it defaults to what works for me. If you need to change a lot more than that then the resetting thing could be an issue.

Grid2RaidDebuffs is updated the day of release of the new content. If you need it earlier for PTR then you will need to research and post in the forums what is required. (So links to buffs in Wowhead's ptr database).

@Arkive: Not a ton, but I am a druid, so I've got 4 hots to monitor, thorns, G/MotW, and raid debuffs as well.

Which brings me to another question. How often are raid debuffs currently being updated?

Slickwalker,

I've been using it for several weeks now without issue, and the updates are very common. Frankly, there's very little configuration associated with the addon unless you do a ton of buff/debuff customization.
