GridStatusBanzai

A module for Grid.

This mod recalls the "Target of Hostile Units" status in Grid before wow 3.0, which was replaced by Aggro Status using Blizzard threat APIs.

The threat APIs were introduced since WoW 3.0. They are more effecient and don't depend on third-party Libs. But the shortage is that it has a noticeable delay and can't indicate a temporary target change, for example, many bosses have some skills casting to a random non-aggro raid member.

I modified the Lib-Banzai to support GUID, and combined it with the former GridStatusAggro.lua, to make it a separated module.

    I found it weird that the suggested fix on Curse would need to edit the Grid.lua. So I did some tinkering myself. The follwoing changes to GridStatusBanzai.toc and embeds.xml fixed the problem for me. I don't really have a clue about Lua, just looked how the other Grid modules do it ;).

    GridStatusBanzai.toc:

    ## Interface: 30100
## Title: GridStatusBanzai
## Notes: The former GridStatusAggro in 2.4
## Dependencies: Grid
## OptionalDeps: Ace2
## X-Curse-Packaged-Version: 1.0
## X-Curse-Project-Name: GridStatusBanzai
## X-Curse-Project-ID: gridstatusbanzai
## X-Curse-Repository-ID: wow/gridstatusbanzai/mainline

## added:
embeds.xml
##
GridStatusBanzai.lua

    embeds.xml:

    <Ui xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/
..\FrameXML\UI.xsd">
<Include file="Libs\LibBanzai-2.0-GUID\lib.xml"/>
<!-- removed: -->
<!--Script file="GridStatusBanzai.lua"/-->
</Ui>

    Thanks a lot for the addon. Finally I am able to safe tanks again in a messy situation before they get annihilated by hard hitting mobs.
