Grid2
What is Grid2 ?
Grid2 is a party/raid unit frame addon.
Grid2 is fully customizable. New zones (indicators) can be defined in unit frames to display information (statuses). The indicators can be customized and placed anywhere. Grid2 supports several types of indicators: icon, icons, square, text, bar, multibar. You can configure what statuses are displayed on each indicator.
Grid2 includes a huge amount of available statuses, but not all enabled be default, look through the configuration and familiarize yourself with the available options and statuses.
Grid2 is fast: consumes between 4 and 10 times less CPU cycles than other similar addons.
To open the configuration UI type "/grid2", left-click the minimap Icon, DataBroker icon launcher or use WoW addons list window.
Grid2 components
Grid2 package includes:
- Grid2
- Grid2 Options
- Grid2 Raid Debuffs
- Grid2 Raid Debuffs Options
- Grid2 LDB
Grid2 does not work or I think I found a bug
- Update to the latest versions of Grid2.
- Make sure you downloaded the mods WITH libs. nolib is not for you.
- Reset your Saved Variables, pasting into chat: /script Grid2DB = nil; ReloadUI()
- If you still get an error, go ahead and log it. Install and use the BugGrabber and BugSack mods to record the error and make it easy to cut and paste it.
- Then, Post a ticket. Check for existing tickets about your bug first. Remember to check back on your ticket later in case we need more information.

Common issues/FAQ
Raid debuffs not showing up !!!:
Raid debuffs are not enabled by default. Go to statuses -> Raid Debuffs and enable at least the Cataclysm module (if you are inside a instance you must exit and enter the instance or reload the UI after enabling the module)
I cant push the grid boxes as close together as before:
The border indicator has 2 pixels size and it has a transparent background color now. If you want the old grid2 appearance. Goto Indicators -> border -> Layout tab: Set a border size 1. And select a black and opaque background color for the border.
What about mana bars ?
Grid2 supports mana bars, but they are not created by default. If you want mana bars, create a new indicator of type "bar", place it wherever you want and map the "mana" or the "power" status to it (remember you must map some color status to the bar:color indicator too).
What is the poweralt status ?
Poweralt status is a power type (like mana/rage/energy,etc). This power type is enabled by Wow in some combats. It shows: Atremedes sound, Chog'al corruption, etc. This status is not active by default in Grid2: you must map poweralt to any compatible indicator (text or bar indicator).

Posted Jul 16, 2019It's not possible to change the layout in combat, so that could not work in a lot of cases, like world quests or LFR, the only secure moment to change the layout is on entering in a instance.
It's problematic too for non casual raiding, you don't want to see people in raid but waiting outside the instance.

Posted Jul 16, 2019Im not quiet sure if im too dumb to do it or if it doesnt work properly. I've got the following problem:
When i try to assign the differnt themes i created to a specific raidsize it only works with the party theme (5 players). All the other themes wont be activated when im in a raid with the specific raidsize.
It will always choose the 40 man frames if i created them or switch to 30man frames if i enter a flex raid.
I would like them to switch purely based on raidsize rather than the content im doing.
Maybe im doing it wrong?

Grid2 used the instance raid max size, not the current number of players in raid. So for a flex instance the 30 man raid size theme is selected.

Very unfortunate
Its always kinda weird joining a 17 player raid and get the 30 man frames,
Thx anyway, keep it up.

Posted Jul 13, 2019Is it possible to reduce the alpha of frames when a target is above a certain threshold of health (say 90%). I'm switching from healbot and that's the one missing feature that I'd really like to implement if possible.
To further explain, I'd like the frames to be faded out until a target falls below 90% hp. This helps me with overhealing, thanks!

Not possible.
Update: Well you can assign the "health-current" status to the health-bar color, and in the health-current options you can change the opacity of the full health color, but a threshold cannot be configured.

Posted Jul 11, 2019I'm not sure if this has been answered somewhere, but I can't find it. Anyhow, I keep enabling Auto-detect raid debuffs but it seems like every time I relog it disables it and I have to reenable it. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if there's something I need to do on my end to fix this.

Posted Jul 11, 2019In reply to Niketa:
Working as intended, autodetect option is disabled on UI Reload or logout. This option is used to collect the raid debuffs, so you only need to use it once per encounter, after the debuffs are collected (and you can see the Debuffs in the Debuffs Tab) you don't need to keep the option enabled.
After the debuffs are collected you can go to the debuffs tab and configure the debuffs according to the combat strategy and your role (changing priorities or removing debuffs you really don't want to take care, etc.). So reenabling the autodetect option usually is not a good idea because could change the debuffs configuration (for examply re-applying removed debuffs).
if you simply want to see the raid debuffs without any futher setup, because you don't want/need to micro-manage the combat debuffs configuration you dont need to use raid debuffs, goto:
Statuses->Debuffs->Right panel
Create a "Debuffs" type status, link this new status to icon-center indicator, and in the status configuration enable only "Boss Debuffs" filter, in this way you will see the important boss debuffs (the debuffs blizzard think are relevant for every combat) , without any further config.

Posted Jul 9, 2019Hey, just saw that Eternal Palace and Mechagon are not listed.
Is there a way to add this instances (myself I mean) inside the Battle for Azeroth module (using this one, it would be easier for me than switching entirely and re-configuring with custom module) ? Or do you plan to add the raid yourself in the module for tomorrow ?
Thank you very much ! :)

I will add new raid debuffs and instances, i need to gather the info. You can enable the "autoselect" option in raidebuffs, and on entering the instances the new instances will be created in the raid debufs configuration.

Posted Jul 3, 2019So I figured out the issue is in arena it was for some reason using my by raid size 40 man layout instead of the arena one. Deleting that by raid size layout fixed the issue.

Posted Jul 3, 2019In reply to SaintEcho:
The addon uses 40 as default value if the game does not provide the maxPlayers for the instance, could you tell me in which arena or arenas happen this behaviour ?
Could you enable debugging (General->About->Click Grid2 toggle) and paste here the grid2 "GroupChanged"messages that are displayed in chat on entering inside arena ?

Posted Jun 22, 2019Is there already a feature to, or can you guys make a feature to edit and make duplicates of an existing status? Or copy and paste configurations of each status (buffs and debuffs) to others? Or make the program cross-language?
There are a lot of great profiles that people uploads, but it is impossible to use any of them if their client is in a different language because the name of each skill is different and grid2 does not recognize any of them. It is really tedious work to copy all the settings one by one. It would be really nice if I could just change the skill's name to something else or if the program recognizes the skill via its spell ID so that I don't have to go through all these processes.

Skills are language independent if the buff/debuff is created using the spellID, unfortunatelly its more easy to simply use the spell name, and the game does not provide a simple way to translate a spell name to the SpellID.
Maybe i could add a button to change the spell name (but not the indicator name, this is much more hard).
Update: Version 888-alpha has a new option to change the spell name or spellID of single buffs/debuffs.
