Grid2

Table of Contents

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).

I love this addon after swapping from Grid due to it basically being on life support, but I have a question.

Is there an option (or could it be added) to always show the group's frames I'm in when in raids, even if it's outside the first 4 groups in mythic?

Grid did this, and it was helpful to see when I was swapped out to Group8 between bosses. Grid2 hides all the other groups when in a raid instance regardless if I'm in it, so I don't notice I'm swapped out. The only alternative is to always show every group, but that's unsightly.

Maybe there's some way to do this already, but I couldn't figure it out.

Thanks for all the work on this addon.

Hey All!

Couple of questions if I may:

Is there any way to add an option or otherwise to have the dungeon-role always show, whether or not you're in a group?

Is there a way to separate Melee and Caster into 2 separate roles?

The Original Grid does both of these (via a plugin) which I really miss.

Many Thanks :)

My grid2 layout has changed since the launch of BFA:

While in raid, inside a raidzone, everything is normal.

But while in a raid but OUTSIDE of the raidzone, it all collapses to a bunch of bars and names in a jumble down where my anchor is.

I have not changed any settings since legion, and it seems i cant make the "in raid, but out of zone" layout change at all...

might want to say also that all my different zone/size settings are derived from the same profile.

I can't disable some debuffs (such as Lingering Infection on Vectis) in Raid Debuffs. Basically I tick them off and then they tick on by themselves instantly as I change tab.

Hi guys, I'm out of ideas. I have the same problem with ttplatti in uldir. I have an exhaustion debuff every time after hero and I can't remove it from grid2.

https://imgur.com/a/ArmlnRg

I tried to look for the debuff under custom debuffs but I can't find it. I don't know how else to look for it.

Brute force fix, WARNING all raiddebuffs will be disabled, you must reenable raid debuffs after applying this fix!!!!

Copy paste into game chat the next code:

/script wipe(Grid2.db.profile.statuses["raid-debuffs"].debuffs)

In reply to michaelspain:

Ok this is not working. I think I have a better description of the issue now.

What is happening is:
I enabled debuffs autodetection and assigned it to raid debuffs. So the debuffs get populated somewhere. But I don't know where it is. When I click raid debuffs sidebar, it doesn't show up in any list, anywhere. So now I cannot customize what I see. As a result, the debuffs keep appearing.

What's worse is if I disable autodetection after already detecting some of the debuffs, they do not reset. And therefore whenever I do the instance/raid, it will show up again.

What I would hope to know is where are the autodetected debuffs located. So that I can individually edit out what I don't need.

In reply to thelws38010:

Custom debuffs are located in the database key: Grid2.db.profile.statuses["raid-debuffs"].debuffs

And in the GUI in custom debuffs section. Exhaustion debuff is no special,must be displayed in custom debuffs section like any other autodetected debuff.

You can create a ticket , export your profile (Profiles->Import&export) and paste the text profile in the ticket, so i can investigate the issue.

Any time Holy Word: Salvation finishes casting in a raid, my game freezes for a second. Is it due to the Renew and Prayer of Mending buffs being applied to each raid member? Anything I can do to get rid of that freeze? The cooldown is usually being used at a hectic time during a fight, so freezing up at that moment is really frustrating.

Why do you think the cause of the freeze is Grid2 ?

I'm not certain. Just thought Grid2 is where I clearly track both the Renew and POM buffs. Any suggestions for how to diagnose this issue to find the addon that is causing the freeze?

Issue must be fixed in latest alpha version r832 (If you are using twitch app to download addons, configure twitch to use alpha versions of Grid2. Right Click -> Version Type -> Alpha)

I have my group layout in a certain spot and by default the layout grows downwards once I'm in a raid, thus the raid layout is all over my buttons.

Is there an option to specify in which way a layout is growing or can I specify fixed positions for a group layout that is in a different spot than a raid layout?

In reply to daedalusp1:

General -> General Tab -> Position and Anchor

IF you want layout growing upwards:

* Layout Anchor: BOTTOMLEFT or BOTTOM or BOTTOMRIGHT

And to configure group order:

* GroupAnchor:

Any point containing BOTTOM => groups order: down to up

Any point containing TOP => groups order: up to down

In reply to michaelspain:

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.

But if that is the option to specify the growth directions of layouts the options menu lacks precision at that point, as the tooltip for anchors only says "Sets where Grid is anchored relative to the screen" which I didn't know what to do with, as I've adjusted the layout and orientation options of the frame earlier.

Maybe opt for a tooltip like "Sets where Grid is anchored and which point is being used as the starting point for expanding the frame when using layouts for different group sizes" or something like that to make it clear what that option actually does.

Is there a way to have more than one raid debuff shown at once other than having the debuffs that overlap defined elsewhere? If someone has multiple mine only displays the most recently applied one. The indicator expands as expected when it's a raid debuff and another debuff added separately.

You can use two icon indicators and two raid-debuffs statuses( raid-debuffs & raid-debuffs2).

In reply to ttplatti:

And which grid2 status are you using to display the raid debuffs ?, in grid2 there are many ways to display this kind of information.
