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).

\Grid2RaidDebuffsOptions\RaidDebuffsBfA.lua

is quite incomplete and lacks a lot of, mostly mythic, mechanics.
Here is an updated version of the Uldir segment:

Is there a way within grid2 to control the size of the frame via a slash command like you can in vudoh, trying to do custom WA to auto adjust size.

Pretty much something like this

/grid-width(200) or something.

VUHDO_slashCmd("opt")

VuhDoNewOptionsPanelSizeSizePanelButtonWideSliderSlider:SetValue(119)

In latest versions >=823-alpha you can use:

Grid2Frame:SetFrameSize(width)

Grid2Frame:SetFrameSize(nil,height)

Grid2Frame:SetFrameSize(width,height)

FIX FOR THE "RIGHT CLICK MENU FEATURE"

Interface>Addons>Grid2>GridFrame.lua

Open the bolded file with a text editor.

function Grid2Frame:RegisterFrame(frame)
GridFrame_Init(frame, self:GetFrameSize())
frame:RegisterForClicks("AnyUp")
self.registeredFrames[frame:GetName()] = frame

Add the bolded line into the exact position as seen above. It should be about halfway through the .lua file.

Thank you your great work.

It would be really nice if two sliders could be added to the option panel to control the exact position of the entire frame, just for aesthetic purpose.

Right click menu does not work for me,

When i go into gridlayour.lua and change the self:SetAttribute("*type2", "menu") to

self:SetAttribute("alt-type1", "menu") [This makes menu Alt + Left Click] it will work.

But anything that has type2 for mouse button 2 does not.

I finally managed to fix it after months of trying.

Interface>Addons>Grid2>GridFrame.lua

Open the bolded file with a text editor.

function Grid2Frame:RegisterFrame(frame)
GridFrame_Init(frame, self:GetFrameSize())
frame:RegisterForClicks("AnyUp")
self.registeredFrames[frame:GetName()] = frame

Yes in my harddisk, but unfortunatelly i dont know the BfA instanceMap identifiers (returned by running /script print(select(8, GetInstanceInfo())) inside every instance), so i cannot publish an updated version until BfA release.

Grid2 does not open a right click menu unless if you use an addon like Clickit or what not. Never used it, don't want it. So after looking through forums I found a post that mentioned a fix. If you would like a right click menu with Grid2 you can follow these steps:

Navigate to your Grid2 addon folder: ...\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Grid2

Open the GridFrame.lua file with a text editor. You can right click on the file -> Open with... -> Notepad (if you don't see Notepad, click on "More apps")

Press Ctrl + F to open the Find pop-up.

Type in: GridFrame_Init

Click "Find Next."

Close the Find pop-up.

Scroll to the end of the "GridFrame_Init" function where you see the next "end" statement that is not tabbed over; Flush with the left edge.

Type in the following code right before that "end" statement and right after the "ClickCastFrames[frame] = true" statement: RegisterForClicks("AnyUp")

Save the file by pressing Ctrl + S.

Close Notepad.

Launch the WoW or type "/reload" into the chat pane, if the game is already running, to refresh your addons.

Good luck!

---- Edit ----

Not working anymore in Grid2-r817-alpha

In reply to bukkit_User90926693:

I had the same issue. I downloaded the new release and deleted the saved variables. You will have to redo your settings again, but it works.

The saved variables are located in:

...\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\<Account#>\SavedVariables

Look for any files that start with "Grid2" and delete them.

------- Edit -------

After setting up my new Grid2 again... I found out that the issue for the black bars (loosing indicators) is with the "Voice" indicator. If you have a voice indicator, uncheck it. Should be good then.
