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 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

Grid2 Doesn't Load after Update

If you are updating Grid2 from r560 or older version, you must reset your saved variables (you will lose all your settings), you must see a message in chat window explaining how to reset saved variables.

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).

Anyone know how to get grid2 to organize the party based on Party1, Party2, Party3?

It's really messing with my arena macros when the groups are organized a different way. Like from top (Party1) to bottom (Party3).

In game when I go to options by typing /grid2, and then go to the Raid Debuffs to find the drop down bar for which buffs are enabled, I do not see an option for Antorus. I downloaded/updated the newest version from here.

Is there a way to add an option to have tooltips for debuffs show at the cursor when mousing over them?

I'd like this too. Makes it much easier to learn what the debuffs on them are doing.

Antorus raid debuffs, UNTESTED, made from journal and wowhead for encounter id's. Add to legion file under grid2raiddebuffoptions folder. Once added you must enable in game as they are disabled as default.

https://pastebin.com/wqEUKYPw

11/29/2017: Tested until Eonar, will continue to update until I've killed all of argus heroic.

Is there a way to blacklist Debuff groups using debuff types (eg: Magic, Curse, etc) or add types like "Dispellable" or "Undispellable"?

And a way to filter debuff/buff just for in combat/out of combat status?

I can't find a way to do this.

Hello, I have posted some questions on WoW Ace before, but it looks like the website has changed. Hopefully I am in correct place.

I please need help with adding debuffs that have the same name. In ToV Odyn, all Branded debuffs are called "Branded:" the initial debuffs on the Runebearers' fixate targets are called Branded for all colors (spell 227499, 227500, 557498, 227491, 227490), and then the following Branded debuffs showing which color rune for players to run to to get Protected are also called Branded (spell 229579, 229580, 229581, 229583, 229582.)

I can add one of the spell ID's to create a debuff but cannot add more since they have the same name. If I try to change the name, the debuff icon turns into a general icon and does not show up on my raidframes. I tried the Debuffs option, and created a Debuffs group for the two different sets of Branded. I entered the spell ID's in the field, all the spell names changed to Branded, and they also do not show up on my raidframes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I remember that I previously was able to create seperate icon/debuffs for ones that had the same name (for example, Mark of the Necromancer and the three seperate spell ID's it had.) It would be great though if it was possible to group them all into one of the Debuffs groups, so hopefully there is a way to do that. Sorry for the long post, and thank you for making such a great addon! I have tried everything out there, and Grid2 is by far the best. :)

So if the dungeon role could distinguish between melees and ranges and not just sum it all up as damages that would be great.

/push.

This would be so awsome! Since Powerword: Radiance jumps to the nearest targets, it is mandatory to know if a druid, shaman or hunter is standing in the range or in the meele camp.

RDDs and meeles don't need seperate colums, just meeles before RDDs would be enough. Then you just have to remember who is the first RDD in the List.

If sorting is to much work, or not possible at all, it would be nice to have any distinction at all. Like a Status, so we can give them different Indicators.

@Sellenity

In Patch 7.1 Blizzard has disabled the ability to access unit positions, so aoe heals statuses do not work anymore.
