Core rewrite of Grid.

Grid2 or options do not work or I think I Found a Bug

  • Update to the latest versions of Grid2 and the plugins listed below that you use.
    • Click on the Grid2 link below to see its file section. Click on the top .zip file. Do NOT click on the -nolib file.
    • For each and every plugin that you have, click on its link and also download its latest version. Do NOT click on the -nolib file.
    • Please do not use the nolib files. They are an abomination and waste my time and your time.
  • Reset your Saved Variables (SV):
    • Click: options/debugging/Reset
    • Or paste into chat: /script Grid2DB = nil; Grid2OptionsDB = nil; ReloadUI()
  • Make sure you downloaded the mods WITH libs. nolib is not for you.
  • Make sure you enable both the mod and plugins and their options. Grid2 will not work without all enabled.
  • 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.

Latest Versions

I recommend using the latest alphas. Use curse client to download them by setting preferred release type to alpha. Alternatively follow these links to the current set of working Grid2 plugins.

Non working

(jerry) Theses addons are not supported anymore. Their license do not allow modification and they probably do not work with wow 4.

Miscelaneous

(jerry) Theses addons are not supported anymore. Their license do not allow modification and they probably do not work with wow 4.

Do not use the following experimental plugins. They are non-working experiments.

  • Grid2Alert
  • Grid2IndicatorButton
  • Grid2IndicatorManabars

Status

The beta versions have fairly functional layered preferences. Grid2 is neither complete, fully fleshed out, nor bug free.

  • The core engine is quite functional, release quality.
  • The options UI in terms of defaults is solid, and beta / release quality.
  • The options UI in terms of editing is alpha quality
  • If this works for you then use it, if not use classic Grid.
  • For the foreseeable future the code will sometimes change in ways that require a complete reset of saved variables (SV) + UI reload. Resetting SV should be the first thing to try in case you get an error from Grid2.
  • This really is beta software. Please update to the latest versions of all Grid2 components listed above before logging a bug.
  • If you are not comfortable with an update requiring you to set things up again from scratch then you probably should use another raid frame.

What is Different

  • The focus is on performance. No more AceOO with deep call chains for example.
  • All Config is load on demand so it does not interfere with regular use of Grid2.
  • Indicators are separate from Statuses and reusable and placeable anywhere in a single grid cell.
  • Non-unique indicators (icon, square, text, etc.) can be created in whatever quantities you need.

What to Expect

Jerry wrote the core runtime. This is quite mature and functional.

Toadkiller (Azethoth) wrote an initial version of the Grid2 config. It is and will be in a primitive state for some time to come as I have joined a startup and am unlikely to do much coding. Volunteers needed.

The current version has decent and quite full featured defaults for healers. Defaults for non healers is still a work in progress.

Plugins

  • The infrastructure for Status plugins is the most mature. Authors of Status plugins can port their plugins now or wait for an official beta. There is no documentation, but lots of example code in the current set.
  • It is probably possible to create Indicators at this point as well. See the Grid2IndicatorButton code for an example.
  • Other plugin types still need to be fleshed out with good examples and support code.
  • Post in the forums if you need help.
