Grid  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 8.0.1.1
by: Phanx [More]

Grid has been continued as Plexus by Doadin. Use that instead; Grid has not been updated since 2018 and will not be updated in the future.

Grid is a compact and highly configurable party/raid unit frame addon.
The compact grid of unit frames lets you select a group member quickly, while keeping a good overview of the whole group. It shows as much information as possible without overloading you. It allows you to customize what information you see, and how you see it. It works in both party and raid groups, and supports pets and vehicles.

Want more features? The Grid core tries to include only features which are generally useful for all classes and roles, but makes it easy to add new features with a simple plugin API for developers. Over 75 third-party plugins are already available!

Type “/grid” for options, or right-click the minimap button, DataBroker launcher, or Grid frame tab.

Language Support
Grid is compatible with all World of Warcraft localizations. It is currently translated into English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Português, Русский, 한국어, 简体中文, and 繁體中文.

To add or update translations for any language, enter them on the WowAce project page. New and updated translations will be automatically included in the next version of Grid!

HINT: The WowAce interface for adding translations is quite cumbersome. To make the process easier, you can use the Export function on WowAce, copy the exported data into your text editor, fill in your translations, and then paste them back into WowAce using the Import function.
Credits
Grid was originally conceived and written by Maia and Pastamancer in late 2006. Phanx has been the primary developer since late 2009. Jerry wrote the original pet support code. Mikk designed the icon. jlam added some advanced options for auras. Greltok has helped a lot with bugfixing. Finally, lots of people have contributed translations!

One question I forgot to ask - does Grid handle the Malkorok fight for healers? I'm talking about the three shield levels that show up on the standard frames. Do I add those myself or is there a plugin that works for it?

I'd suggest just using Grid for a while, and only add more plugins for specific things you noticed were missing for your playstyle. I never needed any other plugins during my ~6 years healing on my shaman, though I did write a plugin back in TBC to combine all of the healing reduction debuffs into one status so I could save time on typing them all in.

Also, if you use click-casting (eg. shift-click on a player's frame to cast Flash of Light on them) you'll want to install Clique. It's not specifically a Grid plugin, but will add click-casting to all the unit frames in your UI, including Grid.
I love clique, right now I use it to utilize my mouse and more keybinds. I actually heal with mouseover macros, but I've considered click casting. Might have to try it soon!

Anyway. Thank you so much for the reply as always Phanx, I appreciate it. While looking for options, yours was the most helpful. I will be installin Grid today along with that plugin for role icons. I look forward to using it!

Again thank you so much!

Hello again Phanx! I keep forgetting you're the author of Grid along with all of your other awesome addons!

I have never used Grid for healing... I've used Vuhdo and Grid 2, so I am wondering if I would need many plugins to go with Grid? I play an hpal, I'd like to watch the typical pally buffs (hands, EF, beacon) and forbearance on my frames, and I also want to see debuffs I can cure and role icons. Does this all come standard with Grid? Are there any plugins I'd need to grab?

I'm just a little worn out by searching for healing addons... needing some help and advice!

Can you provide a screenshot? I'm not really sure what you mean by this.

Also not sure what you mean by "cluster system". Can you be more specific?

Hey - long time grid lover, 5.4 update gave me a bit of extra background outside of the frame with seemingly no way to remove it, had to revert to previous.
Also wondering if possible for a built-in cluster system? Can't manage to get any of the cluster plugins working, looks like they've all been abandoned.

No, the way Grid is written does not support having multiple, separate layout frames.

i apologize if you already answered this, i did not see a search function for the comment section.

i know i can track my renews on people via icon but can i add a countdown timer on top of this icon via grid without adding another addon?

i know i can track earth shield charges this way but was unsure if the same can be done with timers and hots.

thank you for your time.

Remember, guys, the bug tracker is the appropriate place to report bugs -- not comments, which I may not see immediately, but will immediately forget and never read again when I do see them.

Version 5.3.0.1606
  • Fixed errors caused by missing files
