Grid

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!

It's not. WoW is notoriously bad at correctly identifying the actual source of "taint", which is what happens when addon code touches something. Normally taint is fine (and it's unavoidable since all addon code is automatically considere "tainted") but it becomes a problem when it spreads into "secure" parts of the default UI.

All that error means is that somewhere, at some time, Grid may have touched something, that touched something else, that touched something else, that 27 steps down the chain, met something that was touched in a bad way by another addon 8 steps back up a different chain, and then in 3 more steps there was an attempt (by someone, which could be Grid, the other addon, a third unrelated addon, or even the default UI code) to touch something in a "secure" code path that fails because of the earlier bad touch.

Grid shouldn't really be tainting anything, since it creates all of its own frames and doesn't modify any Blizzard frames, but it probably is if it's getting blamed in an "action blocked" error. Unfortunately I can't test this very effectively since I haven't had an active account in about 2 years now and therefore can't access any group content, let alone raids, but if you see this error fairly consistently, you can gather some helpful information by doing this:

1. Type "/taintlog 2" to enable taint logging with detail level 2 (out of 3)
2. Reload your UI (the setting takes effect immediately, but the taint probably already happened, so you want to start fresh to capture it)
3. Play until you get the error again
4. Without logging out, find the "taint.log" file in your "World of Warcraft/Logs" folder. Upload it somewhere (it will be quite large, possibly several MB) and post a link to it here, along with the full text of the error message (not just the first line).

Use "/taintlog 0" to turn off taint logging after you're done; otherwise the log file will continue to grow to infinity and beyond.

Re: BFA update

Bare minimum updates required to work as-is and not throw errors? Yes.

Anything beyond that? Maybe, but probably not. I haven't had an active WoW subscription in over 2 years now, and haven't done any serious raiding since Wrath, which was about 8 years ago. I took over Grid after its original author quit WoW at the end of Burning Crusade and nobody else was patching it. I've been hoping for years now that someone will show some interest in at least fixing some of the outstanding bugs, but apart from one person who helped out a bit in mid-Mists of Pandaria, that hasn't happened.

While I'm still maintaining most of my addons at a basic level, Grid really needs more than "basic level" attention at this point, and it's impossible to test changes without an active subscription (since the low level characters I can log into on an inactive account can't join raid groups) so I'm pretty limited in what I can fix or change.

Right now, I don't have BFA beta access, and don't expect to get a beta invite since my account is inactive, so there won't be a Grid update until the expansion pre-patch goes live (or the expansion itself, if there isn't a pre-patch like there usually is). If you're feeling adventurous, you can download untested BFA updates from GitHub (https://github.com/phanx-wow/Grid) but it's likely that more updates will be needed that aren't listed in the official "API changes in the expansion" thread.

If you have any programming experience, you can take a look through the list of outstanding issues and the source code and see what you can do. If you're familiar with Git at all, opening a pull request on GitHub is preferred, but if you're not, you can just provide a patch, or even a modified file.

lloda A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Thank you Phanx for your reply, hopefully someone pick up the project and help. To be honest, even though Grid may need more options and tweaks, I feel that as a long user it is giving me all what I need from a healer PoV, considering that it has been working wonderfully during the current patch. Sadly I lack programming knowledge else I would help without hesitation. I bookmarked the untested files, will test them as soon as I get beta access or much later when patch goes live.

Can you help a noob out? I've downloaded your folder Grid-master and Grid-Extra-master but I'm not exactly sure what I should be doing.

Should I leave my old Grid folders in AddOns? Or should I delete those completely and just use Grid-master?

When downloading the zip directly, this will happen, just remove the "-master". You will want to copy your current (before replacing) versions 'AddOns/Grid/Libs' directory into the new version.

Re: Question

I think you might have posted on the wrong page. The screenshot you posted is of the default unit frames, which have nothing to do with Grid, the addon this page is for.

If you did mean to ask a question about Grid, please try to explain more what you're trying to do.

LibRestInfo bug

Thanks for the update!

I'm getting bugs when logging into Dalaran relating to the "LibResInfo" library found in Grid (at level 110 in BFA).

EDIT: I found your GitHub LibResInfo project page and submitted this as an issue there too.

Re: 1 Pixel border

This is caused by your UI Scale setting (for WoW as a whole; it's not specific to Grid) not being set correctly for your monitor and chosen screen resolution; the issue is that "1 pixel" according to the WoW UI no longer aligns with the physical pixels in your monitor. I don't remember offhand how to determine what the correct settings are, since it's been 2+ years since I logged into the game for anything other than addon development, but searching the forums for "pixel perfect ui scale" should find you some suggestions.
