Grid and Party Monitoring?

[death]

is it possible to set Grid up so that your party is in the same area of Grid?

[Apps]

yes, there is about a hundred posts about this very topic already.

short version.
Download Grid
Download GridCustomLayouts

Run both addons.
Log in.
Click on GridCustomLayouts button. Its a HUGE button.
Click the "NEW" button.
set up your team by, name, class, race, title, color, reverse order, whatever....
Click "Save"

Do this for all windows.

ive got it set in grid like this

Exey,Ewey,Euey,Eqey;sortMethod = "LIST"
n1;NOR
n2;NOR
n3;NOR
n4;NOR

is there any way i can get Grid to stay with the toons in that order?

[Ualaa]

I use:
ToonA,ToonB,ToonC,ToonD;NAME
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8;5/8;NAME;NR

I have every toon on all teams listed on line one.
Ending with a semi-colon and NAME (in caps).
This lists those toons who are in the raid/battleground/group, in column one.

On line two, I'm instructing Grid to list every toon in groups 1-8.
It lists them in a 5 row deep, 8 columns wide Grid.
Again NAME is listed, which makes the sorting alphabetical.
The NR means No Repeating, meaning if my toons are listed in column one (which they always will be), they will not also be listed elsewhere (such as in column 2-8).



If you were to omit the second line.
It would display Toon A, Toon B, etc.
And nothing else, and in an alphabetical sort for all toons.

you know you have to do that for each toon right?

go into gridcustomlayout for EACY toon. And either type the same layout config for each, or copy and paste it from the first one you did.

yes ive done that but it is putting them in the specific order id like them to be in

most of the time it puts them in 4,2,3,1 instead of 1,2,3,4, its annoying, as i have my heals on f1-f4 with the corresponding toon

[Apps]

ok, do this then.

Create New.
And use the chooser.

(tip, put raid targets over the toons heads in the order you want.)
Start with the first one being {Star} then {Circle} etc etc. And use one account and click the choose button.
get that list in order as you like it, hit save.

highlight that list, and copy with CTRL+C.

Go to the remaining toons and, open, make new, press CTRL+V. Save.

You should now have the setup as 4,2,3,1 for each toon, set up in a newly named profile.

Now, everytime you start your team, you will need to select those named profiles, but the work is done, and you can just play.

just tried that, did not make any difference. can you not set grid to have a defined order?. like everytime i invite grid would be set to: Exey, Ewey, Euey, Eqey in that order from left to right

[Apps]

yes, but you have to do it for each screen.
Make new,
and type Exey,Ewey,Euey,Eqey;NAME

No spaces between commas and semi colon.

Just like Ualaa has it written.

When I am configuring my UI or an addon...
I use mouse repeater and key repeater on, with key maps off.

That way, everything is absolutely identical on all screens.

is there a way it can be put in reverse alphabetical?

and wow clique is amazing

[death]

got it :D

Exey,Ewey,Euey,Eqey;sortMethod = "NAME"
n1;NOR
n2;NOR
n3;NOR
n4;NOR

except id like to reverse order it, but not sure how to

[Akoko]

Exey,Ewey,Euey,Eqey;sortMethod = "NAME"
n1;NOR
n2;NOR
n3;NOR
n4;NOR

I've tried using this for my GridCustomLayout but it does not work, it seems to ignore the order of toons I put it in and simply orders them alphabetically, without a Lua error. I have the latest versions of all addons. Anyone know what's going wrong?

Jenzula,Jenzulu,Jenzala,Jenzalu,Jenzuli;sortMethod = "NAME"
n1;NOR
n2;NOR
n3;NOR
n4;NOR
n5;NOR

My grid ordering is showing Jenzala, Jenzalu, Jenzula, Jenzuli, Jenzulu which is alphabetical and not what I'm looking for.

[Ztar]

I would say if you don't want sorting by name "..sortMethod = "NAME"" should not be used. Since it states - sort by name.

Not sure what you should put there in stead. Apparently the default sort order is INDEX so just leaving "sortMethod = "NAME"" out might give you the result your looking for.... but again i'm not sure what INDEX refers to...

But have a look at the Grid Custom layout page on curse.com
All the attributes i listed there....

my toon names starting tank to healer in the order i log in
Bigbosstank Frelann Crem Zenin Krissa Krissa is my healer priest

so in my grid new layout how would this go to work and where name is would that be name of my team or is it name

[Ualaa]

An alphabetical sort would get you:
Bigbosstank
Crem
Frelann
Krissa
Zenin

Beyond an alphabetical sort, I'm not sure how to have the names in exactly the same order on every window.
Name is an easy sort.

but so far so good thanks for the help
