Unit Frame Addon Suggestions - Specific Needs

[dariuslloyd]

Heya,

What I am looking for is a unitframes addon, both groups and raids, where you can control the order of the names. Also, I want my own character to be included. For instance, X-perl player frame has all 4 other members of the party, but no option to include yourself. The reason I need to be able to control the order, including the character its running on, is so I can duplicate exact unit frame layouts on two characters that I am multiboxing. I am working on getting some click healing working, but in order to do it I need to have the unit frames exactly the same so that If I click "playerA" on toon1, its will click "playerA" on toon2 in the same position.

Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

You and every other multi-boxer! :P

Let us know if you find one.

Well, PitBull is configurable as hell, and the names can be sorted by name... also, the player can be included into the party frame... I think that's what you're looking for....

RDX does exactly this.

Notice that each of the windows has teh same order on the unit frames, you can also completely customize any frame size, shape, etc...

Awesome, thanks guys. I will take a look at setting it up tomorrow. Appreciate it!

I wonder if it would be possible to go in and tweak the default sorting order of the party frames that all addons use... I may have to take a look into that once I get everything settled in.

RDX does exactly this.

http://www.openrdx.com/ Since you apparently use this, does it support things like debuff coloring? Aggro indicators? Clique support?

Apologies if this is covered in the site's wiki (which I didn't read much of). If so, just tell me to go RTFM. When I recover from my hangover tomorrow, I'll go look into it a bit more.

I prefer GRID. I can set it up to show up to 5, 5 with pets, 10, 10 with pets, 15, ect.... up to 40 man raid. You can have it show in horizontal rows or vertical columns (i switch depending on the size of the group). You can also set the order. It can devide the rows by party or by class. With grid you see who has aggro, who has an incoming heal and who has a debuff that needs fixing. It shows low health warnings and dead warnings.

HPB,

Could you please tell me how to set the order in a 5 man party? I have found addons which allow you to customize raid order, but none for party, nor have found a default option to do so. I may be blind, please advise!

Thanks!

My search for the perfect unit frame is making me sad. :(

Pitbull does not allow you to sort the order of party frame nor does it include the player in the party.

RDX.. I have no idea how to even approach that.

Grid would be perfect except the only sorting I can find only works in "raids" and not in just a single party not in raid mode. If anyone.. please, knows how to do this, let me know! It would help SO much!

Once I get the right addon, I should be able to get click healing work from playing a tank np!

But it does, you just haven't found the option yet... keep looking, I'm not on WoW atm and won't be anymore tonight, but if you're still interested, I can look that up for you tomorrow...

Gonna turn off my PCs now and watch a movie before heading to bed :D

I am SO interested. If there is a way please show me. You will be my saving grace if you can help me out! Thanks again.

[dariuslloyd]

Woot figured it all out, so many damn options on this thing no wonder i couldnt find it when i was tired. Thanks again.

Now to redo my whole UI ..

[Tizer]

Would you mind explaining where the option is?

In Pitbull settings:

Party -> Other -> Grouping -> X sort by name
Party -> Other -> X show player in party
Party -> Other -> _ hide party frames in raid
