VuhDo vs Grid vs Healbot : How to order my team with a custom order ?

[Baltyre]

I use a 5 box team, a Paladin and 4 slaves, let says : Oney, Twoik, Twrey, Fourak. (The name of my characters are in french, but it's kind of the same deal) So i know where to look in my screen when something came up about one of them.

I want to use a healbot like addon with isboxer repeter, but i don't want to order by alphabetic or index i want a custom order :

-> I didn't found any option in Healbot.
-> I try in vain in Grid.

In Vuhdo i end up hacking the way it order by max hp adding that in the VuhDoPanel.lua :

                    if (tInfo1["name"] == "Noktu") then
                        tInfo1["sortMaxHp"] = 1000000;
                    end
                    if (tInfo1["name"] == "Unalys") then
                        tInfo1["sortMaxHp"] = 900000;
                    end
                    if (tInfo1["name"] == "Deukta") then
                        tInfo1["sortMaxHp"] = 800000;
                    end
                    if (tInfo1["name"] == "Troimy") then
                        tInfo1["sortMaxHp"] = 700000;
                    end
                    if (tInfo1["name"] == "Quatrys") then
                        tInfo1["sortMaxHp"] = 600000;
                    end

                    if (tInfo2["name"] == "Noktu") then
                        tInfo2["sortMaxHp"] = 1000000;
                    end
                    if (tInfo2["name"] == "Unalys") then
                        tInfo2["sortMaxHp"] = 900000;
                    end
                    if (tInfo2["name"] == "Deukta") then
                        tInfo2["sortMaxHp"] = 800000;
                    end
                    if (tInfo2["name"] == "Troimy") then
                        tInfo2["sortMaxHp"] = 700000;
                    end
                    if (tInfo2["name"] == "Quatrys") then
                        tInfo2["sortMaxHp"] = 600000;
                    end

But my main problem with vuhdo is that if i enter in a raid (let say a battlegroup), it mess all my repeter config.

I know i can configure grid to only show my team, but someone know how can i order my characters in grid the way i want ?

I had this same exact need for my group and i found a way...

#1 Install Grid + GridCustomLayouts
#2 Insert custom layout:

Oney;NOR
Twoik;NOR
Twrey;NOR
Fourak;NOR

(You can list all your toons, only those that are online will be displayed)

#3 You may need to toggle 'Horizontal groups'
#4 Profit ?


Grid doesn't always update correctly leaving out toons, but you can easily correct this by changing grid profile. I have a button that toggles between 2 grid profiles. I haven't found any better way to do this, but at least it's working.

I'm using Grid + Grid Custom Layouts.

/Grid Config
Layouts > Custom Layouts > New

Use this config:
ToonA,ToonB,ToonC,ToonD;NAME
1,2,3,4,5;5/5;NAME;NR

Line 1 corresponds to the leftmost column.
Enter every toon you have, in the places of ToonA through ToonD.
The format is Toon -comma- Toon -comma- Toon -semi colon- NAME
There are no spaces.
I have 41 toons listed on this line, every toon from every team.

The second line specifies, only characters in the first five groups are to be displayed (1,2,3,4,5)
They are to be displayed in a five column by five row Grid.
The sorting is alphabetical, the same as for column one.
And NR = No Repeating, which means if a name appears anywhere already (such as your toon name in column 1), it will not appear in another column elsewhere.

End result.
We get our five (or ten) man group in Column A.
And the rest of the raid/battleground in Columns B-E.

You could tweak this to:
TankA,TankB;NAME
DPSC,DPSD,DPSE,DPSF,DPSG;NAME
HealH,HealI,HealJ;NAME
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8;8/4;NAME;NR

Which would display your two Tanking toons (use their names, not Tank) in column 1.
Your five DPS in column 2.
Your three healers in column 3.
Everyone else from groups 1-8, appearing in a Grid up to Eight Columns wide, with no more then Four Toons per Column... in Columns 4-8.

i don't want to order by alphabetic or index i want a custom order

The sorting is alphabetical, the same as for column one.

Custom toon order was the key question here. =P

Grid is the only addon that i have found that supports custom groups and can be fooled to NOT sort by neither Index nor Name.

Totally misread that, sorry.

I have a bit of a problem.
I need the functionality of the GridCustomLayout (so I can see ONLY my team when in a battleground), but I need the width of the bars in Healbot. (I have this custom healing layout - http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=30511 )
Am I out of luck?

In the Grid options, you can change the height and width of the frames.
You could make them long-skinny bars if you wanted.

To display your team only, and nothing else.
Go with something like:

ToonA,ToonB,ToonC,ToonD,ToonE;sortMethod = "LIST"
n1;NR
n2;NR
n3;NR
n4;NR
n5;NR

[Aragent]

Healbot can do this

Its under tab skins,healing,sort check off self first

Has several selection from their group/maxhealth so lowest health always on bottom, but has several choices.

Under Bars you can have the collums configed by group

Hope this helps

I tried this once with Grid before switching to Healbot and I had a problem with sizing. I can't remember, but it was either I couldn't get them wide enough or skinny enough.

But if my toons aren't all in the same group (such as in Battlegrounds), then this is a problem. Even if I'm the BG leader, I can't move my toons around between groups. It's as if Blizzard disabled this function in BGs.
