I want to define a buff aura twice. Beacon of Light (my own) and Beacon of Light (anyones). Obviously you can only define an aura once in Grid. Needs to be twice since............ I want to have each indicator in a different place.
I tried adding a duplicate manually in the SavedVariables Grid.lua but that didn't seem to work. You'd have thought that GridStatusHOTs would allow you to this since it defines a buff called HOTs: My Beacon of Light - but it only outputs a text field, not a visual indicator.

So 5 groups of 5 players vertically but the pets underneath the 5 groups horizontally.
For any specified aura. Except this information is only visible if output to the center icon.
Allowing #3 or #4 to be the default output for text indicators is not extra code. It's a preference, same as changing the colour of your healthbar. At least it should be.
If I add an aura/debuff to Grid, and select in the aura options "show duration", when I select this debuff as the center icon (with the center icon size > 18px), it will show 1) the spell icon, 2) the duration remaining, 3) the amount of stacks of the debuff.
However, if I output the same aura using centertext2 (or top corner using the plugin GridIndicatorCornerText), it will only show me the name of the debuff.
i.e. if I created an aura for Power Word: Fortitude and selected it as the center icon, I would see it has X minutes left. If I selected the same aura for center text 2, it would just show the text "Power Word: Fortitude" - probably abbreviated.
So why not just use the center icon if you want to track durations/stacks? It did work well in TOC25 but I find it to be too distracting in situations where everyone will have a debuff, i.e. stacks of Mystic Buffet @ Sindragosa. Esp. if I need to be aware of who they are, I can't have a big icon covering their names.
With the statusHOTs plugin/cornertext, I am able to create an inobtrusive timer in the lower left corner for HOT/weakened soul duration. I would like a similar inobtrusive counter in the top left corner but for debuffs.
i.e. I need an extra option in auras where I can select "output text as duration" or "output text as stacks", so if I wanted to, centertext2 could show a simple number, colored by aura, with the amount of stacks of Mystic Buffet.
This would also have the advantage of mostly removing StatusHOTs from my setup (though the colour coding on the auras as they run out is very good) although I suspect that this plugin is a CPU killer.
Doing Vezax atm, is there any plugin that shows who is getting the shadowcrash? Bigwigs is able to make you /say "Shadowcrash on me" if you're the target, but is there anyway this could be shown using center icon for 5s? It's not a debuff, you get aggro for 0.1s and he launches it.
It's annoying atm having to check 1) whether I'm standing in the shadow crash 2) healing the raid with PWS 3) BigWigs shadow crash warnings - esp. when healing gets intense. If "shadow crash" target appeared in Grid, I'd have less things to focus on.
This is how I use Grid. Always have found class coloring on the unithealth to be distracting - all you really need to see is green and black. The advantage of this coloring scheme is that you can use the healthbar color for something useful - like changing the bar color if someone has a debuff. Find center icon... vague.
Bug last night. Use latest Grid with GridSideIndicators and they work fine normally - I have magic debuffs show up on the left indicator - and that was working fine - except for some reason, during the Reliquary of Souls fight (phase 1), the ability Soul Drain was not showing up - even though it's a magic debuff.
Had similar issue at Kel'Thuzad (p2) Frost Blast debuff (retro run) - had set a left indicator for that + change the healthbar color to white'ish - didn't trigger.
Thanks for explaining how to add custom sounds to WOW last night Funkydude - but is there anyway someone could make a custom module just for The Twin Eredar that plays Yakety Sax (the Benny Hill music) whenever they get targetted by Conflagrate.
Would just be quicker than explaining how to configure BW to get this effect :)
Finally managed to get the 4 resto shaman and 11 healers together for some stable attempts and it's annoying to have every decent attempt ruined by people not running from the raid.
I've had extremely bad luck with Grid modules like oralayouts, manabars, layoutplus - etc. so I'm a bit worried about adding any others. I want to see whether someone has MY renew and some sort of visual indicator to see if it's running out. Any recommendations?
Well, I reinstalled Windows and overclocked my PC, and deleted all my Grid settings... and seem to be having a much more pleasant Grid experience - with several of the mods disabled (inc. Recount/Parrot) - I think the culprit was the oRa2 plugin for Grid - the layouts addons too - we'll see.
Only problem I'm having now is occasionally healthbars sticking. i.e. I heal someone to full, and their healthbar shows them at 60%.
I have healthbar to show death, offline and unit health. Class colors are turned off, and healthbar color shows only aggro warning and some other debuffs. I was able to "fix" their faulty HP by buffing them with Blessing of Kings to increase their max HP.
I'm only running Grid, Sideicons, GridStatusHostileUnit, GridStatusHots (doesn't seem to work) and the raid debuff one.
Okay, here is the list. It's a bit scary. Some aren't running now.

When I installed r62183, I copied all the files from the main directory over the ones from the latest release. I didn't copy the libs because JWOWUpdater keeps the libs in the /addons dir.
But no, it didn't fix the problem. There are no errors.
My PC is AMD XP2500 / 2GB RAM / Radeon 9700 / Windows XP / Client is English.
As for addons list, I'd have to create that later.

I tried adding a duplicate manually in the SavedVariables Grid.lua but that didn't seem to work. You'd have thought that GridStatusHOTs would allow you to this since it defines a buff called HOTs: My Beacon of Light - but it only outputs a text field, not a visual indicator.
