- Cooldown tracker: a highly configurable module for tracking all types of cooldowns

FAQ
How do I bring the user interface up ?
You can use the /gex slash command, or you can access the options from the addons tab in the interface panel.
Where did the trinket and the dispels modules go ?
They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently. By default, the trinket cooldown is shown in group 2 and a few other cooldowns in group 1.
What is that additional set of frames that I see ?
Those are the party frames. This is incremental functionality that will help you track not only your enemies but also your friends. If you use your own you can turn these easily off in the general settings. You can also disable only your own frame, but keep the GladiusEx party frames.
Is it possible to have text timers for the auras, cooldowns or the DR icons ?
The timer module has been removed, but this can be achieved with OmniCC or other similar addons.

In reply to captncha0s:
If you're using FrameSort, can you perhaps try to disable that addon and see if you see the same problems on Gex?
The addon's not abandoned, it should be up-to-date mostly, except for 10.2 which I haven't had much time to play.
I have never had this issue, sometimes if I lag when switching rounds I do get a frame away, but I think that's FrameSort which has the hard job of ordering frames that don't beling to it.
Also, you can try to run in succession:
/gex hide
/gex show
and that should solve the issue (you'll have to wait for the gates to open though).
In reply to Vendethiel: never heard & never used FrameSort, thanks for the tips tho I will try them out in a couple of days after the weekly reset! Good to hear this addon is still maintained, thanks again for your time+work! And yea it feels somewhat like lag when people are being loaded between rounds, hard to reproduce the bug. Some of my larger addons: Grid2 (on '"not show" for Arenas), bartender4, Quartz, Grail, (Altoholic + AddonFactory by Thaoky wahtever that is). Could it be Masque maybe? No clue which addons are affecting frames
In reply to captncha0s:
I don't reload UI to fix this issue, I just open the setting /gex --> general --> Lock frames --> uncheck it and check it. This fix the issue the other method of /gex hide and show commands not practical because you can't see who you playing against in arena until arena gates open,.
This should be fixed it's been for so long ~since shadowlands, it's really annoying.
Hey, with these recent changes to range checking for addons, I notice that when I enter SoloShuffle, the addon fades out in combat to show players being too far away from me eventho I am literally standing ontop of them. would be great if this can be addressed, Im tryin out with range fadeout alpha set to 1.0 as a semi workaround for now, keep up the great work!
and it is also doing this thing where it either hides a party or enemy frame out of the 6 or puts it in a completly random place where it never is, requiring reloads almost every 2nd round of a solo shuffle
Hey, I've been using Gladius for years, but now I want to use GladiusEx. Is it possible to import my profile into GladiusEx so I can use the same overlay/look?
The class and spec icons are always rendered incorrectly in solo shuffle, not sure about other mode
In reply to felicoz:
That's weird; I've never ever seen that in shuffle. Are you sure it's not BigDebuffs' buggy integration that's causing the issue?
To make sure, type /bd to open BigDebuffs' options, then into Unit Frames > Arena Frames > uncheck "Enabled".
In reply to Vendethiel: i don't have bigDebuffs, but I do have shadow unit frame which is off.
is it possible to replace default party frames with the GladiusEx frames outside of arenas? Useful for M+ and bgs too
maybe i'm doing something very wrong, but the gladius arena frames just don't show up? unchecked the party frames because i use my own, but i don't think that should prevent the arena ones from showing? only seeing blizzard raid frames in skirmishes and solo shuffle, which is what i play mostly lol :')
Anyone has a version with updated CD list? Lots of cooldowns are not showing. (or a guide on how to fix them myself)
EDIT: The page will not let me delete my comment, but I figured it out. The Cooldown Group 2 is the PvP Trinket! :)
Hello! Simple question here: how do I choose which side of the bar the trinket icon appears? I had my party on the left and the enemies on the right. I made some changes to the party settings and copied them to enemies and now the trinket swapped sides. I cannot find this setting in the configuration!

[string "@GladiusEx/Data-Mainline.lua"]:190: in function `GetDefaultImportantAuras'

Getting this constantly
If anyone is getting a lua error at Data-Mainline.lua line 190 replace with this:
[GladiusEx:SafeGetSpellName(108271)] = 7, -- Astral Shift
In reply to Sharpedge_Gaming: You're a legend, this works perfectly.
Hello, stupid question, how do I remove the black part of the class icon and make the class icon taking full square ? for both ennemy and paty
by default it seems the class icon and small with black part all around, so harder to see important aura
Any update on the non-appearing Evoker cast bars? Happens on empowered casts.
In reply to Bodify:
I'm still waiting for this fix too!
I tried to use the bug tracker, but wowace seems to be down.
I'm getting this weird bug a lot, seems to be bad interaction between gex and ATT and Arkinventory? I sadly don't understand what the issue is, maybe you/someone can take a look at it:
In reply to MoosGames:
Unsure as it stands. This doesn't really help tell where and how taint spread at all, sadly.
If you're using edit mode, I think it's still a good idea to /reload after changing stuff, because it had an history of spreading taint everywhere.
