GladiusEx
GladiusEx is an arena unit frames addon based on Gladius.
What's new
New features include:
- Party frames: support for showing frames for your own team
- Cooldown tracker: a highly configurable module for tracking all types of cooldowns
- Skill history: shows the icons of the last few skills used by the unit
- Alerts: makes the frames blink in a noticeable way during some configured events (including low health, auras and specific spells being cast)
- Pets: new module for displaying pet bars
- Interrupts: See the interrupts directly on your arena & party frames.
And the classic modules, most of which have been improved in various ways:
- Auras: now with more filtering options
- Class Icon: new display modes: by spec, role and portraits
- Cast Bar: now shows which spells can't be interrupted
- DR Tracker: track the diminishing returns timers on both the enemy team and your team. Now lets you select which icon you want displayed for every category!
- Health Bar: now displays incoming heals and absorbs
- Tags: configure every text to show exactly what you want, now with more built-in tags and improved performance
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They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently.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.

Posted Jan 22, 2024Great addon, thank you!
Quick question; currently going through all CD's for tracking and I notice the tooltip in the list is not up to date from some spells. Does this mean CD tracking in game will use a wrong timer aswell? Or is CD tracking on the arenaframes correct and is tooltip in the menu's just outdated?

Info shown in menu is manual input and might have errors, if you send me a list I'll correct them. I do have the classes so I can test anything in case there's a doubt.
The tooltip itself, though, is generated by the game.

Posted Jan 23, 2024I did not write them down so I do not remember which ones I ment. I do remember Call of the Wild not being on there for BM hunter. Nor is Arcane Surge for mage or the hunter for DH.
Good to know tooltip will work, thank you!

Posted Jan 21, 2024In reply to mark129: Can you post an error (install the addons BugSack and BugGrabber if you don't have them), and a screenshot? I've never had that.
If it fails to display, you can use these two commands to force reset it:
/gex hide
/gex show
Then when the gates open it'll pick up the specs etc.

The supported WoW version hasn't been udpated so you need to load outdated addons, but it should work fine outside of that.

I just tried it and it works fine. Are you correctly enabling the Clicks module in the Arena section, not Party section?

Posted Nov 30, 2023Maybe 4 out of 6 SoloShuffle rounds I have to reload my UI because the frames are invisible or all over the place. I understand maintaining an addon is a lot of thank-less work, but it would be great to know if this is abandoned or not. Moving to new arena frames takes a lot of setup so I rather wait a bit and get these here updated but if I dont instant reload my UI I enter the arena sometimes a few seconds later than others and thats with a Nvme ssd. Normal Gladius was last updated January 2023 it seems so what are people using instead here?

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).

Posted Dec 1, 2023In 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

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.

Posted Nov 19, 2023Hey, 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

Posted Nov 14, 2023Hey, 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?
