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They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently.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 Jun 15, 2013I wasn't aware of the feral cyclone cooldown, thanks for pointing that out. It has been added in the current alpha.
Pet frames are a high priority and will be one of the next things added.

Posted Jun 15, 2013Sweet, looking forward to it.
Couple of more missing CDs I noticed: Remove Curse (baseline for mage) and Survival Instincts for ferals (currently only listed for guardian druids, not sure if that matters). Thunderstorm CD is also reduced by 50% by their 4piece pvp set bonus, from 45 sec to 22,5 sec.
Keep up the good work!

Posted Jun 14, 2013Hello, love the addon, great work.
It would be nice, though, with an option move the cast bars of the arena frames freely. Personally I like to have them to the side of the frames so they are easier to see for interrupting. =]
edit: also I read someone comment asking to make party frames usable outside arena. I second that wish (but I realise it is hard/impossible/takes time) :)

Posted Jun 11, 2013Hello Slaren,
I have a quick question. If I enable "show only dispellable buffs" in gladiusex, I do not see any debuffs for my partyframes. I'm a disc priest so shouldn't I at least see the magic and disease debuffs?

Posted Jun 11, 2013Yeah, I have just fixed that in the current alpha (you can grab it from the project page at wowace, or wait until I make a new beta). Let me know if it still not working as it should after updating.

Posted Jun 9, 2013when i go into arena, my party frames bug out and lets say for example, my partners are rogue and priest. the 2 party frames from gladiusex has a priest bar and rogue bar but it is swapped. like rogue has the white priest health bar and the priest has yellow health bar. so rogue would have white health bar but sublety icon on the side. and priest would have yellow health bar but disc priest icon on the side.

Posted Jun 9, 2013I have never seen that happen and without a way to reproduce it there isn't much I can do about it unfortunately.

Posted Jun 6, 2013I have a question. Is there a way to enable the GladiusEx Frames inside BGs, too?
I have to switch between Elv UI Arena Frames and GladiusEx Frames. Because I use the GladiusEx Frames inside arena and Elv UI Frames inside BGs cause Gladius doesnt show them.
Is it possible?
Thanks. :-)

Posted Jun 4, 2013Hey! Great addon you got there! :D
I was wondering if it were possible to make the party frames enabled in normal groups so it isnt just arena? (personal UI involving symmetry)
I quickly looked through your .lua files but didnt seem to find the information to change this.
Thanks in advance! <3

Posted Jun 4, 2013Not at the moment, but it is something that I am considering doing. However, it would be a lot of work to make the frames work well everywhere, so don't expect it any time soon.

Posted Jun 2, 2013I do luv this addon, but i can not figure out how to get the click to cast spells to work? I went under arena/cliciks and set both left and rigth to /fear... ( i'm a lock), but the spells wont cast. i've messed with it as much as possible but cant get it to work. Any idea what i'm doing wrong? lol i'm sure if it were a snake it would bite me.
Thanks in advance

Posted Jun 2, 2013All you need to do is select the mouse button, set the action to "cast spell" and in the text box below type the exact spell name (as you would type it in a macro). If it is still not working after that, the most likely reason is that you didn't type the spell name correctly.
Also note that if you have Clique or a similar click-to-cast addon installed, it may be overriding the clicks module settings.
Let me know if that fixed your problem.

Posted Jun 2, 2013Yes i have done all that you said, the spell is fear so.. /fear :) Thats why i'm confused as to why its not working. i will try to disable all addons except gladius and see if there are some discrepencies but i dotn think i have any click to cast addons that i know of. Issue being its hard to test outside of an arena lol.
Thanks for the reply, i'm a give it a nother shot and see what i can find

Posted Jun 2, 2013Note that you do not need to type "/fear" as the spell name, rather something like "Fear" (without the quotes).
