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They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently.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 Apr 27, 2013In the most recent alpha it is possible to have different groups of cooldowns configured independently. This will allow having the trinket or any other cooldowns in a different place, and the defaults have been changed to reflect that, having now the trinket and dispel cooldowns as a different group to the left of the class icon.
Unfortunately though due to a change in the way the options are saved, the options of all modules will reset to their defaults. Because of this, try resetting your options first if you experience any problems with this version.
And as always, please report all the bugs!

Posted Apr 18, 2013I absolutely love this. Any chance you could add an option to change the class icon to the role icon? I end up using this in dungeons more than anything else (I'm a tank)
keep up the great work!

The problem with the click module not working went away when I enabled the party module. Originally, I turned off the party module right away prior to changing any other settings. It'd be nice if they could be independently configurable (the party and enemy settings).. thanks again!

Posted Apr 25, 2013Yeah there are a few classes that need to have their list of cooldowns updated, but it is a very time consuming process.

I actually was not able to make it work by disabling the party frames - I was just explaining a bit about my setup.
I'll upload my savedvariables tonight (in about 4 hrs or so).
Thanks!

Posted Apr 4, 2013Can you post your SavedVariables file ? It may be useful for reproducing the bug. Just use the ticket system to create a new ticket and attach your GladiusEx.lua file (which should be somewhere in your SavedVariables folder).

Posted Apr 4, 2013I don't. The weird thing is it worked Tuesday night than not Wednesday night. The only thing I change was trying out lose control add on, oqueu add on and I change around gladiusex set up. I did disable both new add ons and return to the default profile which didn't seem to fix it.
I think I might be interpreting dubdogs post a little different after rereading this morning. He is getting around this issue by disabling party frames. That solution doesn't work for me. Nothing happens when I click the enemy unit frames. It would set me as the focus or target if I clicked on my toons part of the party frames.
Thanks for responding so quickly. I have gotten so used to targeting and setting focus this way I'm lost with out it.
