GladiusEx

Table of Contents

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They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently.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.

Would love a way to add spells (like PAB which I replaced with this; via spell ID, CD entering etc) that are not currently included. (ex: DH Reverse Magic)

Thanks!

EnteringIn reply to Admoney:

Hey,

the idea is mostly that I should fix the addon to include all possible CDs there is.

Feel free to point out missing cooldowns and they'll be provided in the next version.

You shouldn't need to enter CDs by hand, especially as the interface would be very convoluted, as you'd need to be able to enter class, spec ids, talent or not, duration, silence, offensive, defensive, which CDs it replaces, the spec-specific CDs, the charges, the optional charges, ...

Is Adaptation/Relentless tracked correctly?
GEX is tracking the standard Gladiator medallion at the beginning of the arena, when Adaptation is triggered mid arena, the icon is updated.
Relentless is untracked since it never triggers, just a passive spell
Any fix for this? my Gladius is disabled (had the same problem with it, expected GEX to solve it)

Hi,

I'm very surprised about this. The way Gladius and GladiusEx detect trinkets is the same as the base UI. So if it works on the base UI, it should work on GladiusEx.

The one thing that sometimes happen is that Gex doesn't detect **party** trinkets instantly, and only after they've been used. That's a known issue, and I'm looking for ways to fix it, but it only works that way for **party trinkets**.

Can you try to disable all your other addons to check if it happens when only GladiusEx is enabled.
Also try to update GladiusEx if you're not on the latest already.
Also, just in case: if you play on a private server, weird things may happen.

In reply to vendethiel64928:

Finally found a solution for future reference

I had the cvar showarenaenemyframes set to 0 (disabled), I enabled it setting it to 1 and adap/relen started working. Must have showarenapetframes (cant recall exact name) set to 1 too

And yeah, party trinkets wont show on gates opening, instead, its updated the first time trinkets are used

I also may suggest taking a look at the cooldowns module, some of them are showing for wrong specs

Ty for this great addon and the response :)

Oh! Thanks, that's good to know.

WRT party trinkets, I'm working on a solution, but the thing I'm currently using to detect spec/talents of party members does not allow me to check *pvp talents*. I'll keep you posted.

I took a good hard look at the cooldowns module, but I did the port alone, and I do not have perfect knowledge of all specs. Feedback is appreciated :).

GEX is showing the new PVP brawl "Full House", I was wondering if there was a way to stop it from showing.

Oh, seems like that was a language barrier issue.

I didn't know what PVP Brawl meant.

You want to hide it from the Auras module?

venedethiel, bro...is there a way to make the opt_charge count (2) for Blessing of Protection, Blessing of Sacrifice and Blessing of Freedom jump to a charge count of 1 when the Holy Paladin uses Avenging Crusader?

I would really like to make it so that once a Holy Paladin uses Avenging Crusader the charge count for his blessings is set to 1.

cheers again for the addon!

Hey,

That's actually pretty difficult. There's no mechanic that works like this ATM.

Going the other way around (starting with a single charge and detecting extra ones) is already implemented however.

I can take a look at what it'd take, but I'm scared of adding a big mechanism for only a specific case.

(btw, it's vendethiel)

I hope I'm not too intrusive...but the problem with lock walls and pala bubbles is that the cooldown is different for every spec (because of artifact traits/talents).

demo wall is 140s, affli wall is 180s and destro wall is 60s but all three have the same name and spellID...is it possible to make the addon distinguish between specIDs for the same spellID?

so that this displays its own cooldown icon:

LCT_SpellData[123] = {
class = "WARLOCK",
specID = { 265 },

and this displays its own cooldown icon:

LCT_SpellData[123] = {
class = "WARLOCK",
specID = { 266 },

and one last:

when I want to track Shimmer and Displacement for arcane mages it gets a bit tricky because Shimmer has 2 charges and Displacement restores one charge on use.

I made it so that using Displacement would reset Shimmer but Shimmer has 2 charges so the cooldown for Shimmer bugs out ingame when I tested it.

again thank you for updating this wonderful addon and if you want me to test more stuff ingame just hit me up in the DMs!

Hey,

I can make these spells have different cooldowns based on their spec (that's something I added for subrogue's vanish, for thief's bargain).

I updated the cooldown with the times you gave me.

What are the cooldowns for pala bubbles?

For displacement, I admit I don't really know how it works. Seems like I need to add some code to restore charge... It's not gonna look pretty.

Are there any other spells that work like Shimmer+Displacement?
