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They have been replaced by the cooldowns module, which now allows you to have several groups of cooldowns configured independently.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

Locking or moving the frames should make it stop appearing in test mode all the time.

Posted Mar 20, 2013hey, i just downloaded this today at the recommendation of a few friends. i definitely prefer it to the original gladius, but one thing really bothers me: how do i make it NOT show the test frames every time i log in or switch characters? i looked in the options, but i must be retarded or something because i can't find anything pertaining to that.
thanks!

Posted Mar 20, 2013the trinket should be placed as an individual icon....aligned with cooldowns are just too hard to see. i prefer either left or right of the health/target bar. with same size as Dr Tracker. but they should be separeted as well. so they can be placed on eachside

Posted Mar 21, 2013i agree with this, if the trinket was on the left or right of health bar it would be more visable. otherwise great job

I can look into it - so you're asking to treat the trinket separately from all other cooldowns right?
In the meantime, this might help: Open up the cooldowns options. Click on the Category Tab Move the PvP Trinket into a separate group (adjust the slider so it says 2)
This will make the PvP Trinket show up on separate line - better visual.

Posted Mar 19, 2013This is pretty cool. Is there a way to make it so enemy trinket CDs can be displayed beside the unit frame, with its size adjustable independently of other buffs?

Absolutely, the code is BSD licensed so you are free to do pretty much anything you want with it. The repository is also open so you can also directly commit your changes there if you prefer so (rather than creating a fork).
