What Raid Frames To Use? (Specific Preferences)

Hey there,

I need help with finding a Raid Frame addon that does a few specific things If this isn't possible then I'll have to find a more flexible way of achieving what I wan't to do.

Specific Preferences:
- Displays team in alphabetical order
- Shows only my team and no1 else in the group/party
- Shows my team in the same order on every screen

I know that on the Jamba addon this is almost possible but when I show my team it shows the current window as the top of the list. So on my tank's screen he is at the top of the Jamba list however on my healers'/DPS's screens they are at the top of the jamba list on each of their window. This wouldn't be a problem If I setup 100 Click bars (10 for each character). That is a bit excessive if you ask me, So i'm trying to find a way that I can make 10 click bars work with all toons so i can heal from any window.

This is my healing strategy. (Each Button Corresponds to the toon it resides next to)

When someone joins the party it moves my toons around so they are no longer next to their click bars.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Any add-on can has the capability to sort the frames either alphabetically, by index, or by a namelist which you provide. However, not all add-ons give such an option through their GUI and sometimes you have to go hunting for it in the Lua files, and if you have to go hunting for it then you're looking for Filtering, Grouping, and Sorting stuff of the API.

However, you might want to look at Grid and GridCustomLayouts, but unfortunately, I'm not 100% sure if it's 100% working. You'll need both of the add-ons above, but you'll also need to change some Lua round in a GridCustomLayouts file in order to get it to function -- It should still work as of WoD, although I haven't personally tested it out.

Other than that, people have used both Healbot and VuhDo in the past, but I'm not really familiar with either of those, sooo... That's all I've got.

Well noted!

I'll give Grid+GridCustomLayouts a try and see if I can mess around with the Lua files to get what I want. I appreciate your help MiRai! I found the Click Bars setup through your YouTube guide and it worked great on a 5 man team (using 25 click bars), but now I'm trying to expand on it a little more.

I think VuhDo (voodoo) will meet all your requirements. Without any Lua skills, in case that matters to you. You should look up a guide to setting it up, though.

I too use Vuhdo for this.
Takes a bit of fiddling with it to get it how you want it.

For future reference, I found the post about VuhDo:
