Squared

About Squared

Squared is a highly-customizable unit frame addon similar to the widely-known WoW addon "Grid". It provides a very compact view of health for you, your group, your warband, or your scenario. Clicking on a square will target the associated player.

Important note for WAR 1.3

If you are having issues with squares not fading for "OUT OF RANGE" targets, please see this thread: http://tinyurl.com/squared1-3

Notes about recent patches

Added in 3.7: Tooltips for units in group/warband mode. Hold down the shift key while mousing over a unit to view its tooltip.

3.6 features a fairly significant optimization for WAR 1.2. I highly recommend upgrading to it for decreased lag when in large groups.

Added in 3.5: Easy exporting and importing of settings. The panel to do so is in the GUI.

Added in 3.4: Toggle/settings button. By default, it's located on the left side of the minimap, but you can move it wherever you wish from the Layout Editor. Left-clicking the toggle button will show/hide Squared (same as changing the "completely disable Squared" setting), while right-click will show/hide the Squared Configurator.

Added in 3.3: Settings profiles. Profiles allow you to keep different sets of settings and swap among them at will. In addition, each character will remember which profile they were using last, and automatically load that profile when logging in to the character.

(For more details all on Squared versions, see the change log.)

Settings

To open the configuration GUI, type /sqr (or /squared).

For command-line config, see the settings page for configuration options (as well as color settings).

If you want to use the settings for one of the user-submitted examples, find the specific one you want in the Squared Image Gallery and click on its name to go to the description page, which will have a Squared Import Format block that you can plug into Squared's Import Settings window.

Reporting bugs and requesting features

While I monitor many difference places, including Curse/CurseForge comments, various forums, and email, I give the highest priority to bugs and feature requests which are posted on the Squared Ticket Tracker on Lighthouse.

Other tools

For click-casting, see SquaredHealBot.

For hiding the default warband frames, I suggest Phantom.

Addon developers interested in developing plugins for Squared should look at the Squared plugin API page.

Miscellaneous

I wasn't going to put up a donation link at first, but enough people have asked/prodded me about it that I figured I might as well. Please, don't feel pressured to donate, I enjoy writing addons just for the sake of helping out, but if you really want to, there's a Pledgie campaign here.

@Aiiane I am unsure how the system handles comments of closed tickets and my eyes have problems finding the pm button, so I just use the opportunity to bring Comment #10340 on Ticket 41 to your attention.
Great job on all those addons, btw :D

Move the 'Squared Anchor' in the layout editor, Mthrow.

Is there a way to move the entire thing from it's original location? (up beside the WAR party bars) I'd like to move it down closer to my action bars. I probably overlooked it and if I did, I apologize

hmm... maybe i just didnt understand that settings jet, but i have the following problem: I inverted the healthbars and enabled the color-classbars option. I also have the color-hpbars enabled in order to get the colorgroup-hpdead option to work. Now whenever the hp of someone goes under the hp-high/hp-medium/hp-low value, the color-classbar gets overwritten by the colorgroup-hphigh/-hpmiddle/-hplow option. If I set the hp-high/hp-medium/hp-low values to 0, the colorgroup-hpdead option is overwritten by the colorgroup-hphigh/-hpmiddle/-hplow colors. Is there a possibility to turn off the colorgroup-hphigh/-hpmiddle/-hplow option without losing the colorgroup-hpdead option? Or do I just have to set the colorgroup-hphigh/-hpmiddle/-hplow colors to the same value as colorgroup-hpdead? And does that cost performence? Because my framerates are quite bad anyway ;)

I have to say, i really love squared. Mainly because it is that highly-customizable, and you address our individual requests. Thank you again so much! :)

Currently the only transparency option is for the full frame, flake99, but if you open a ticket about it I could consider adding more transparency options in a future build.
