Raid Group Manager

A World of Warcraft addon for organizing and applying raid group layouts. Design your raid composition with drag-and-drop, save layouts for reuse, and apply them to your raid with a single click.

Features

Grid-Based Layout Editor

• 8-group grid (40 slots) with drag-and-drop support
• Swap players between slots, drag from unassigned panels, or type names manually
• Right-click any slot to clear it
• Grid state persists across reloads — pick up where you left off

Role/Class Templates

• Place template slots like "Tank - Warrior" or generic "Healer" instead of specific player names
• Templates auto-resolve to matching raid members when you click Apply
• Two-pass resolution: class+role specific templates match first, then generic role-only templates
• Unmatched templates remain in place for manual assignment

Layout Management

• Save and load named layouts
• Auto-save option to keep your active layout in sync with grid changes
• Import/export layouts in multiple formats: paired columns, horizontal, vertical, or encoded strings
• Preset layouts included for common mythic and heroic compositions

Smart Group Splitting

• Split Odd/Even: Distribute players across odd (1/3/5/7) and even (2/4/6/8) groups
• Split Halves: Pack players into two contiguous group blocks (1-2 and 3-4 for mythic)
• Role-balanced: each side gets equal tanks, healers, melee, and ranged
• Class-paired: duplicate classes land at matching positions on each side
• Deterministic: same roster always produces the same split
• Mythic-aware: automatically uses 4 groups in mythic difficulty

Unassigned Panel

Four browsing modes via tab bar:

• Raid: Shows current raid members not yet placed in the grid
• Guild: Shows guild members at your level or above
• Role: Shows all role/class template combinations for drag-and-drop
• Roster: Import your external roster from wowutils/Party Shark JSON exports

Roster Import

• Import your guild roster from wowutils / Party Shark JSON exports
• Extracts each member's main character with class and role information
• Imported roster persists across sessions
• Drag roster members directly into grid slots

Quality of Life

• Minimap button to toggle the window
• Frame position remembers where you left it
• Auto-hides during boss encounters, reopens when you're alive after
• Custom role icons distinguishing melee DPS from ranged DPS
• Pixel-perfect grid rendering via LibPixelPerfect
