PitBull Unit Frames 3.0
Please note that PitBull3 is no longer being actively developed. On top of lack of active development itself, it's based on the Rock framework which itself is no longer maintained either.
I strongly recommend that users migrate to PitBull4. You can not convert your config from PitBull3 and must reconfigure.
PitBull4 itself can be found at:
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/pitbull4.aspx
You can find guides for setting it up at:
http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/pages/guide/
And the FAQ here:
http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/pages/faq/
While PitBull4 is still in beta it is fully functional and has more features than PitBull3. It is actively developed on and bug fixes made regularly.
I do not plan on making any fixes to PitBull3 once Cataclysm releases. So you have plenty of time to make the migration.

I tried uninstalling pitbull, reinstalling pitbull everything.but it just keeps reverting to the way it was when I logged in today?
IS there a reason for this, or wtf?
Many thanks in advance.
Though, I would like to keep my normal party interface, when I raid. As soon as I join a raid, my whole UI fucks up with strange unitframes, could you give me some advise?
When switching talents both Health and Power (Mana/Rage/Energy) goes to 0, however the druidbar mana doesn't go to 0. This makes it confusing if you switch while in Cat/Bear form and foolishly belive you still have mana

Message: Error: AddOn PitBull attempted to call a forbidden function (FocusUnit()) from a tainted execution path.

Any idea how to solve this?
Ive got a problem for like one and a half year now..
I cant use the focus frame. I can use it as to set it up when I use the "test frames" but when I click a mob and select "Set focus" then it just say that Ive got an addon that doesnt work and asks me to turn it off or ignore it. It does this ALWAYS I dont think its my computer since I have Pitbull 3.0 on my laptop with Ive played WoW with in windows XP 32bit, 64bit, Vista 32bit, 64bit and 7 32bit, 64bit
It does the same thing.
Ive also in this 1½ year bought a new computer 3 times and it does the same with any windows OS Ive used. I havent tried it on Linux nor any Mac OS since I dont have an EFiX..
Anyone that knows how I might fix this?
The powerbar of the target frame is constantly handled as a rage bar (so it will be showed in red color), no matter what type of target it is (mana- or energy-based). I did not test if other frametypes are affected as well by the same symptom yet, at least the player frame behaves normally.
In an attempt to locate the source of error I already tried as follows:
- Checked the PB3 configuration. Everything seems fine with it.
- Temporarily deactivated all other addons except Pitbull3 and it's powerbar module, but the problem still persist.
- Reinstalled PB3 and deleted the Cache folder - didn't solve the problem.
I don't have a clue how to get it to work again as it should. Help me please! :(
To solve replace
local _,c = UnitClass(unit)
with
local c = UnitClass(unit)
:)
local bgName,_,_,_,_,_,_,minLevel,_ = GetBattleFieldInfo()
Then you'd just have the minimum level and name of the Battleground you last queued for. (http://www.wowwiki.com/API_GetBattlefieldInfo)
As far as this specific issue, this change will only work on English clients, unless I wholly misunderstand the addon's method for picking a color based on the output of UnitClass(). For more info, check out http://www.wowwiki.com/API_UnitClass
Trying it now, it's truly spectacular in comparison to every other frames addon I've worked with.
The configuration is pretty straightforward compared to other raid frames. There are some options which I wouldn't have bothered to put into Pitbull and perhaps could be hidden away in an "advanced options" toggle. I have some specific annoyances, but I intend to work with Pitbull for a week or two before writing of them.
malak72's patch below would be nice to have examined and officially integrated.
Dunno what to do..
I was configuring the Party frames, and I clicked on Text section, and disabled some of them. But now I can't enable them again. Don't know why.
Could anyone help me?
