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 On top of lack of active development itself, it's based on the Rock framework which itself is no longer maintained either.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.

Posted Nov 30, 2007I had the same problem as spr808, with the player and target frames being faded. What I ended up doing was disabling the combat fader module completely. In the config page, click Modules and untick the CombatFader option.

Posted Nov 21, 2007Ok, so I downloaded this mod and so far I love it, I'm just having one problem.
Now and then it'll switch so the entire background of my selected target will be an over-strected icon of a buff/debuff that myself or my target have at the time. It does the same for my own frame, as well as my target's target frame, except sometimes all three can look like different buffs/debuffs at the same time.
How do I fix this?

Posted Nov 17, 2007When i change my layout for all units to abf i cannot change it back to custom no matter how many times i try... only way to fix this was to go delete the saved variables in the wtf folder and start all over...

Posted Nov 16, 2007it is the accompanying program that allows you to 'configure' pitbull. It is screwing me up. I cannot use it. MORE than half the abilities that go with pitbull do not show as being loaded, such as range, auras, and others I can't think of right now. I have to keep going back to the old version my husband has on his computer. It works just fine.

Posted Nov 16, 2007I would recommend that you work on the 2.3 version, all i got when i updated to the latest was about 1 frame per minute (seriously..) so i just went back to 2.2.3 and it works much better =/

Posted Nov 14, 2007I can't get freaking mana bars to show up no matter what I do. Not on myself, not party, not raid, not target.
I had this happen before and I reset all my settings three times (that sucked) and that seemed to fix it. Now even that is not working.
Yes, "power" is enabled. Druid mana is enabled. I checked power text and it's enabled to "Absolute". Still, no mana bars.
Can anyone help?

Posted Nov 20, 2007Hmmmm. You should see what xperl uses then. That is kind of insulting pitbull > all.

Posted Nov 9, 2007Just tried PitBull for the first time (long time X-Perl user). I dumped X-Perl and loaded Pitbull but when I click on a target I see the old Blizzard target frame (without any of its pictures). I use a lot of addons so I'd rather not dump my WTF/WDB - what can I do? Currently Pitbull is unusable.
Also, when I loaded up Pitbull, all the player frames are laying all over my desktop. I was surprised that the default setup wasn't a workable arrangement. How can I load up a reasonable starter setup without having to reconfig everything from a big heap in the middle of my screen?

Posted Nov 20, 2007Although the first config is hard I would suggest just turning off all the other parts that aren't needed. (i.e. raid party targets player targets target of targets etc) and just build it from the ground up. First put your player where you want it. enable player pet put that where you want it. enable target and pet target and position them..... etc... the harder part is the raid bars... I don't use them anymore since I changed to grid a very nice 5x5 raid cube.... but you could scale them for a start they do appear rather large in the middle of the screen... Hope this helped..
EDIT: also don't use 2.3 they are kind of buggy I hope the author fixes it...

Posted Nov 9, 2007I was also just wondering how to remove the fade function in the newest version. My health / mana bars are very dull and hard to see.
And also, for my health, even though i have unchecked 'show as deficit' it still has a red number to the left of my health bar showing how many hp I am off being 100%, which i would like to get rid of
