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 On top of lack of active development itself, it's based on the Rock framework which itself is no longer maintained either.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

This addon seemes to messup my Scrolling Combat Text is it me or is it the addon?
great addon, i really love the amount of customability!
some things i needed to config via .lua that might be interesting to add to the menu:
the mana-/healthbar height ratio (don't use castbar and repbar, so i just changed it from 4/4 to 5/3)
max_buffs_perrow/max_debuffs_perrow (currently deduced from frame width, which becomes a problem when expanding buff/debuffs up- or downwards)
I am having the same problem as Striken i unchecked the enable and now everything is gone! How do I get it back? someone help
ok wtf... i accidently unchecked the enable option on the icon by minimap now i cant get the unitframes back up... is there a /command or something to bring them back? or how to get the icon back to the minmap plz help!
Amazing addon, and for the first time I can actually manage configuring it all on my own with little to no frustration (which is a straight up miracle)
However I seem to be having a little problem, running the latest package from wowfiles via the updater and when I log on and off to switch a char I lose the text in the unitframes. 9 out of 10 times I have to completely /quit out of the game and reload.
Reloading the game suggest something is cached I guess but I need tips on how to fix this annoyance for me :)
Thanks.
Yeah amazing add on dude, i really think you should add some sort of config screen, doing it ALL from a minimap gets dizzying, i left a ton of reccomendations not to long ago, hope your working on pitbullv2 :D!
wow, way too much to configure...lol
As of 2.1.0 if Pitbull is enabled Auctioneer doesn't load for me. Somebody might wanna have a look on it.
"B) 3d and 2d portaits are already installed, perhaps you need to go through and activate the portaits module? Anything that is not appearing can usually be attributed to the module not being loaded."
there is no module for 3d. all that is displayed are 2d and class.
Your UI is very nice and i love it. But i have a serious problem.
If i enter combat and i don't have someone as my target when i target someone he don't appear at all. I can cast spell on him but i cant see his frame or the frame of his target.
My target window gets really buggy, showing various overdimensioned buffs instead of the health bar and portrait etc. Gets better for a while when i relog.
It got to the point where I disabled the target window and now i don't know how to get it back :S
I seem to have 1 main issue that I cannot seem to figure out. When in Raid, I cannot seem to adjust the brightness of the players names on the bars. I can hardly make out a name no matter which of the 5 or 6 bar setups I try. Any other group formation I can make adjustments but in raid,,I run into difficulties.
And I have to agree with Solidpriestesss...i had to turn off the range option since I play a hunter and am rarely at or under 30 yards...kind of annoying but fixable.
I think this is a very clean and very nice mod. I do have some suggestions tho
1. Range Finder/Check thing. Maybe a fade out if the unit is out of a 30yard/adjustable range?
2. A way filter raid groups better. So that i can clump the rogues/hunters into a single melee dps group.
3. A way to set default hpcolors. I dont enjoy the super bright eye bleeder green, but I can never seem to match the colors for all my groups when i use the color wheel. (maybe i'm short bussed)
If theres a way to do all these things and I just am being dumb, please let me know =) =)
Thank you for the kickass mod, Blizzard Default IU is the most horrible thing ever dreamed up.
Instead of detaching the bars i highly reccomend that you turn it off and download the mod "Ecastingbar" and then you can do exactly what ya want.
ag_unitframes improved. Simpler than X-perl and more configurable. (dunno if I spelt that right)
Is there a way to detach the cast bar from the player window and move it somewhere else? I would like to make it lager and move it to the center of my screen. I've looked in the options but only found a way to put the old Blizzard cast bar back (even then I don't see it).
I don't have 3d portrait under the portrait menu too. It only has 2d and class as options.
Doh! T_T!, i didnt know that Fix XD. Hm can you elaborate on B) more? I wanna know how to get my 3D's workin :P
And what add ons should i download for the GUI panel thingy? you said Ace2, Waterfall Lib, and Niagara?
Thanks for your time!
