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 On top of lack of active development itself, it's based on the Rock framework which itself is no longer maintained either.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

Hi, first of all, great addon! many, many, configuration options! Great :)
but two questions:
1) I disabled Class/Race Names, how can I re-enable them? Dont find them in "Modules"
2) When I Mouse Over my Target, it shows "Player Options - Right click to ... blabla". How can I change that, so that the normal tooltip is shown. I'm using TinyTip.
thx4answers
1) To reenable the texts you will need to go to Texts > Other and reselect them from the drop down available. Do this for all the frames you want to reenable it on.
Can't help 2) unfortately
Wondering if anyone can help me -
since a certain patch of the mod i dont know which one target's HP has been enabled, i.e itll say 32432434/5435345 instead of just 50% etc and ic ant figure out for the likes of me how to set it back to health % anyone able to help?
You will need to edit the texts in the (Frame) > Texts > Health/Power.
http://www.wowace.com/wiki/DogTag-1.0 will show you the configuration options, or you can choose one of the preformatted options.
I would assume that somewhere along the way you've also installed MobHealth, either with PitBull, another addon or individually.
can someone tell me how to enable the greyed out configurations regarding to any
unit's portrait height,position and side?
MobInfo doesn't seem to be working for me. All enemy players have their health at "100/100"
All players not in your party do not report their maximum health to you. When you fight an enemy player, MobInfo will try to estimate their health based on damage dealt to the mob and their remaining percentage in health. And then store this estimate if you have the option turned on and any future battle will display this estimate. However it will not be accurate if the enemy switches gears and change their maximum health, etc. The 100/100 is percentages 100% health out of a maximum 100% health.
It does it for ALL of the players, but it works just fine with xpearl
Ok, I'm starting to get used to using Pitbull as a interface frame and trying out some of the advanced features. Before I had set up my Party to line up on the side, but right now I want to line them up horizontally in the center. I can get them to move horizontally (setting Grouping direction to Right), but the Party Unit Frames are stuck, and I cannot figure out how to manually move them. I put Pitbull into Configuration mode, but that didn't help any. Is there an option somewhere that I'm missing to "Position" the Party, Parties' Target, and Raid Unit Frames?
I looked in all of the settings and I don't see anywhere that I could have "Locked" the frames. I even made sure that I released any Visor2 files from my computer, in case that was the problem and still nothing.
You will need to unlock all the Pitbull frames to move them, I'm at work so I can't tell you exactly where, but it's the option below the top level one.
Why the heck does my Focus target and Target of target frames keep blinking/flashing on my screen when I'm not in combat? How do I make them stay still, the blinking is pissing me off.
I'm also having the same issue as the guy below. I can not configure raid settings now because it doesn't show in the menu anymore and since I'm a raid leader I really need it back.
EDIT: I figured out the Raid thing. If you click Global Settings, then Layouts, then Extra Units, and click "Enable" for Raid, the Raid option shows back up in your menu on the left side.
Still need help with the damn flashing though. WHY are they blinking and I can't find any setting to fix it.
Once I disable Raid for example-it disappears off the menu on the left and I can't enable it again. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!
As the poster above mentioned - you go to Extra Units and re-enable the ones you want but have disabled.
I am unable to configure PitBull and receive the following debug info whenever I try:

I am running the most current version as of 11:25 PM EST today from wowace.
I did try loading the LibRock Config in the UI and was unable to view any configuration options for PitBull.
Any suggestions?
I´ve updated pitbull yesterday and like everytime, the avatars are disabled. Unfortunately I cant open the options menu via chat command nor via right click on targets target. When I type in /pitbull, I cant even send the command.
EDIT: I can open the options with 1 of 4 chars that I´ve tried it yet.
Could we have a little gold dragon for elite ? (like the rest/pvp icon) ^^
The conif for pitbull is so messy. It should stat with a deafult layout and work from there imo.
I played a few days with it...very nice addon indeed.
But sometimes a part of my screen gets transparantly coloured. The same colors used for class coloring.
It just occupies a part of my lower screen mostly for a few secs, and then suddenly it will be gone again.
It is very annoying cus right now it happens all the time when I am in AV battleground.
I really like this addon so I hope it can be solved :)
My party windows for some reason can't show the exact HP/MP of my fellow party members is there any way to solve this/activate it.
I do realise this is probably a retarded question.
I installed this addon to have a look and I get 1fp20s or so.Clearly thats really really bad. Is there a compatibility issue with some addons? Also, a screenshot would be nice.
