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 On top of lack of active development itself, it's based on the Rock framework which itself is no longer maintained either.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 can't seem to get Target's Target's Target to work. Everytime I enable it, nothing shows up and when I log out and come back, it's disabled, and I turn it back on, and same thing. Any ideas?
No matter what i do.. it only shows me the percentage of the hps of a player and not a value? what shall i do?
could you put up a screenie or two just so i can see what it looks liek please? cheers

It might just be me but I am using it and at random times those squares where target frame is and the buffs and debuffs are show up without there being an actual target. Is there any way to get the gray background behind everything to go away? Here I got a SS, it is kinda hard to explain. http://s91.photobucket.com/albums/k318/MasterDooshie/?action=view¤t=WoWPitbullglitch.jpg
Couple requests for future versions: - Option to show group numbers at the top of the groups in a raid. Maybe use existing MobInfo2 for... - Target class (Warrior, Priest... whatever) above target optional - Health number instead of percent
You can always get the latest version by using this link: http://files.wowace.com/PitBull/PitBull.zip
Bookmark it imo. I used the default UI until I found this, if only it was around 2 years ago...
i cant link it because it often updates, but when you visit files.wowace.com there should be a huge list of addons with the latest possible version - they are all listed alphabetically.
Just to provide some info for ppl downloading this addon it has a fubar plugin and is similar to perl just with different options and many more options and settings - at this point its still glitchy so you gotta work with it a bit.
I must be thick, i can't find the download on wowace... Torag can you please link it?
FYI the latest version of this addon can be dowloaded at files.wowace.com - and there is a much later version than the one posted here. cknight is close to perfection with this addon :)
This thing looks awesome. One thing would put it over the top... frames for enemies in arenas. I bet you could use a lot of code from Arena Live Frames or Arena Unit Frames...
Also, could you get nice timers for buffs/debuffs? (numbers under the buffs or decaying bars, or whatever works) And, if you do, could you make a special buff and timer on the pet frame that shows up for water elementals??
I seriously need a screenshot of this addon. Why would anyone even try downloading it without seeing how it looks first...?
ok havin a lil problem, since it hides the player frame, it also hides my pet bar (the actualy pet bar not health bar) and the only way to make it visible is to have the normal bliz player frame showing so i can turn growl on or off when in a group and that gets a lil annoying. any idea how to fix this? also i use trinity bars, ive turn them off but still same deal.
I couldnt find any option to show the pets mood for a hunters pet. I wasn't really looking into it, and in the pet screen under the character menu it is green. So there is no real way of seeing if your pet is unhappy (unless your like me and notice that they are rank3 happyness down from 6)
Is there another mod that people use in combination with this one to let them see their pets mood.
I don't have the 3D portraits option when I turn this addon on. Some one mentioned turning on the correct module to make them available, but usefully forgot to add instructions on how to do so for those of us who aren't addon developers. Anyone know what I have to do to get the 3D portraits option to be available for me?
I love this frame mod. If you could add party targets that would rock my socks. Great work so far.
@cookiemonster
well the slash command is /pitbull however it has a timer on how long it stays on the screen if you do nothing and was annoying so since this is an ace2 mod you can get
http://www.wowace.com/files/Niagara/Niagara-r37528.1001.zip
which is a nice little config gui for ace2 mods there is an icon on the minimap that will appear you click on that and then configure anything you like.
Is anyone able to advise me on how i set this up to only show the people who are in my party during a raid?
I just installed r33352 and i had a target problem right away. whenever i click on a target the old ui panel pops up and its totally empty but I can right click where the picture normally would be and all the commands are there. Also the pitbull ui is there as well with the picture and bars properlly displaying. I have tried disabling/enabling the blizzard targe option and all it does is refresh the screen with the same problem. anyway to remove the blizzards ui empty box at all ?
ok i just went to wowace and downloaded PitBull-r37839 and it still has the exact same problem the target blizzard ui panel still shows when i believe its not supposed too.
thanks for your time, Moldavia
