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 On top of lack of active development itself, it's based on the Rock framework which itself is no longer maintained either.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

Is there a possibility to switch the Bars, by just using stances? I have found the Option, to change the bars when i hold a key (Think Strg oder Shift)...but no Option to change it automatically by just switching stances...
When i'm in a raid every single party is up on my screen and i can't see anything i'm trying to do. How do i make it only show the party i am in?
i loved this mod, the only problem we had with it is that when we went into Mana Tombs the other night it completely shut down wow and sent and error message to blizzard. so we had to get rid of it. it happened on both of our accounts. after we deleted pitbull it we didn't have the problem again. =(
When I am in a Raid little slightly transparent gray boxes start appearing in random places. Also, when in raid distorted buffs/debuffs show up around the health bars. Screenie: http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k318/MasterDooshie/WoWPitbullglitch.jpg?t=1182386897
How do u show portrait because i just have health bar and mana and watever else but no portrait and also no portrait for anytin for that matter even NPCs. Is that normal because otherwise this mod is great
Hi, I love this addon except for one major issue: It seems that whenever I am in raid and we pull, my fps drops to 1-2.
I have a suspicion that there is some kind of problem with pitbull and scrolling combat text, when in raid. This because everything is fine until I do dmg, get hit, recieve mana from shadow priest etc. This has never happened in group/solo, only raid. disabling the pitbull raid frames didn't help either. when disabling pitbull at logon, things ran smooth again. This error might seem quite weird, dunno if someone else experienced something similar. Too bad cause really wanna use Pitbull :(
Is it only me having problem with the Incombat Fade/Fade out? =(
After the patch I've got this problem that they're really faded when I'm out of combat, I can barely see them, and I can't find any option to remove it ; ;
Having the same problem as redfoxert, also having a problem getting buffs and debuffs to show up for frames that i have set to the Buu layout (on the version before this most recent one, i reverted before i could check this again). It could be that i can't figure out the settings, but i've toggled everything under auras, with filters on and off, etc. and checked everything under global settings.
apart from that, thanks for this awesome addon
For some reason the most recent version has removed all the text from the Unitframes. I can't get it back from anywhere. The only solution is to deleted Pitbull.lua from my SavedVariables and reconfigure it entirely .... which is a pain in the ass.
Can anyone give me some advice or perhaps tell me if you've experienced the same thing? I'm using Pitbull for the last 2 months or so and I love it. Please dont make me reconfigure everything again.
I've been trying for quite some time to locate an option to show the 3d frames or even 2d frames. Could someone please indicate me where to find those option. Either for 3d or 2d icons. Thanks in advance.
Getting the following error, Pitbull: There was an error with the layout "ABF", preventing the frame for "party1" to be shown properly. Please inform the author: Interface/AddOns/PitBull/LayoutsABF.lau:869: PitBullTexture 76:SetPoint(): trying to anchor to itself
-Battleground Groups- I have a problem in battlegrounds. I only want it to show the group I am in like on the blizzard frames, not all of the groups in the game. How can I hide these extra groups? Thanks.
-I found out how- Raid>Grouping>Group Filter
Is it possible to hide groups in the raid frames? I've been through all options and have not seen anywhere to hide certain groups (I'm probably just blind). Just wanting to show groups 1-5 if possible.
Target's Health :
"Health text can be much more accurate if you have MobHealth (v3 recommended) or MobInfo2 installed."
Basically if you don't have mobhealth for pitbull to get the health estimations from, it will just display %. You can grab it from the ace file listing or on curse.
I also have trouble while in a party. Particularly the frame of the target and target of target are covered with deformed buff icons. More icons get added on top of each other over time making it impossible to see the frames. It only happens while in a party. Anyone else having similar problems?
I'm going to delete Pitbull and download it fresh again, see if it helps.
Love this with its heal estimations Problem:
After a few minutes in a party all the party frames disappear and do not return until I click 'configure' then 'Configure party' then they return for a few more minutes for play time.
very good mod IMO but hope you guys can help with 2 problems. 1. My target's health is shown as a percentage but i want it to be of numerical value. how do i do that? 2. How do i get the cast bar out of my own frame n put it in the middle of the screen? and can i enlarge the cast bar? PLEASE HELP! thank you
I keep getting weird errors on my target. It seems to replace some of the Health/Mana textures with the buffs they have on them. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j145/Talavah/WoWScrnShot_061107_165706.jpg
Im wondering how you get the gloss effect on the unitframes, cant seem to find it at all.
