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 On top of lack of active development itself, it's based on the Rock framework which itself is no longer maintained either.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

For me, im getting really annoying graphical weird stuff on my target and target's target frame. It's like the class portrait art is smudging all over and completely ruining my ability to see the target. It's still happening as of yesterday.
That said... i've used AGuF, Nurfed, xPerl and such... and Pitbull remains my favorite. It keeps things simple, light and very easy to config. (yes, that's a request not to keep adding endless features that just bog it down!)
Hangar: Turn off "Show Beginner Tooltips" in the Interface Options (near the bottom of the first page).
therokaan, worked like a charm (how'd that get turned on anyway? :p ). thx :D
i'm having a problem when mousing over the unit frames. most of the time i'm getting this obnoxious tooltip:
Player Options Right-click to bring up special commands for interacting with another player. You can inspect their equipment, issue a party invite, initiate a trade, or challenge a player to a duel. A group leader can promote or remove that player form the group.
on occasion it will actually show me their player info (name, guild, level, etc.). anyone else having this problem?
Does any one know how to get roguue Combo-points to display with this mod?
I see the module enabled, but get no corresponding display :/
my player frame tells me i'm (Tree) when there's a tree druid in tree form in my group. i am a druid but not a tree druid, however. minor thing, really. oh, btw... a tree druid in tree form has 2 buffs with the same icon, both say "Tree of Life", but the one that indicates they actually ARE a tree has the additional tooltip description of "Immune to Polymorth effects." the other one indicates they have a healing buff and goes on their entire group. so maybe you can check for the presence of 2 tree of life buffs to distinguish it (though if you have 2 tree druids i guess all party members would have multiples.. .hmmm).
good work btw.. loving the mod :D
Few things with this addon that makes me stick to AGUF;
- If you chose not to activate the Self Frame casting bar, you do not get the normal casting bar visible. I rather want my normal casting bar than something attached to my portrait. - You can't move the casting bar freely. You can't hide the background of it. - You can't move the combo points freely, nor resize them. They are very small and annoyingly hard to see.
It's a great addon, the drop down menus are a pain in the butt, but that's just how most ACE addons are made these days. A graphical UI for the addon would be imba. I hope you will continue to develop this addon, great work! :)
Was my 2nd favorite Add On in my library, until i found out it was the add on causing critical errors everytime i entered a bg, i had to uninstall it, =[
ILL MISS YOU PITBULL!
so noone knows how to hide your characters UI so its visible only if you target yourself or someone else targets you?
Just IMO, great mod, but it needs a menu screen similiar to xperl's. the little dropdown is a tad tedious for me D:
How do I show party pet unitframes with Pitbull?
At my pitbull interface, my character frame is always visible. is it possible to set it so, that when I'm not targeting myself or is someone targeting me so that at that times it wouldnt be visible?
How do i load options? I wanna change color or the size...
I have trouble with my target bar and focus target bar. They just disappear from time to time. It's not until you kill what you was fighting and then target your self to get the bars back. I have lost a few arena's and had some really tough boss fights because of this and I'm not very happy ATM with this Mod. I will be uninstalling this Mod until this bug is fix.
i dont get the absolute hp amount displayed at targets, just the percentage.
Simply the best Unitframe mod out there, try it you will be stuck on it getting the pimp out and customize with your own unitframe size, fonts, textures, function, features and design.
the 3D portraits are buggy. sometimes i get a full body portraits when the groupmember is out of range,although i have it disabled. and i get a full body and head portraits flashing at the same time when a group member is in range. enabling and re-disabling full body works here.
Sorry, I seemed to have figured that problem out. But is there any way I can detatch and make the frames of my party / party pets / party targets individual? Because it makes no sense to have the party pets the same size as the party members, and if they were smaller, it wouldn't sync.
I've been using Elkano's Buff Bars and after I installed this addon, the old Blizzard square buff icons came back, clashing directly with my bars. Is there any way to disable this?
I had the same problem as SargentD, but only in a group, not in a raid. I haven't grouped since getting the latest version 060624 so i don't know if it persists.
