PitBull Unit Frames 4.0

Woof. Arf. Yip.

Getting Started:

You can help translate PitBull for your language with the localization tool.

Classic

PitBull works with WoW Classic! Classic Era/Vanilla is supported in v4.3.x-vanilla releases. Cataclysm Classic is supported in v4.2.x releases (the same releases retail use).

Classic Era caveats:

Aura duration is not available from the API, so PitBull uses LibClassicDurations to show them. The duration can be inaccurate if it's affected by rank or talents.
Cast info is only available for your spells from the API. PitBull uses LibClassicCasterino to show cast bars for other units, but this can be inaccurate since there is a lot of guess-work involved.

Have you updated to beta9, this sounds like the sort of thing that not updating could cause.

It's not possible to import, the addons are too different.

Sorry if this has been asked before - but can we some how import settings from pitbull 3 to 4 so that I don't have to spend like 1 hr to re do all my configurations?

You have something else attached to inside middle. Probably the combat text, since that's where it is by default.

/pitbull
Layout Editor
Select the appropriate layout you want.
Texts
Select Combat text as the Current text (probably will be selected as it's the default)
Make sure it's not set to Inside, Middle.

I gotta say ckknight. I am/was a hardcore Pitbull 3 advocate. However I am also a programmer of sorts and know sometimes its just simply time to upgrade. About 6 months or so ago I tried Pitbull 4 and completely and utterly despised it. It was near impossible to accomplish even the most minor feat in P4. However with the new patch completely breaking pitbull and the game I decided to give it a try.

In about 15 minutes or so I had all my frames completely configured to where I needed them to be. Looking the way I wanted them to look and behaving the way i wanted them to behave.

Pitbull 4 has my vote.

Thanks for another great addon ckknight and all those involved.

Been using pitbull4 for a few months now, and it's great. I love it.

The fix doesn't seem to be working in raids though. It was fine after I updated, and then once I got into a raid I had the same problems that I did before: Name and other text information disappearing off my target's frame, no buffs except Chill of the Throne showing up, et cetera.

I went ahead and re-downloaded it, then deleted my previous files and re-installed them. I will be raiding again tomorrow night and will tell you what happens! Thank you for your quick responses. =)

Do you have an error from this? Because honestly it sounds like you didn't actually update properly (like possibly just dragging the entire folder from the zip file into AddOns rather than dragging the folders inside the folder from the zip file into AddOns).

You can check which version you're running by typing /pb and looking at the Version info in the top right corner.

Okay, I tested in a raid tonight, and I figured out what the problem had been. Somehow one of the files duplicated itself in the folder, and I fixed the issue. The new file is working fine.

Thank you Shefki!

Yeah Blizzard removed some code that's causing some issues with the HideBlizzard module and the focus frame. Try this alpha and see if it fixes it for you:

You can change anything that you want. You can actually change a hell of a lot more things with PB4 than PB3. The only difference is there is an additional level of abstraction:

PB3 had the configuration for each frame flat out set.
PB4 has the configuration encapsulated in a Layout, which you can then apply to one frame or as many frames as you want.

Part of the reason for this is that we allow multiple groups and will soon allow multiple units (you could have two target frames). So the concept of a per frame config is pretty inadequate for this design.

I don't know how this is "simpler" then 3.0 because now i have no idea how to change what i want to be change without changing something else. Removing all the panels removed the customization of it and is there anyway for me to load my 3.0 profile on 4.0 so i don't have to learn this new and VERY annoying interface?

I just updated from 3.0 and am having a similar difficulty. Is there an option to customize each panel individually that we're missing?

Make a new layout for each frame/group that you want to be different. Default config only has one layout "Normal." When you make a new layout it copies the layout you currently have selected. So you can use that to quickly make similar layouts. Once you've made your layout apply it to the frame/group by selecting it from the Layout dropdown in Units or Groups.

PitBull3 has been fixed for the patch.

As I explained on the PB3 page. It's based on Rock which is an unmaintained framework. PB4 is based on Ace3 which is actively maintained. Besides that PB3 has a number of problems with it, including a design problem that causes taint and breaks every other addon that uses the SecureTemplates (Grid, HealBot, etc).

You might as well convert to PitBull4. We have no intention of maintaining PitBull3 forever. As it is it's only getting minimal bug fixes. Sooner or later we will entirely stop supporting it. Making the switch now allows you to run both and makes it a hell of a lot easier to migrate your configuration. If you wait until PitBull3 is entirely broken you'll be unable to look at what you did in your PB3 config and have the frames overlapping to get the exact same setup.

There is a guide and a FAQ linked at the top to help you with these things. In particular I'd suggest that you go through the Making Layouts and Applying them to Frames guide (since this seems to be what you're having trouble understanding):

It's really a bit more simple, but for starters, you need to understand it uses some other principles ...
It works with layouts, and you select the layout per unit.
for example you make a layout called "Sexy" - afterwards you go to your units-pane and select that you want to use the "Sexy" layout for your target, and maybe also for raidgroups.
It's not so hard, use your brains ;)
