PitBull Unit Frames 4.0
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.

Posted Jul 13, 2010If you prefer to use another rune add-on, to turn off the PB4 rune frame you just need to go to the layout for your player frame and under indicators for Runes, uncheck the enable box.

Posted Jul 12, 2010Hi all,
I would like to share my customization to the aggro function of PitBull4. As a tank, I found it difficult to spot if I had lost aggro unless I was starting at the group unit frames. I wanted to be able to see, in the corner of my eye, whether I lost aggro. In general, the different aggro functions (border/background/health bar) were not sufficient and not nearly visible enough.

Posted Jul 12, 2010However, it is a massive CPU hog, unlike X-Perl and Grid. When I turn on CPU profiling, I don't see PitBull taking up tons of time, but I do see Ace3 taking up *tons* of time, which it only does when I use PitBull. I just don't have the computer to accept a frame rate drop just for unit frames, and it's really noticeable.
Any chance at some kind of optimization? I'm not sure why PitBull is so slow compared to X-Perl and Grid. I'm thinking there's just too much calculation and display going on at runtime. If I were going to optimize a real-time tool in a scripting language, the configuration system would probably be a code generator that essentially precompiles to only those snippets of code and API hooks that are needed. You're not ultimately doing much more than the other frames, so I suspect you're just doing too much of it dynamically at run time. The others frames are much more static in their configuration options.
Maybe it just needs more optimization, or maybe Ace3 is slow. I don't know that much about the WoW APIs, but PitBull 4 is still a massive CPU hog, far beyond the other unit frame replacements. Not really any better than PitBull 3 so far in my experience.
Anyway, I'll keep trying, but it's currently taking me from a smooth & consistent 30 fps and often dropping me to 15–20 fps when I'm in an instance. I love PitBull, but I'm going back to the built-in frames for now.
If there any suggestions or anything I can do to help, I'm happy to do so.

Posted Jul 11, 20101. I want to be able to change the color of the text appearing on my portrait and the target's portrait - specifically when I/they receive damage. Right now, it's yellow. Can I change that to red?
2. I'm having problem with buff/debuff filtering. I'm an spriest; I only want to see my DoTs as well as any buffs on the mob that I can dispel - as well as buffs nobody can do anything about. In PB3, I believe I got it down to showing only priest debuffs - but I did notice an option which will differentiate between my debuffs and others, so I figured it might be possible.

Hide Blizzard frames
If the Buffs/Debuffs checkbox is checked uncheck it.
If it's not checked then it's some other addon hiding them.
