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.

True but if the wheel is bloated and all someone wishes is a simple module. Less memory = better playability. If this was true you wouldn't have included any segment to show healing either =). Because another add-on could have done that. Sometimes a bare bones module is much more preferred.

Actually this could go with the saying with so many of your included modules. Yet they exist as well.

You're seriously going to call Clique bloated? It does one thing and does it very well. It doesn't have code specific to different unit frames but rather has a standard well defined interface that unit frame mods register with.

The modules included in PitBull4 almost entirely create a visual element that is attached to our unit frame. Usually because it replaces some functionality that is provided by the default UI in some way. Your example of the VisualHeal module is a poor example because it would be difficult for a single addon to display healing on every unit frame's bars because the author would have to maintain code to deal with every unit frame.

There are exactly two modules that don't provide an integrated visual experience with the unit frames. The Sound module and the Hide Blizzard module. Both are relatively trivial modules and easy to maintain. The sound module is reproducing default UI behavior. The HideBlizzard module is providing functionality that 99% of our user base expects us to provide.

Providing a click casting module would require something that takes more maintenance. We'd need to provide a user interface for binding the spells and other abilities. Additionally, the code to actually process the bindings is not entirely trivial.

Clique is very much a standard. Very few unit frames actually provide their own binding interface and I think you actually listed the entire list. By being a standard Clique provides a better user experience. You set your bindings up with Clique and they work no matter what unit frame you use. If you want to use grid for your raid frames and pitbull4 for your singletons you can share the bindings between them.

Fewer addons don't make them lighter overhead. We'd have to duplicate 90% of the code in Clique. In doing so we'd be spending a lot of time for little gain.

Use Clique, there's no reason to reinvent the wheel.

Under Layout Editor > Indicators > Portrait

We did give hem feedback about the UI as part of the Cata BETA survey... however they didn't really have an Interface and UI panel like they have in the past. :(

Alas it is not available at this time. I do know there are other portrait add ons that will play nice with PB4, but ours is a bit limited.

OK last total noob comment (and I really am checking everywhere before I ask - just don;t have my Pitbull PhD yet :).

Is it possible to move the 3D in "increments", i.e. nudge it? I can resize it nwo but when I do it either sits waaaaay out from the frame or over it. I've tried all the attach points but they either leave a ton of blank space or overlap.

On the Indicators > Portrait tab there is a box just to the right of Enable called "Position as Bar" just uncheck it.

The sizing is limited if you are using position as bar. Uncheck Position as Bar and explore :D

Thank you for the report. It may take a few moments to investigate since I haven't set up a resto spec yet!

Looks like I have a bug. I have a resto Shaman, which means she can dispel Curse and Magic. I go into the Aura Filter Editor under Advanced > Shaman Can Dispel and add Magic to the Whitelist, but it seems to reset itself after zoning.

I'm asking because when I check under Shaman can dispel with the talent that lets you remove magic effects it updates to include magic. If you are missing that talent then you can't dispel magic and it won't update.
