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 Nov 30, 2010Anyway down to business, I'm trying to create a DogTag that will display a units Name OR Cast Name. Im pretty familiar with every aspect of pitbull except for the dogtags and so far the best I've been able to do is display Name AND Cast Name. Currently I've just scaled AzCastBar to fit overtop the Blank Space that I've attached the unit Name to, however it would be awesome if I could do away with the extra mod.
Also, the Idle Background option for the Cast Bar works great when nothing is being cast, but it will still fade out after a spell is finished/interrupted. (revealing the flat frame background momentarily) Is there any way to keep the background from fading out with the rest of the bar after a cast?

Curious: Have you ever given any thought into introducing ButtonFacade skinning for Auras, or allowing more control over the thickness of Aura borders?
Last issue. Ever since 4.0.1 whenever players leave or join a party/raid group the names on my party/raid frames will get mixed up or even duplicated (sometimes so bad that 3 party members have the same name) I tried recreating this bug to take a screen shot, so far no luck. It seems to happen the most when joining random dungeons.
Thanks again, keep up the great work!
ps. get those config modes working =P

Posted Nov 30, 2010All props for the creation and maint. of this mod belong to ckknight, shefki and some others. I just answer alot of questions and write the guides. (and keep shefki's toes from getting too cold at night but that's a whole other post!)
1- DogTags: I personally don't use them and use LuaTexts on my layouts. But you could probably speak to the people on the wowace forum or elitistjerks forum for DogTags. (They are linked in the texts portion of the guides linked above, or you can get them pretty easy with a websearch)
2- Personally, I haven't thought on that but you could certainly put in a ticket on wowace requesting the addition of this feature (same login and pw as here)
3- Yep we noticed it too... and thought we had it fixed with beta19. We are still however getting some reports on the issue so we believe its still in existence but we are having some issues trying to recreate it on our end. If you know specific steps that will always replicate it please do let us know. (I will mention the random group thing to Shefki.. though some random groups might be more crabby patties when the healer works on a mod during a run ^.~)
4- You can still config live but yes... we miss config mode to and are working on that as well.
Another thing I'd like to fix is why I have 4 strands of Christmas lights that only half light up. I know I had enough strands that worked when I took them off the tree and put them in the box. This seems to happen every year.... what EXACTLY do Christmas lights DO in that box the remaining 11 months of the year? O.o

Posted Nov 30, 2010And how about the castbar background, even when it's set to Idle Background it still fades momentarily after every cast.
As for the Christmas lights... I don't have an answer for you on that one. There's probably a logical explanation for it, but personally I just think they make them that way to get you to buy more!

Posted Nov 30, 2010Did you disable health text on your player frame layout?
Did you set your health text to something like "smart" and are at full HP? (in which case it only shows numbers if you take dmg.

Posted Nov 29, 2010Meanwhile, you can configure them on a singleton frame config and apply to your party, or configure them live in a group. (Config mode just makes sample frames, you can actually configure your frames without it)

Posted Nov 30, 2010You should still see live groups.
Are you in a party or a raid (raids include arena groups)?
If you are in a raid group... did you make a raid group? (PB4 comes built with party frames but not raid frames groups)
Check that you have the "enable" check box for your group types on the Groups menus.

Posted Nov 29, 2010@angrysteel, You don't need to modify the softMin and softMax to exceed those values. Just type whatever you want in the box. softMin and softMax only limit the range the slider works with. I figure the +/-200 is a reasonable value. People that want more than that are probably doing something out of the ordinary and can just type in the box.

Posted Nov 29, 2010With Pitbull 3, it was possible to offset buffs / debuffs by a very large amount. With PB4 you are restricted to an offset of 200 in any direction.
The fix is quite simple, just open Interface > Addons > Pitbull4_Aura > Options and change:
softMin = -200, softMax = 200,
to
softMin = -1200, softMax = 1200,
These items are around line 1750ish.
Is there any chance to get these lines updated / changed to default to 1200 instead of 200, or is there a reason offsetting buffs and debuffs were limited so much in PB4?
Thanks either way! Keep up the good work, <3 the addon.

Posted Nov 29, 2010first of all awesome work you're doing. I'm loving PitBull.
My problem are the unit frames playing up as soon as I enter a raid with names being being displayed multiple times and buggrabber going ballistic.
Hope you can help me

Posted Nov 29, 20102- If you are using Beta19, please attach your buggrabber errors (just c/p to a text document) to the existing ticket (wowace login/pw is same as here) about names sometimes duplicating. -- We are aware of a few reports of the issue, but no one has reported actually getting an error when it happens... just that it happens. And we haven't been 100% able to reliably replicate.
2a - If you aren't using Beta19 please update and see if that fixes the issue for you.
