First of all you misunderstood. Race condition doesn't mean the race of the character you're playing. I mean two things are trying to happen and if they happen in a different order there are problems. WoW being event driven is very brittle to changes made by Blizzard in this respect.

Second of all can you post a new error message with the newer version? I'm curious if anything changes about the error message other than the line numbers. So far nobody else has posted errors produced with the alpha version.

I played some last night and didn't experience any issues at all. So this might be a bug in WoW. I happen to play on the Mac so perhaps it's just not happening for me there.

Another possibilty is that there is something wrong with the font or something wrong with the calculations that are produced to calculate the font_size for your particular configuration (that in previous versions of WoW didn't have problems).

Can you perhaps upload your configuration file as an attachment to this issue:

http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/tickets/1050-blank-player-unit-frame-lua-texts-error/

Note that wowace is part of curse so you can use the same login there as on this site.

To find the configuration file find your WTF directory and then navigate as such:

Account/$ACCOUNTID/SavedVariables/PitBull4.lua

Note that $ACCOUNTID will be a name or a number depending on the age of your account. Older accounts end up with your old login name, new accounts get number.

Having your config file might allow me to duplicate the conditions and see what's happening.

Seems that target frames as well as target of target aren't functioning with 5.4. Targets themselves are still registering, but the frames aren't displaying. Here's a screenshot of me targeting myself: http://i.imgur.com/lkZP3N6.jpg

I'll wait a few days for an update; hopefully someone finds a fix soon!

Thanks

Can you enable "Display Lua Errors" and post the errors that you're probably getting but can't see right now?

To do so press Escape until the Game Menu shows up, Click on Interface, Go to the Game Tab and Help Entry, click "Display Lua Errors" so that it is checked and then press Okay.

Just downloaded the update for Pitbull from Curse, and everything looks to be working properly again! Turned on LUA errors but haven't gotten any yet; I'll come back and post them if I do get any errors relating to Pitbull.

Thanks!!

Most of that UI is from a package called PG UI, pretty sure that's where most of the KG Panels graphics came from, though I did modify a bunch of things (health bars are Reuben texture from SharedMedia, and I completely changed the raid frames as I found they were too plain), but yeah, mostly just PG UI.

I'm still getting the error with no visible Target, and a LUA message, even after the most recent update:

People have reported this SetFont error off and on. Looking at the code I have an idea what's causing it and I should be able to fix it. But it should be relatively rare. Basically there appears to be a race condition where sometimes the font isn't being reported as set before the text gets set.

Probably some other addon causing the issue. Try with only PItBull4 loaded, if it doesn't still happen it's some other addon. There's an FAQ entry in the FAQ linked above about this.

When I load up the game it shows the origional blizzard frames. Have to "reload" the profile to make it pop up again and the blizzard frame vanish.

I have a problem where my Totem indicator creates an error when I try to right click it to destroy the totem. More specifically, I summoned my raised ally on my DK and I tried to dismiss it and that happened:

Date: 2013-08-16 22:54:14 ID: 1 Error occured in: AddOn: PitBull4_Totems Count: 1 Message: Error: AddOn PitBull4_Totems attempted to call a forbidden function (DestroyTotem()) from a tainted execution path.

In many cases it is crucial for me to be able to destroy my totems to prevent unwanted damage from being done, such as in old content. Please fix this or let me know what I did wrong for it happen! Pitbull is a great addon and I'd like to keep it! Thank you!

Hi, I set up my unit frames today and I noticed, that there is a slight error in the positioning of some texts. Whenever a unit is being mirrored (the target for example) all texts, originally positioned on the outiside left, will be displayed with faulty offsets. Its not only, that the outside margin has to be changed, to acheive the same distance to the bars, but different text elements are being aligned differently too.

1. Player: Both name and class have a distance of 13px to the bars.
2. Target: The name has the desired distance of 13px. The class however is obviously further away.

Addiditionally, some indicators are being cut off. As seen on the player frame.

Hello! I'm having a problem getting my Tank frames working, and I'm sure it's just something I'm not configuring.

I followed the steps in the how-to article (I did tank and tank target groups) - and this shows up properly when I have a Raid selected from the pull down menu. However, when I get into a Raid - it does not display at all. If, while in the raid, I go into the Tank group and remove the filter, setting it to show all, it does. So the group is active. (I do notice that it displays "all" in a different location, just in case that is valuable info)

When I inspect Blizzard frames (which I don't know where to turn off ), the tanks have the shield displayed & I have specifically asked the tanks to be marked.

So, what have I not done, that I need to do? T.I.A.

Edit. The answer seems to be turn off the Blizzard frames in the interface by making a new profile for it and de-selecting everything. I did not remember having to do that before.

Anyway chalk it up to user error, but you might want to update the instructions to mention it. Thank you very much. I have always enjoyed PitBull.

What class? Do you have any talents/glyphs/etc... that changes the range on some spells? Generally the range indicator works by asking the game if some spells are in range. We may be using the wrong spell for your class or the game may just be giving us the wrong info. As Blizzard changes things around sometimes the spells we're using just aren't the right spell. I don't go in and review this every path so unless someone reports it, it usually doesn't get caught.

If that's not the case probably it's just the way the game works. One thing you can do is compare the range indications on your actionbar (assuming you're using one with this and have it enabled) with the range indication on your target frame. If they match then it's probably not something we can do anything about.

Hi there. I have set Pitbull to fade frames out of range. with a 40 healing spell. I am still able to heal out of range, faded (stationary) players with the same spell. The frame seems to fade out at about ~38-39yards.

just a minor inconvenience
