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.

I believe the first issue has to do with when Blizzard is sending updates. They recently (within the past couple patches) updated how they call this feature. I will double check it when I get a chance against the Blizzard default frames to confirm.

You should post the issue about interruptible casts (both this post and your reply to yourself below) as a ticket of a bug and we can look at it further. My guess is that its looking at if YOU can interrupt it... and I wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard code believes you can't interrupt your own casts. (it is actually impossible to cast a second spell that interrupts during the first spell.... so that would be somewhat logical.) I am not super familiar with what the calls are that update those functions.

I assure you even though the status says it hasn't had initial review that your ticket has been read. It just means its not been assigned as a task to anyone to implement or look at implementing.

I do not actually add code to PB4. I'm more of a help desk troubleshooter type helper that writes guides for people. While I do have an add on of my own that I wrote... I assure you that you do not want me fiddling with your PB4 code at this point! D=

I've switched from using things like status(), afk(), dnd() which from what I can tell are functions specific to pitbull, and started using the blizard API functions such as UnitIsAFK(), UnitIsDND(), UnitIsDead(), etc. and they seem to update perfectly. I miss out on the timer though and they don't return much information.

Not sure about the cast/interrupt thing...this function doesn't seem to have arguments other than "unit" according to wowwiki.

UnitCastingInfo("unit") = spell, rank, displayName, icon, startTime, endTime, isTradeSkill, castID, interrupt

I guess the mana spark module can be removed since there's no longer a 5 second rule.

Do the Player Threat and Reputation bars work? I can't seem to get them to appear. Thanks for the help.

I enabled the module, and added it to my player frame. It does seem to work. I had to change the width to show it.

It doesn't seem to be as configurable as the other bars. For example, I may want to display it (as empty) even if I'm not in combat. Maybe the threat feature is still being worked on?

@jrent82, Known issue with 4.0.3. They made a change that broke our config mode. It's going to take some significant work to restore it. I just haven't had time to get to it.

I checked, and no this is not currently possible. I don't know if it's planned, but it does sound like an interesting feature.

This is something I have wanted since Pitbull 4.0 was released, Can you make it so that I may have multiple player portraits (much as you can have multiple party and raid portraits), I need to display my powerbars as a separate entities from my current character portrait.

The developers are working on a function that would make this a possibility but it is not yet available.

I just downloaded Pitbull for the first time today on the Curse client (I believe the newest version). There's a lot of options, and it's kind of overwhelming, but I like what I've seen, so I want it to work for me. I can't seem to get the configure mode to work properly. I've read the FAQ and the guide, and I think that I'm doing everything correctly. I turned off all the other addons. No matter what mode I choose (party, 10-man raid, etc.), it only shows me the frames that I would expect to see solo (Target, TargetTarget, Focus, FocusTarget, etc.). I'm willing to bet that it's user error since I can't find anything about it in the forums. I see the words Party and Party Pets underneath the other UFs, but they are noninteractive and do not show any bars, they are just white words. What am I doing wrong?

It sounds like perhaps you dont' have them turned on for that layout?

They were working fine before my flight on Tuesday.... ¬.¬

All of this is possible.

1) Layout editor > Make sure you have a unique layout for each type of unit or group. So you would have a player, target, targettarget, party, etc.

2) For either Units or Groups, make sure that your particular item has the correct layout selected. For example, I have a targettarget layout which I use for my targettarget unit.

So for my targettarget example:

- Click Layout editor on the left.
- Find "current layout" and in the dropdown box choose the entry you would like to copy the settings from.
- Underneath "New layout" type "targettarget"
- change the settings however you like (e.g. disable the portrait)
- click Units on the left
- Under Current unit, change the dropdown to select the "Target's target"
- Under layout, change the dropdown to select the "targettarget" layout you just made.

Press f1 to target yourself. You should see your targettarget appear. Maybe it's underneath something else, so look carefully. Drag it to where you want it to go. If you can't drag it, check /pb and at the top is "frame movement" - change it to "unlocked with snap".

I hope this helps.

The design concept has changed but there is just as much flexibility. The guide linked above should help you out.

There is an elite border option in PB4, check your layout for your target frame under Other > Borders and see if you have it enabled.

However, no it does not use the dragons.

I checked, and no this is not currently possible. There is a portrait feature but it's just adding a square portrait with no graphics like the original interface.

It's working well for me. I suspect it's a configuration issue.

- Layout editor (on the left)
- Current layout (dropdown) > party (or raid)
- texts (tab)
- current texts (dropdown) > Lua:Power

You want to check the settings here. It sounds like you're using a shortform. Maybe try:

- code (dropdown) > Power: Absolute
