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.

Do you have any bar backgrounds that are not set to be fully opaque?
@tnbp I sadly do not have an ETA, but you can still configure those groups "live" The only broken part is seeing "dummy" frames. Invite a friend or an alt to make a raid and set some of you as the tanks. Then just build on that group.
If you are using the guide, just build the layouts and groups as described and then invite your friends to test it out and perfect your layout.
We are working on the issue, unfortunately this is one of those times when non-WoW things are eating up a huge chunk of our time as well. :(
Thanks in advance for your help and an awesome add on.
My problem is that I cannot Disspell my own "Friendly" buffs and I've been looking around but cannot find any tab or support page that tells me how to enable the click away friendly buffs, wow's normal UI can remove friendly buffs, can't Pitbull or did I miss anything?
Thanks in advance
What happened to being able to right click off my auras?
With patch 4.0 Blizzard added code protection to the Buff and Debuff frames.(Auras) (This was to prevent add ons from automatically removing buffs for players, which in some situations was a bit exploitive.) The current Aura modules was built around the ability to sort and filter which buffs you see. (So you can exclude seeing some buffs, set it to see which are expiring first, etc.) Unfortunately not all of that same functionality is available with the now protected ability to right-click remove. In order to provide the ability to right-click remove a new Aura module will need to be written. When its implemented you will be able to choose which Aura module you wish to use and know what the limitations are on both. This will take some time to implement. In the meantime you can turn on the default Blizzard Auras, Write a /cancelaura macro or use an additional buff add on that will allow you to right-click remove. We do appreciate your patience.

We do have to prioritize things. Generally bugs/defects come first, then implementations of new features.
I think I'm a pretty understanding person... but every couple months or so I put my foot down and insist that I take priority over strangers add on requests just so I can get a night out and see a movie. (Btw "The Town" in September was pretty good imo.)
Any idea on an ETA for when we can use the config function for groups, again? I'm hoping to set up some main tank windows (a la oRA2) but that feature is disabled in the latest build.
I am going to take a stab in the dark and say it probably has to do with how the game updates spellcasts, or refresh rate on that bar.
Anyway 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
All 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
