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.

Is there a way to set a color for NPC's/bosses power bar only? I had this with Pitbull 3 so that if a mob, npc or boss didn't have mana it would have a specific color rather than the normal rage bar color.

I just manage to finish my configuration again so it looks almost exactly like it did pre-patch :) Just a few things that annoys me.

Thanks for this great addon!

I'm looking at the code for PB3 right now. It didn't have that feature as far as I can see. You wouldn't happen to have used a compilation of some sort that modified PB3. Also it's possible that you just changed the rageBG, in PB3 we supported custom FG and BG colors, now we calculate the bg color.

I'd be curious to see the saved variables file from PB3 if you have it.

All that aside, I'm not sure we want to implement that. I suppose you can open a ticket but really not sure when and if we'll ever implement it. Right now I'm not really coming up with a way to preset this to users that doesn't seem convoluted.

I see your picture and I raise you a THANKS!

(The pictures helped me understand what you were wanting a bit better. I will poke the shefki with a pointier stick and see what the difference was that you got that in PB3 but not PB4. ^_^b

Ah okay I see, I understand that it's not on a high priority to add as I'm probably one of very few that's actually looking for something like this.

I used an old Caith UI version looong ago and I build this very UI from it, so it's very possible that he did some modifications in the lua file.

Anyway here's my pitbull3 lua file:

http://www.speedyshare.com/files/24734160/PitBull.lua

I really didn't do anything in the lua myself, just changing position of things ingame aswell as setting up a few frames.

I also forgot to add that as far as I can see I didn't use any sort of compliations or modifies to PB3 and about the rage part, whenever I had an player targeted it always had the default rage bar color as I have on my player frame.

The things that come to my mind is that bosses/Npc's without mana are counted as rage rather than an custom color - they can't gain rage either which makes it a "non-power bar"? As I can see whenever I enable the function "hide non-power" all power bar stays the same except for when I'm targeting an NPC that used to have a rage bar, then the whole bar disapears.

I suppose an feature like "custom color non-power" would fix the issue ^^

Satrina buff frames working again. Finally I have my buffs back without opening pitbull. Thanks anyway for the update. Love this addon because blizzard ui is ugly and lacks style.

@Tinolyn, Not sure what you're asking for Absolute and Short are somewhat mutually exclusive.

@mscxaoc, In your installation of SharedMedia there is a file called "INSTRUCTIONS for MyMedia.txt", follow those instructions and you can get SharedMedia to have access to that font.

@Shefki, I didn't specifically have SharedMedia as a separate addon, but I just downloaded it now and I'm still running into the same issue.

However, upon testing that, I was able to figure out that the text issue was related to 1 addon that I was not loading for my Paladin. That addon is apparently the only addon that is using that style of font (or at least has access to it). Upon loading that addon, I finally have the correct fonts and texts for all characters.

This brings up a secondary question then: Is there a way to "copy" that font into PB so I don't need to load that addon all the time?

Since the right-click to /cancelaura has been removed, maybe you can detect the right-click and display some chatter saying so. An example:

PitBull4: Right-click on a (de)buff is protected since 4.0.1, instead do:
/cancelaura <name of the spell they right-clicked>

--

Also, at first I was quite overwhelmed by the configuration. I've used a lot (all?) of unit frames replacements and so I'm .. "used" to complexity. But after some time I have grown to understand how things work and programatically why they were set up that way. Very impressive and thorough UI! I'm still working out all the cool things I can do.

Would you consider packaging alternate configurations from users? It wouldn't add too much bloat, and it would certainly help new users and inspire customization.

Spiral-

I know there is a request to have configurations be able to migrate and be shared. Its not something that has been finished yet though and I can not offer an ETA.

As far as the aura situation goes, the current plan is to offer an alternative aura module that will restore that functionality. (sadly at cost of other features) which will allow users to choose which they would prefer to use. Again... building new things takes more time than fixing bugs so... no ETA on that either.

Glad you like Pitbull :)

Out of curiosity, is there a way to develop a lua text for Absolute Short and Percent ~~at the same time, of course.~~

@H0PE, There's a ticket you should probably add your comment there, but thanks I'll investigate further.

@ZoltanZ, /pb, Modules, Hide Blizzard, Uncheck Raid. There is an issue right now where the Manager won't show some of the raid officer features if you joined the raid before you unchecked Raid. If you reload the ui after unchecking it, everything should work normally. It's on my todo list to figure out, not sure if that is what the problem you are having or not.

You will need to make a new group and set it to "party targets" Directions on how to make new groups are in the guides above

Can anyone tell me how to enable targets for party members? I am very happy with all the functionality of the add-on but for this one issue. I would like to be able to see what my party members are targeting. I was able to do this previously in x-perl but can't find it in pitbull.

If you are getting that error then you need to update pitbull.

However, rightclicking buffs to disable them became a protected function in 4.0 and will not be working until an entirely new aura module is written. You will need to use /cancelaura SPELL or the Default Blizzard frames

When im trying to disable a buff ,im getting this msg: "PitBull4 has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI. You can disable this addon and reload the UI."
A /rl might help this , but its very annoying.
