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.

You need to make a different Layout for each frame that you want to be configured differently. See this guide for help with that:

Also, how do I get the Portrait to only show on Player and Target frames and not on other frames such as Party and Target or Target?

Hello. How do I customize the text for each frame? I want Player and Target frames to have informative text (such as health number and %), but I want the Target of Target from to only show the unit's name. I used to be able to do this in Pitbull3.

After using pitbull4 beta9 for about 30 hours now I've noticed the visualheal module working sporadically. Sometimes it will show all the heals incoming to myself and my party members and then suddenly stop working and start up again later. I've been unable to figure out how to reproduce this consistently. Sometimes I will be getting healed, it will show the incoming heals, and on the very next heals, with the same spell being cast on the same target (without the healer ever changing targets, just chain-casting), it will suddenly stop working.

Is this a known issue? I've tried disabling all other addons apart from pitbull4 beta9, a fresh install of WoW with all the saved variables and other caches cleared and still get the same results.

Heya, changed from pitbull3 to pitbull4 beta9 for 3.3.3, got everything working like I had it in 3 except that the visualheal part doesn't work. No incomming heals are being shown from myself, my party or anyone else.

Please fix this as it is so vital for PvP. :<

After playing around with this. I can't reproduce this. The only things that I can think of is that a broken combat log can cause HoT spells to break or some sort of lag issues that lag out your comm traffic from the healer. There are a lot of things outside our control that can break the VisualHeal display.

I've been using PitBull4 for a few months now and absolutely love it. But I'm having trouble with the Visual Heals. I want to enable Overheals on my Target/Party frames but have it disabled on my "Raid" frames. I have separate layouts for each but it seems if I Check/Uncheck the Overheal option on any layout it applies to all other layouts too. Is this a bug? How it works? Or am I doing something wrong?

Check the spacing, padding and margin options on the General tab under Indicators. This may explain why it's not where you're expecting it to be.

Hey I am slowly making the transition from PB3. Have to say ty for a very good addon, it takes some getting used to but works very well.

However, is there any way to adjust the exact position of the totem indicators? Mine seem to be about 5 pixels too far to the left and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to move them slightly to the right.

Thank you.

You're looking for the RoleIcon indicator.

Had an issue with pitbull frames either not displaying or showing as a large green block (no text no divisions, same rendering as my settings), I found disabling DogTag module fixed this for me.

Havent seen anything mensioned about this, but if it has forgive me.

Noticed that I no longer can get the powerbar to show as classcolor when its a NPC, always shows as the powercolor instead even with the "Color by class" ticked.
For targeting myself or other players it does show the classcolor however.

Tried starting it fresh without anything in WTF but still did not work, using latest update so I have no problems with the % and such, only the color on target powerbar.8

Macphee: Yes you missed a core mechanic of the configuration: Layouts. Please the FAQ.

Macphee, I just upgraded from 3.0 to 4.0 tonight... mostly because with both PB3.0 and Wowhead looter running at the same time, I was getting some serious issues. As in.. couldn't login issues. Could be WHL and not Pitbull, but this was as good an excuse as any to upgrade since the old code isn't being enhanced anymore.

That said, everything you asked about is do-able in 4.0. I was a bit irritated at first, because I don't like change usually. I had been using 3.0 since 2007 or earlier, I think... (or some version of pitbull when the previous unit frames I was using stopped being updated)... and the thought of not having the config menu be the same frustrated me a little bit. But, I took a deep breath, drank a little Guinness, and dove in. And you know what? 4.0 isn't half bad. And it's not all that hard to configure. I have duplicated my 3.0 layout pretty closely... it's not pixel perfect, but it'll do. Took me a couple hours, but I'm like that... particular. :P

Anyway, just set up a layout for each frame type, and configure that layout. You can make each frame look completely different if you like. I have a bunch of different layouts: PB3Player, PB3Party, PB3Target, etc. They don't all have to be the same. AND, taking a cue from a getting started page here, you can run both 3.0 and 4.0 concurrently so you can have your old frames up for reference as you recreate them in 4.0.

If 4.0 is lighter than 3.0 with memory, etc, then I'm quite happy with it.
