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.

Have you updated to beta9, this sounds like the sort of thing that not updating could cause.

It's not possible to import, the addons are too different.

Sorry if this has been asked before - but can we some how import settings from pitbull 3 to 4 so that I don't have to spend like 1 hr to re do all my configurations?

You have something else attached to inside middle. Probably the combat text, since that's where it is by default.

/pitbull
Layout Editor
Select the appropriate layout you want.
Texts
Select Combat text as the Current text (probably will be selected as it's the default)
Make sure it's not set to Inside, Middle.

I gotta say ckknight. I am/was a hardcore Pitbull 3 advocate. However I am also a programmer of sorts and know sometimes its just simply time to upgrade. About 6 months or so ago I tried Pitbull 4 and completely and utterly despised it. It was near impossible to accomplish even the most minor feat in P4. However with the new patch completely breaking pitbull and the game I decided to give it a try.

In about 15 minutes or so I had all my frames completely configured to where I needed them to be. Looking the way I wanted them to look and behaving the way i wanted them to behave.

Pitbull 4 has my vote.

Thanks for another great addon ckknight and all those involved.

I went ahead and re-downloaded it, then deleted my previous files and re-installed them. I will be raiding again tomorrow night and will tell you what happens! Thank you for your quick responses. =)

Do you have an error from this? Because honestly it sounds like you didn't actually update properly (like possibly just dragging the entire folder from the zip file into AddOns rather than dragging the folders inside the folder from the zip file into AddOns).

You can check which version you're running by typing /pb and looking at the Version info in the top right corner.

Been using pitbull4 for a few months now, and it's great. I love it.

The fix doesn't seem to be working in raids though. It was fine after I updated, and then once I got into a raid I had the same problems that I did before: Name and other text information disappearing off my target's frame, no buffs except Chill of the Throne showing up, et cetera.

Okay, I tested in a raid tonight, and I figured out what the problem had been. Somehow one of the files duplicated itself in the folder, and I fixed the issue. The new file is working fine.

Thank you Shefki!

Yeah Blizzard removed some code that's causing some issues with the HideBlizzard module and the focus frame. Try this alpha and see if it fixes it for you:

You can change anything that you want. You can actually change a hell of a lot more things with PB4 than PB3. The only difference is there is an additional level of abstraction:

PB3 had the configuration for each frame flat out set.
PB4 has the configuration encapsulated in a Layout, which you can then apply to one frame or as many frames as you want.

Part of the reason for this is that we allow multiple groups and will soon allow multiple units (you could have two target frames). So the concept of a per frame config is pretty inadequate for this design.

I had a similar attitude as you when I made the switch to PB4. PB3 was a great addon, and no one who enjoyed using it will disagree. However, PB4 does the same stuff and more. I know it's often times hard to learn a new way of doing the same thing when the old way has become to feel so natural.

I guarantee once you figure out the nuances of PB4 you'll wonder how come you wanted to hang onto PB3 for so long. Honestly, the configuration process is that much better. Setups that might take hours to make in PB3 can be done in a fraction of the time with PB4. All I can say is stick with working with PB4, because as Shefki states it's much easier to make a transition early then hope for someone else to support an old addon or even recreate it.

For each frame that you want a different layout, you need to make a different layout.

You can apply layouts to multiple frames or to one frame.

You may want to look at the guide linked above if you are having trouble.

this being said when PB3 is no longer *ACTIVE* i will find a UI that is like PB3 so i can change what i want when i want. Thank you for making a great addon that i have been using for almost 2 years and i hope someone out there makes one JUST like it.

I don't know how this is "simpler" then 3.0 because now i have no idea how to change what i want to be change without changing something else. Removing all the panels removed the customization of it and is there anyway for me to load my 3.0 profile on 4.0 so i don't have to learn this new and VERY annoying interface?

I just updated from 3.0 and am having a similar difficulty. Is there an option to customize each panel individually that we're missing?

Make a new layout for each frame/group that you want to be different. Default config only has one layout "Normal." When you make a new layout it copies the layout you currently have selected. So you can use that to quickly make similar layouts. Once you've made your layout apply it to the frame/group by selecting it from the Layout dropdown in Units or Groups.
