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 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.

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.

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.

I updated to beta 9 and the Target Frame is working properly and there is no more stuttering, at least in solo play, gotta test it on a party or raid.

Your issues may be explained by the errors we were throwing with beta8 since an API we used was removed with 3.3.3. Beta9 obviously includes a fix for this.

I'm having frame-rate problems (stuttering) with the new patch and pitbull beta 8. Every time I enter combat or target a mob/player my frame rate goes down. I noticed that the Target frame is broken and the stutter happens when something in it changes (new combo point or debuff, heal lvl etc)so making combat almost imposible.

I notice that beta 9 is up I'll try it and report back if problems persist.

With just pitbull running. No other addon.
Solo, just in Tirisfal.

Video is smooth, great, nothing wrong.
Kill a bat, fps shoots to 20fps. Only happening with pitbull on so there is no conflict. It is quite mind boggling actually.

Here's an odd one:
With pitbull enabled: Starts 200-ish FPS as normal.
Get in combat, get out of combat - Drops to 70-50-30-12 then hovers around 20.
Without pitbull enabled: Stays around 200 like it should.
This is with the new beta.

There's nothing in this beta that should really impact performance over the last one. It's all basically bug fixes and a few minor enhancements.

Can you be more specific about how you're reproducing this. Solo play, party, raid? Can you reproduce this with only PitBull4 running and no other addons? There's always the possibility of some other addon is causing an interaction.

For that matter are you possibly moving your camera around? I can make pretty dramatic changes in my frame rates by moving my camera around, especially in the outside world with draw distances turned up.

One other comment I'll make, the patch caused your local cache to be cleared. Which means info on spells, items, tooltips for those things and what not that normally are cached locally have to be pulled from the server. There's almost always a performance hit after a patch for a while until people have the cache rebuilt and the servers are overloaded with cache misses. No idea if this is related to your specific problem. But it might just spontaneously stop if it is.

Well I can say that I can't reproduce this. Also are you on Windows? It's possible this is some sort of Windows specific issue. Since I'm on a Mac.

Can you turn off modules slowly until you can't reproduce it anymore. Perhaps it's something related to a specific module. Start with the ones that are least important like "VisualHeal" and "CastBarLatency" and work your way towards more critical things. Turn one off at a time, see if you can reproduce and continue until you see it stop.

beta9 will be up on curse momentarily. I always have a release ready. It takes me some time to get on the live servers, check that there aren't any unexpected problems and to tag the release. If you're that impatient that you can't wait for me to tag the release you can always use the alpha from wowace until I do. The alphas always have the code that will be in the next release.
