PitBull Unit Frames 4.0 - WoW AddOns

PitBull4 is a continuation of PitBull.

It is currently experimental.

Differences from PitBull 3:

It's not done
Documentation is written before functions
Much easier for third-party extensions.
Options will be much, much simpler. In 3.0, there's about 200 panels that you can mess with, it's overwhelming. I want to bring this down to somewhere around 10.
- Layouts are defined deterministically and unit groups use the layout rather than ad-hoc layouts on a per-unit basis. This will make setting up your unit frames far, far easier.
- Due to some decisions made, 4.0 is actually more configurable than 3.0. As a layout designer, you will have a lot more control over how things look. You can have different fonts on the same frame, different textures, more precise positioning, and a whole slough of other things.
CPU Efficiency will be taken much more seriously.
It uses Ace3 instead of Rock.

I use pitbull 3.0 i have an awesome setup. for some reason i can no longer edit the options the pitbull tab doesnt open up and i recieve some errors also my focus frame doesnt work at all. i believe its because its outdated. I tried installing 4.0 thinking it was just an upgraded version but its completely different and messes up my whole setup how do i fix this?

Lorenszo: If you're using any custom LUA Texts, it's possible for the LUA text to leak. There was a tooltip-scraping text out there that leaked a ton of memory.

Hello There!

Just switched from Xperl and was wanting to use this for a week or so to get a good feel of it.

Got a big issue early on. I am unable to find the settings to disables the "Auras" for the player frame.

The only frames I want auras to show up are on the "target" and "target of target" frames.

If anyone can help me out I greatly appreciate it! Other than that Pitbull looks great!

Lorenszo, Raids create more frames that solo or 5 man party playing. We can't delete frames (a limitation of WoW itself). We do reuse frames as much as possible. But ultimately, the frames use memory. Memory usage really isn't a huge concern. Addon memory usage is really a very very very tiny proportion of the memory that WoW uses.

Addtionally, if you're using an embedded version (which if you don't know if you are or aren't you are), then memory usage of the libraries that we use and that may also be used by other addons that you have installed may be being attributed to PitBull. Instead of to these specific libraries and addons.

Just curious if anyone else has ran across this. During raids my memory usage for pitbull goes from it's usual 2ish and continues to balloon from there, until i reload my ui (normally reset it when it gets up around 15). I can't think of what might be causing it.

just a suggestion on the range fader:

elseif class == "DEATHKNIGHT" then
   enemy_spells .....
   friendly_spells[#friendly_spells+1] = GetSpellInfo(47541) -- Death Coil
   res_spells ....

not all dks have hysteria. So if you are not blood, the range for allies to fade in, will be melee range.

Deathcoil is the only targeted skill that a dk can cast on allies (the healing version if the target is undead) besides hysteria, only difference is that every dk have deathcoil =).

Liantha to add color you need to meddle with LUA texts.

Just started using this mod....excellent mod that requires a fair bit of patience to get into.

One thing I am looking to do is actually change the color of the text on my bars. I want to have HP in one color, and then the names on the bars as a diff color....yet I cant see the option for this anywhere.

Is it possible?

(Im probably being idiotic but I really cant see it :/

Which spell? There isn't a way I know of to check for the presence of a spell by spellid, instead name+rank+icon is checked (which can be determined from the spellid using GetSpellInfo.)

Help! I want to create a custom lua text that checks for a certain buff on my enemy, but via a SpellID, not the name of the spell, because I wanna check for a certain spell but there's a lot of buffs sharing its name in the game. Thanks in advance.
