PitBull Unit Frames 4.0
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-classic
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 like a dutch translation of this project :) i can help Translate(im dutch :)
It's coming along very nice, but i currently have a layout that i can't seem to recreate in Pitbull 4, i like to have the Portrait as a bar in the centre but cropped slightly so it's not a square..
see attached link for my current style: http://homepage.mac.com/theiaind/.Pub.../ScreenShot_011909_191649.jpeg
But the options don't allow me to manipulate the portrait like they do in Pitbull 3 to get the same look
I have noticed you have added an option to add Portrait as a bar but i can only Left/Right align it and not centre it.
Is there any plans to allow more customization to the portrait part?
Wow... just wow! I've been a fan of Pitbull for a long time, but for various reasons switched in the last couple of weeks... I noticed PB4 here and thought, "It sounds alpha-quality, but I can't resist", so I tried it out last night and I've switched to it full-time now.
It's been refactored very logically, and I love the options! The kind of control that I really like. I've gotten an occasional error message and had to logout once because it got stuck in configure mode, but I love it.
As far as raid frames, if I'm in a raid, I'm going to use Grid, so I'm one of the lucky ones that PB4 is nearly feature-complete for. I really like having buffs under the frame and debuffs above (more visible). I really like the option to have bars (health, mana, etc) go vertical, but fitting the text in then become very difficult...
Keep up the good work!
One bug to report is that if I try to set power (mana) text to simple (I think, or was it short or something like that), it gets a dogtags error that it is using a non-existent tag.
I'm not going to give any timelines for features, minicooepr42, you're just going to have to wait. I have other priorities in life than PitBull4. This is mostly something I do on the weekends or at night if I'm in the mood. That makes it very hard to draw out timelines.
Really great mod any idea how long raid units are gonna be?
I welcome the removal of Rock.
I'm really liking v4. Especially the new layout editor, and the X/Y positioning for the frames themselves.
Ooooh, and the saved vars are much cleaner, too!
I would love to have some some vertical & horizontal adjusters for the text objects once they are in there spots :
Very nice unitframe addon! btw i wonder when will this addon be beta version? Alpha is somewhat difficult to use to me.
Border options? Will there be any?
So far Pitbull 4 is much easier to configure and it's usable as is(Unless you raid, no raid frames, "yet"). Back in early August, before quitting World of Warcraft for Warhammer, I redid my UI and it took me almost two weeks to get Pitbull set up exactly how I wanted it. I recently started playing WoW again as of two days ago and I set up my unit frames exactly the way I had them before in less than 3 hours! Talk about an improvement! Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to a completed version of Pitbull 4.0.
bossmansmith, when it's done. It'll be a lot more complex (though probably less complicated) than PitBull 3.0, since I want to provide a lot more control, so I'm still fleshing out ideas.
any word on when raid frames will be implemented. not really totally usable until you can set up raid frames - that it will be such an improvement over pitbull 3.0
Do _not_ report bugs or feature requests in these comments. Use the ticket system. Also, make sure you're not duplicating an existing ticket.
Amazing!! I love the changes from PB3. Much easier to configure. Can't wait for raid frames
Couple of things.. my rune icons on my DK are not moveable - I like my player icon in the lower/centre part of my UI, the Rune CD icons seem stuck at the blizzard UI location.
Still some stuff missing:
Make an option for FrameStrata, PitBull obscures Blizzard's DK rune bar, maybe put PB one level down?
Be able to remove non-mana/energy bar at Target (NPCs for example.)
Make padding/spacing smaller between portrait and the rest.
Portrait still suffers from that some NPCs are shown fullbody. Add a customizable list so one can edit which NPCs need a fullBody setting in order to show correctly.
Colors! I miss the ability to change the color of the mana bar.
You can do settings for individual frames. You just have to make a layout for that frame and apply it to the frame. Go into layout editor. Next to the drop down there is a text edit box. Type a name for a new layout and click the button that appears next to edit box to make the layout. Set the settings in your layout that you want for whatever frame.
Now go down to the Units section. On the frame you want select the layout you just made.
The point of this is you can have as many frames sharing a config as you want or as few.
There are a lot of things that aren't implemented yet. It's still not even a beta. Raid Frames, Visual Heal, Filtering of Auras, etc etc etc...
PB4 is not meant to provide less configurability (once it's feature-complete), you can make separate individual settings for every single unit still if you so chose. (But chances are that you can reuse at least some of the units layouts with the modifiers.)
I would like to see visual heal put into this also. I would also like to be able to turn off certain things for different frames. Like auras for example. I only like them to show up on the party, party pets and target frames. Not on anything else. If i turn them off for me it turns them off for every frame. I use elkano buff bars so I don't need to see my buffs on my frame. It would be nice if you can place the portrait as a bar on the frame also like how it is in Pitbull 3. Unless I just haven't figured out oh to attach it that way. I do like the config window a lot. It's very nice!
Also, I was having a problem when in a party where the party pet frames weren't showing up. I had them enabled but they never showed up.
I didn't see an option for raid frames or raid pets frames. In Malygos I use the raid pets frames to be able to heal when everyone is on the drakes.
I'll check back for more changes to this but I think I'm going to stick with Pitbull 3 for now since it has a lot of small options I like still.
