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'm getting a swathe of errors mostly like this:

Interface\AddOns\PitBull4_Aura\Update.lua:507: PitBull4_FontString_4:SetText(): Font not set

But also ones concerning quartz (are they not compatible?) and many many more pitbull four ones

It was working fine until I joined a group for an instance run, we wiped and after that I was disconnected and it completely bugged out, and does it every time I log in

edit:

since updating it today, the group party has been showing everyone in the raid and not just the 5 in my party. I remember there being a filter for like Show only Group 1.2.3. etc but i either can not find it or it was removed/moved :(

Really not sure what I was thinking when I made that change. Reverted, updated alpha packages should show up soon with it put back. Honestly though, you really should only be using beta versions unless you are prepared to deal with some weirdness sometimes.

I am prepared to deal with the weirdness, I use the alpha versions to help test and report bugs to addons when I find them :)

Same here, just upgraded from beta4 to beta5 and although the minimap button is showing and all the config seems as it was previously, no PitBull frames are showing, just the Blizzard ones. Any ideas?

Doh, solved it - gmfagundes, did you have WoW already open when you updated? beta5 seems to have changed Pitbull4 from being a single addon to being a few dozen separate ones, as Pitbull3 was. All the new addons will not be picked up until you fully exit and restart WoW (that solved the problem for me)

I'd point you to some of the guides I linked a couple pages back. We are using a different model than we did with PB3. Once you understand the model it is actually easier to configure. But if you're coming from PB3 it is probably confusing.

What exactly doesn't work. I'm sure we have bugs, but saying half of the addon doesn't work is simply an exageration.

I have no idea what you mean by click configure. If you want to configure click bindings for spell casts use Clique we don't provide that feature and won't. Clique does a great job with this and there's no reason to include it in this addon.

No it's not possible, you have to reconfigure.

Is it possible to use PB3 layouts with PB4? Or do i have to reconfigure all things from scratch?

Can you be more specific. Under what situations. Mouseover, target, or do you mean aura highlights.

Is it possible to truncate custom lua text strings or am I wasting my time trying to do it? I'm looking for a way to clip character names to 3 letters without ellipses for tiny raid frames.

Heylp! ;)

strsub is the function you're looking for:
http://www.wowwiki.com/API_strsub

short_variable = strsub(variable, 1, 3) would get the first 3 characters in the string located in variable.

Much appreciated.

Thanks for putting out such an awesome addon, I'm actually addicted to playing around with new unit frame designs and layouts. :D
