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 and Wrath Classic!
Some things that are different with the Classic Era version:
- 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.
using the layout editor you create new layouts for each new appearance & behaviour you want to apply to a particular frame.
For example , i have player layout, a target layout, a party layout, a pet layout etc etc.
I apologize if this is a known issue or not. I installed Pitbull 4.0 yesterday, and so far I love it, but I'm getting a strange issue. Every now and then, usually in combat, my target and ToT window will disappear completely. I can target things like normal, but the window just isn't there. Usually after combat it fixes itself. Last nite I had to go almost the entire Loatheb fight without any target windows =\. I'm not sure if a layout setting is causing this or what. I'll try to get some details on reproducing the issue today.
Someone asked about adding an auto hide Party Frames while in raid with more then 5 people. Any chance this is going to be added soon?
Got a quick question, it seems when i go to the layout editor and edit something for a unit bar it edits it the same for ALL the unit bars. So, how do I just edit something for separate bars?
I really like this addon so far, great job.
adaroundtown, You can try. No idea what's causing the crash so it's really hard to have any idea what you could do.
cheers for the info. i did send the error message along to blizzard when it happened, so, hopefully they'll be able to fix it on their end. just wondering, then, if maybe deleting the pitbull 4 lua from my wtf folder and starting fresh might work. what do you think?
There's no eta. Ckknight has been busy on other things. This is something that we all work on in our spare time. Some weeks we may find lots of time to work on it and lots of progress will happen. Other weeks almost nothing will happen.
I use PB3, anyway I can import the settings in to PB4 so I don't have to re-do my UI?
However, it's much easier to set things up in 4.0. I literally spent hours getting 3 to where I wanted it to be but 4 I got to a nearly identical set-up in about 15 minutes.
I've had to go back to 3 until 4 gets raid frames in... can't wait though. :) I've already told my guild mates about the new easy setup and a lot of them are eager to try it out. They mostly only use x-perl now because 3 is so daunting if you don't have the time to spend to figure out the setup.
My Gm even tossed ClassTimers because he can set the new Auras module to do the same thing. :)
Just wondering what the ETA on implimenting Raid Frames into Pitbull 4 is?
Yup the ticket you posted was a WoW crash. This is a Blizzard bug. Seems that sometimes when a lot of frames get created it crashes the WoW client. Really nothing we can do about it. Send the bug report to Blizzard.
i posted a ticket not too long ago with an error report if it helps
hi there. thanks again for getting back. i wasn't in combat when i tried to do it, just hanging out in the air field in BT. though, as i'd said earlier, i had tried once while on a gryphon from EPL to IF (i guess you thought i meant "in a fight" as opposed to "in flight"). i tried it several different times with the same result.
adaroundtown, That's the right dropdown. You can't use config mode in combat. We can't show or hide frames during combat ourselves since they are secure frames and are locked down. So that's why it didn't work.
thanks for the quick reply. are you talking about the dropdown which offers solo, party, etc. options? tried switching to party and was booted. i was in flight when i did so, so this might have been a factor. this happened twice though, and can't remember whether i was in flight the first time it happened. sorry, i'm lame and didn't think to copy the error for you.
adaroundtown, There is a config mode yes. Dropdown box in the top left of the config window. Note that there are no raid frames implemented yet.
another thing i'm curious if i missed or not: i'd like to optimize my group/raid/etc. layouts, but do i need to actually be in a group to do so? likewise pets and targets. is there an option to show dummy frames for set up?
Ah thank you for the info Shefki. Was wondering that for some time too. Assumed you guys had simply been too busy to update every changelog.
