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 decided to make a couple of modules for myself, both fader modules. One makes my player frame fade out if I'm resting but not casting or targeting anything, and the second forces the frame to use 100% alpha if I mouse over it. The mouseover module was tricky because of the fact that the lowest returned alpha from all fader modules is applied to the frame, and I wanted to have an alpha of 1 override all others. The way I ended up doing this was by setting PitBull's "opacity_min" to 1 when the frame is moused over. For this to work, however, I had to edit the GetFinalFrameOpacity() function in FaderModule to
return max(low, layout_db.opacity_min)

instead of
return low

I tried to avoid needing to edit the PitBull source code, but I couldn't find a way around it.

I was just wondering if there was any way some kind of override functionality could be implemented, whether in a module or in a future version of PitBull itself.

Hm.. k this sounds as if there is some serious coding required, which I don't feel like I can do ;) I just have to life with the tiny symbols I guess.
Thanks for the fast reply!

Question: Is it possible to change the Icons the RoleIndicator uses? Cause when scaled bigger they get really blurry and pixelated ;)

You'd have to edit the module to do it but yes. We're just using the icons that Blizzard provides.

I wouldn't call it serious coding. Just adding a different texture file to your Interface folder and editing the path in the RoleIcon.lua file to have a different path. Only downside would be you'll have to edit the RoleIcon.lua file every time you update.

The only difficult part would be making the texture since all the icons are in a single texture so you'll have to size and lay them out the same.

I've thought about making an easier way for people to be able to modify the texture files without having to edit the files. I just haven't gotten to it yet.

Your vehicle is your pet. You probably want to turn on the Player's Pet frame under Units and on your Player and the Player's Pet frame check the Swap with vehicle/owner checkboxes.

Hello, I love your work. I have one question, while in a vehicle (like the Tournament mount) I can't see the vehicle's health anywhere.

I've checked everywhere (so i thought) but I can't find it in units, modules or settings. Where does one find/configure/activate the player's vehicle?

(PS: When in a party, i DO see my party members vehicles as their own health bar.)

Hello. I was hoping someone could tell me why the Blizzard unit frames and Pitbull unit frames are showing at the same time. I have "Hide Blizzard Frames" Enabled so this shouldn't be happening. Please help.

~Thank You

You have to modify the LuaText or DogTag code for the text to change the color.

Also, how do I get the Portrait to only show on Player and Target frames and not on other frames such as Party and Target or Target?

You need to make a different Layout for each frame that you want to be configured differently. See this guide for help with that:

It can be done in the layout editor for whichever frame is desired. just be sure you have the right one selected when editing. Check around in the tabs in the editor, there's a lot of them.

Hello. How do I customize the text for each frame? I want Player and Target frames to have informative text (such as health number and %), but I want the Target of Target from to only show the unit's name. I used to be able to do this in Pitbull3.

Heya, changed from pitbull3 to pitbull4 beta9 for 3.3.3, got everything working like I had it in 3 except that the visualheal part doesn't work. No incomming heals are being shown from myself, my party or anyone else.

Please fix this as it is so vital for PvP. :<

After using pitbull4 beta9 for about 30 hours now I've noticed the visualheal module working sporadically. Sometimes it will show all the heals incoming to myself and my party members and then suddenly stop working and start up again later. I've been unable to figure out how to reproduce this consistently. Sometimes I will be getting healed, it will show the incoming heals, and on the very next heals, with the same spell being cast on the same target (without the healer ever changing targets, just chain-casting), it will suddenly stop working.

Is this a known issue? I've tried disabling all other addons apart from pitbull4 beta9, a fresh install of WoW with all the saved variables and other caches cleared and still get the same results.

After playing around with this. I can't reproduce this. The only things that I can think of is that a broken combat log can cause HoT spells to break or some sort of lag issues that lag out your comm traffic from the healer. There are a lot of things outside our control that can break the VisualHeal display.
