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.

NPCs don't really have a class. I realize that some NPCs behave like certain classes, but the game always provides NPC classes as Warrior, Paladin or Mage. Which isn't particularly useful. So I can't really imagine why anyone would want to color by class for NPCs.

Isn't it possible to have NPCs' healthbars showing in classcolor? Annoying problem..

edit. I got "Color by Class" and "Color PVP by Class" checked, none of the other ones in the active layout.

Set the name to attach to the unit frame instead of the health bar and choose the appropriate position from there.

Is there a way to position 'name' above the unit frame instead of on the health bar?
I like to use the long version of health & percentage and so most of the time only half of the name is shown.

thx

@Mydr, tell me how you did what you wanted with PB3 and I might be able to point you in the right direction.

@Ventriloquist, You can use the IsMouseOver() function in your LuaTexts code. If you take a look at the wowace forums thread or the elitistjerks thread on LuaTexts you should be able to find some examples using this.

Will PB4 eventually include an option to show text elements on mouse hover? I'd like to suppress health/power numbers when not hovering over the frame.

(If this is possible, but just not exposed in the configuration panel, please point me in the right direction.)

Very pleased with the overall progress with the rewrite, folks, excellent work.

Why is it that if I join a party, it wont show anyone. If I join a raid, it wont show anyone. I configged everything I need for each type, party, 10, 20 and it is completely screwed up. Wont show anything.

There's no raid frames by default, so if you haven't made a group for raid frames you won't have any. My guess is that your show when filter settings on whatever groups you have made aren't set properly.

Go to Groups, select the group you want to look at in the Current Group dropdown and then go to the filtering tab.

I've got a pretty specific question if anyone's a master of all things PB4. I'm a stubborn git and just switched over from PB3 and I'm looking to have my mana and health bar separate and have their own white sort of border. If anyone knows how to make that happen it would be much appreciated.

As well I'm a bit slow at setting up buffs/debuffs on a target, but I'm sure I can figure that out with some tinkering.

Hi Shefki,

Long time PB user, thanks for an indispensable addon.

Question: I see no group filter type option for MainTank in the location indicated in the FAQ / Guide, and am trying to create a main tank frame group for display in raid. Is this functionality no longer included in the latest build? Was it removed for some reason, or am I just blind?

Thanks, WArd

Use multiple layouts. One for each frame that you want configured differently. See the FAQ and/or Guide if you need more help with this.

Could some one tell me how to make pitbull only show a limited amount of buffs on the player unit frame but allow more buffs to be visible on target frames and focus frames

@pax2, I'm not aware of anyone that has implemented a bar module for combo points or runes. Don't think there's really anything preventing that from being implemented, just that nobody has done it.

@Anguish, Been asked many times on the LuaTexts thread, search for realm here: http://forums.wowace.com/showthread.php?t=16955

Just hasn't been implemented. I have a proof of concept to add it back in but just haven't finished it.

Pitbull 4 will configure just as much (and in fact more) than Pitbull 3. It's just a bit confusing first run. You create a bunch of different layouts for each unit frame that you want to appear different in the Layout Editor i.e. one for Player, one for Others, one for Pets perhaps if that's your preference. Next, go to Units or Groups, select the Unit/Group you want to affect, and next select the Layout in the dropdown you want to use i.e. select the Player unit and then assign the Player layout you made earlier. Then select Player's Pet and assign the Pet layout you made. Select Target and assign the 'Other' layout you made, or if you made a specific layout for Targets then use that. Continue the same way with each unit and do the same in the Groups panel as well.

Hope this helps!
