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.
Very usable so far, but still needs some tweaks. Couldn't get the portrait window to mimic PB3 behavior (treating it like a bar, basically, similar to Health/Power/etc.) - it wants to have a square portrait no matter what. Looking forward to further refinements :)
@doxxx: After testing one of the latest alpha releases, it's pretty usable but I wouldn't recommend installing it for full time use.
How usable would you consider PitBull4 to be in its current state? Is it something a bleeding edge tester could install or is it still in the "only its developer could love it" stage?
Ahh Ok got it, thanks.
could you include an converter for converting old PB3-Designs to PB4?
Would be awsome, cause it takes a lot of time to convert it by myself in the code. The other way is to rebuild it by the new Interface, but its difficult to rebuild it 100%.

H0PE, http://www.wowace.com/projects/pitbul.../pages/. By documentation, I mean API docs and specifications about the PitBull4 framework, not user documentation.
BTW: If the docs are made before the addon that measn I could read it already? Where is the documentation please, where could I access it?
Hi, really great job you've done here. But one little problem i cannot lock the frames
Hi, it's really a great update! but, still a big problem that: the "Target of target" frame's Portrait is broken, please fix it, thanks!
Mushgog, the idea is for you to gain customizability, actually. Things are arranged to be a lot easier to customize, though.
a question to someone who's played around with PB4:
exactly how much customization are you losing going from v3?
Cant set any options related to party frames. am I missing something here or its not working yet? Otherwise seems cool.
Some suggestion about opacity: add a global opacity settings because when you are at full health and power, then if you set the bar to be lower than 100% opaque the "main" frame area is still visible on 100% visibility... And that is a big black box, which is distracting and ugly. :)
Thanks for the update, seems much smoother and simpler than PB3.
Happy New Year!

Shadowstormx, thats supposed to be since its not finished yet ;) however, group support was implemented a few hours ago. so you should get that with the newest version (but no raidframes yet)
Other resto druids and I started using Pitbull primarily because of the module "Pitbull_Lifebloombar." This (with Pitbull) is the only addon that puts a timer bar for this spell on the actual unit frame, which is very powerful when used with a "Click2Cast."
Currently in the comments for Pitbull_Lifebloombar, there's much discussion on getting this great module for Pitbull.3 to work for other spells/abilities.
Pitbull is awesome, but imo would be ultimate if there were a timer bar for ANY spell/ability on a unit frame. And not just HOTs... DOT timers on enemy frames, the works. Wow.
Please consider this in the development on this already awesome addon.
Thanks again ckknight! And to Vaeyl for work on Pitbull_Lifebloombar!
I do love Pitbull, though, whether it be 3 or 4, and little timer bar things for every unit frame to show dots/ hots counting down would be incredibly awesome.
I love this mod already seems to be one problem. I cannot see UI frames for my group members or raid members.
Tested the latest Alpha, and I have to say its looking great. Can't wait for the first beta release.
Took the latest release for a test drive, just for the hell of it. It's looking good. I like the new options window, for sure.
Pitbull is famed for its in-depth customization, I agree with woodbird. Improving ease of customization, not necessarily reducing the possibilities, and improving CPU Efficiency are all great things. I'll continue to watch the progress. I'm really excited to see what will come!
