I tried pitbull on cataclysm beta realms and observed that after targeting something wow lags for ~0,5sec. Well I know this kinda sucks for a bugreport but I cannot tell you anything more^^ Are you aware of this bug?

Thanks

Try here for Tank frames (and tank targets and tank targets targets!): http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/pages/guide/tank-frames/

Just do a search for LUA texts with google and you will see several sites that discuss custom texts.

GL!

Thank you, your first link was very helpful. I use to manage very well Pitbull 3 but this one is not the same.
I'll have a look this afternoon for LUA texts.
Thanks again.

Hi. I was using Pitbull 3 and since it won't be updated any more, I tried to go for Pitbull 4. So far I managed to do pretty much what I wanted but I still have some problems. I am using v4.0.0-beta11 if it can help you to answer me.

- I don't have any MT target frame. I looked everywhere and I can't find any option de make them appear. Any idea?
- Can you tell me where to find an easy tutorial on how to change "Lua" texts on my frames please? (I am not very good with that stuff sorry :s)

Thank you

Its certainly different, but for my experience... simpler once you grasp the new concepts!

Just an additional note for you, If you are familiar with DogTags you can still use DogTag texts with PB4. Check the FAQ linked above for how to change. However most people have found their performance to be better with LUA texts instead of DogTags :)

Hi - first great addon been using it for years. I have a question concerning the new Druid 'eclipse' bar/frame that now shows under the default UI portrait for balance druids in cataclysm. I know PB shows the runes for DK's (eg) - is it possible to have it show this new 'frame' above the player frame? I looked in the config but didn't see any option for it. Thanks in advance.

It's already working in Cataclysm and yes it'll be continued.

The border of the buffs/debuffs on my UI are red, and I want to make the buffs green. Can you tell me where to change this option?

thanks

There are two ways of getting the raid icons. One is Interface\TargetingFrame\UI-RaidTargetingIcons, this texture had all the icons in a single texture spaced out in specific locations. The other way is there are separate textures for each icon which are named like so: Interface\TargetingFrame\UI-RaidTargetingIcon_1, where 1 is 1 through 8.

Most of the older code uses the single texture and figures texture coordinates to use to only show the icon they want. Blizzard added the newer textures when they let you put the icons in the chat box because there was no way to do texture coordinates encoded in text.

The menu you're seeing isn't generated by PitBull4 but rather by the game itself. We just tell it to display the menu. We have changed the option for Set Focus to be Typee /focus to Set Focus so that people will stop complaining about that menu, but other than that, we don't change the menus at all.

I don't really understand why you can't find the code at all, it's in RaidTargetIcon.lua under the RaidTargetIcon menu. GetTexture and GetExampleTexture should be pretty straightforward.

We're using the newer textures and whatever you're using isn't providing them. This probably means the icons in text won't change to your new icons either.

Hello, I'm using a modified UI-RaidTargetingIcons.blp file. As you can see in the screenshot, the pitbull menu recognizes the changes, but the unit frame does not. I can't seem to find the relevant piece of code. Can someone tell me what's going wrong? Thanks.

When I change talent spec, default blizzard frames (player, pet, target) appear. I need to disable "Hide default Blizzard frames" function and then re-enable it in order to hide them again.

Some other addon is showing them. You need to identify the addon and turn the frames off in that addon. There are several addons that assume they are the only addon that lets you hide frames, then will show the frames that aren't set in their addon to be hidden when various things happen (like zoning, spec change, etc). THis is covered in our FAQ. Look there.

On Groups or Units did you perhaps check "Click-through" ?

question about MTT and MTTT. I created 2 groups from the faq, but i cannot figure out how to make them click-able. I can click on MT and it targets MT, but the other 2 boxes are not click-able to change to that target.

im sure its something ive forgotten to turn on, but cant figure it out. thx

Great job quys. I found it really difficult the first time I tried to use as the layout-units-groups-config mode bits just didn't seem to click with me but I think I've got it now.

A suggestion I'd like to make for a future release...
For indicators in the layout editor in the location drop down please add support for edge-xxxx to more of the different types of indicators, but more specifically runes and combo points. At present I have runes/combo points attached to portrait with location set to bottom however this covers up the portrait a bit much. If their were an edge-bottom location option available this would be great as I'd expect it to move the runes/combo points down at least half of its height like it appears to do on those that do have edge-xxx locations (i.e the indicator when using edge straddles the edge 50-50 with its height or width appropriately.
