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.

You need to make a new layout. In PB3 each frame had its own layout. In order to duplicate a layout you repeated your steps. In PB4 you can make as many or as few layouts as you like. So when you want one frame to look different from another frame, just make a new layout. There are instructions on how to make layouts in the guide linked above.

Sorry, I'm not really familiar on how to upload a screenshot to the Curse forum.
However, I took note of the framestack code, hopefully it might help.
The "stuck" area has the following Framestack quote :
Frame Stack (662.19, 432.64)
MEDIUM
<2> Pitbull4_BetterStatusBar_39
<1> Pitbull 4_Frames_targettarget
<1> SpellActivationOverlayFrame
<0> UIParent
WORLD
<0> WorldFrame

After moving the cursor around, the Framestack code of the area that allows me to move the same aforementioned frame is :
Frame Stack (711.68, 394.24)
MEDIUM
<18> Pitbull4_Frame_136
<2> Pitbull4_BetterStatusBar_37
<1> Pitbull4_Frames_targettarget
<1> SpellActivationOverlayFrame
<0> UIParent
WORLD
<0> WorldFrame

Apparently the "stuck" area did not only block me from moving Pitbull frame, but also preventing me from doing anything in the game within that area, such as panning my camera, turning my camera, interacting with NPC, etc.

Thank you for the follow up! We will look into this.

You can not upload images to Curse, just link from an image hosting site. :)

Hi, when setting up the singleton frames on Pitbull, often times I won't be able to move a certain frame (while I can move others freely), as if it is click-through even though I didn't see it so. Only after loading and reloading will I usually be able to move it again, only to have another frame "stuck" after doing more customization. Is there something that I have done incorrectly?

When next you see that happen can you type /framestack and move your mouse over the "stuck" frame and then take a picture of the tooltip?

That will help us nail down where the issue is coming from. :)

I believe this is actually a mouse tracking bug with WoW itself. I've had it happen to me a couple of times. Reloading the UI or logging out and back in won't fix it. You have to completely exit the game. Which is why I'm inclined to think it's a Blizzard bug.

The option for "Absolute and Percent" does just that.

I cant see buffs/debuffs on the player frame. i can see them on every other frame and have the same settings as far as i can tell for the player frame as well. I am running Elkano's but that's never interfered before. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Hmm I'm not seeing this behavior. Can you please tell me what version of EBB and what version of PB4 you are using?

And do the auras remain hidden or reappear when you turn EBB off?

sorry was away from computer a few days, I'm using version 4.0.0 - beta 13 of Pitbull. I turned off EBB and no buffs showed on my player frame at all on any class, I play druid, warrior, shammy and hunter. I'm using the same layout (normal) for my player frame and target of target frame and the ToT frame displays buffs/debuffs properly and the player frame does not.

There's an Absolute short lua text in there, and there's a percent lua text in there. I'd like to have both the absolute short and the percent in one lua text, if that's possible.

Ah okay I see, I understand that it's not on a high priority to add as I'm probably one of very few that's actually looking for something like this.

I used an old Caith UI version looong ago and I build this very UI from it, so it's very possible that he did some modifications in the lua file.

Anyway here's my pitbull3 lua file:

http://www.speedyshare.com/files/24734160/PitBull.lua

I really didn't do anything in the lua myself, just changing position of things ingame aswell as setting up a few frames.

I also forgot to add that as far as I can see I didn't use any sort of compliations or modifies to PB3 and about the rage part, whenever I had an player targeted it always had the default rage bar color as I have on my player frame.

The things that come to my mind is that bosses/Npc's without mana are counted as rage rather than an custom color - they can't gain rage either which makes it a "non-power bar"? As I can see whenever I enable the function "hide non-power" all power bar stays the same except for when I'm targeting an NPC that used to have a rage bar, then the whole bar disapears.

I suppose an feature like "custom color non-power" would fix the issue ^^

I'm fairly certain there should be a way, but I'm not 100% certain on how to achieve it. I'll poke shefki when he's home from work ^.~

Is there a way to set a color for NPC's/bosses power bar only? I had this with Pitbull 3 so that if a mob, npc or boss didn't have mana it would have a specific color rather than the normal rage bar color.

I just manage to finish my configuration again so it looks almost exactly like it did pre-patch :) Just a few things that annoys me.

Thanks for this great addon!

Kaz do you have any photos of your old PB3 layout of the target frame with an npc/boss? Visuals can be so helpful ^_^b

Sure, coming right up!

Pitbull3: http://oi56.tinypic.com/4r8eu1.jpg

Pitbull4: http://oi54.tinypic.com/2uo6v41.jpg

As you can see with pitbull 4 it just takes the ragebar color if it's a non-mana user NPC/Mob.

Damn couldn't find anywhere to edit post.

Anyway I managed to get the right coloring by setting custom background color, however that applies to players aswell so it messes up the coloring for that aswell.

Ok I think I have the solution!

Check "Custom Background" AND "Color PVP by Class" That will give your custom color if your target does not have an energy but will energy color that bar if they do.

Let me know if that solves your problem :)
