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.

We were at Blizzcon catching real life cold and flu bugs instead. I must say... code bugs don't feel as bad D:

Glad you got it worked out :D

If you are wanting a class icon in addition to the portrait you will need to use the Pitbull4 extras module.

If you were just wanting a class icon with no portrait... its in the portrait module under Indicators.

@jimy8083: To do that, you need to make a layout for player and one for the target. Check the link to the excellent guides in the description above on how to do that.

Sorry I miss spoke in my earlier post. What I want to be able to do is hide the buffs, debuffs, and cast bar for the player frame while still keeping the buffs, debuffs, and cast bar for the target frame and I can't seem to be able to figure it out.

Is there any way to move the Combo Points/ Holy Power / Runes / Shards separately from the frame they are attached to? I love the way they look, but I can't seem to figure out how get them away from the frame.

Not at this time. If you currently do not want those attached to the frame then you will need to use another add on.

This is a popular request and I know there has been some progress on making this type of ability possible... just not done yet. Patience Padawan!

True but if the wheel is bloated and all someone wishes is a simple module. Less memory = better playability. If this was true you wouldn't have included any segment to show healing either =). Because another add-on could have done that. Sometimes a bare bones module is much more preferred.

Actually this could go with the saying with so many of your included modules. Yet they exist as well.

You're seriously going to call Clique bloated? It does one thing and does it very well. It doesn't have code specific to different unit frames but rather has a standard well defined interface that unit frame mods register with.

The modules included in PitBull4 almost entirely create a visual element that is attached to our unit frame. Usually because it replaces some functionality that is provided by the default UI in some way. Your example of the VisualHeal module is a poor example because it would be difficult for a single addon to display healing on every unit frame's bars because the author would have to maintain code to deal with every unit frame.

There are exactly two modules that don't provide an integrated visual experience with the unit frames. The Sound module and the Hide Blizzard module. Both are relatively trivial modules and easy to maintain. The sound module is reproducing default UI behavior. The HideBlizzard module is providing functionality that 99% of our user base expects us to provide.

Providing a click casting module would require something that takes more maintenance. We'd need to provide a user interface for binding the spells and other abilities. Additionally, the code to actually process the bindings is not entirely trivial.

Clique is very much a standard. Very few unit frames actually provide their own binding interface and I think you actually listed the entire list. By being a standard Clique provides a better user experience. You set your bindings up with Clique and they work no matter what unit frame you use. If you want to use grid for your raid frames and pitbull4 for your singletons you can share the bindings between them.

Fewer addons don't make them lighter overhead. We'd have to duplicate 90% of the code in Clique. In doing so we'd be spending a lot of time for little gain.

Use Clique, there's no reason to reinvent the wheel.

Under Modules Make sure Portrait is enabled.
Under Layout Editor > Indicators > Portrait

We did give hem feedback about the UI as part of the Cata BETA survey... however they didn't really have an Interface and UI panel like they have in the past. :(

Alas it is not available at this time. I do know there are other portrait add ons that will play nice with PB4, but ours is a bit limited.
