I was wondering if you were ever planning to allow adding say an extra bar to the focus unit frame and have it display the focus target? Is this possible already and I am just missing it? Also I would like this feature to combine my pet frame...im a hunter...into a bar on my player frame.

Alright. Nevermind all my gibberish non-sense. I got this thing to work, with plenty Textures and fonts and all that. Right on!

Oh and, I find this 4th version far more messy than 3rd version, but it doesn't mean it's bad. I already got tons of ideas how to set this thing up, we'll see when I bother go through all stuff. :p

So Shefki you are saying, that this PitBull4 includes SharedMedia itself, and therefor I don't have to move my finger, besides from installing PitBull4, to get all Textures and shit for it?

EDIT: Alright, for some reason this AddOn simply doesn't work for me. I changed the Texture of my Healthbar, but it doesn't change. I tried ALL 3 of the different textures it had to offer, neither of them worked. I don't get this. I asked for help, someone said something about Global Settings, and I can't find this "Global Settings" either. What is going on?

Are there textures inside this AddOn, ready to use? As far as I can remember, last time I tried confing this thing up, I couldn't change the texture of a healthbar of a target/player or whatever frame.

Everytime I even try to config this up, it seems like nothing is working, or changing, if I set up something up. I wish to give it even another shot sometime.

I've been having a problem where i get Pitbull setup the way i want but then for some crazy reason the party group frames dissappear even though they are enabled. I can get them back by doing a reset, but then after starting setup again they disappear. Any ideas on why this might happen?

Any ETA about the offsets on axis for texts and indicators? The actually positioning of text and indicators is a little crap :(

I have tried a lot of combinations and never stays were I want

Powerbar - middle

Unitframe - Inside, middle

So, I've been a PB user since bc now i used Pitbull3 for the longest time and had recently upgraded to Pitbull4. I only have 1 question and it might just be a matter of me having to reset my WTF/WDB folders, but my quesiton is this. . .

q: How do i get my HP to show up on bars..(32123k)i can only see deficits.

This is killing me. Please help.

Thank you seattlegirl! I was sure my question was already posed by someone, but I didn't think it would be very fun sifting through 320 comments looking for an answer.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE COMMENTING ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO CONFIGURE SEPARATE FRAMES:

The ability is there, and it is wonderfully arranged with all the beauty and precision of 3.0, but far easier to use!

You create a template for each frame. This means that you can create a template for your target frame, your raid frame, your party frame, your pet frame, et cetera. You then determine the function for each template you've created (Template #1 is used for the Target function, Template #2 for the Pet Target frame, and so on).

You can also share templates between frames. For example, my raid and party frames have the same template (in my case, I named that template "businesstime").

Remember: form and function. You create a form (a template) and determine it's function (Target Frame, Raid Frame, et cetera).

So the ability is there, and if you can't find it, then you just haven't figured out 4.0 yet. So keep looking!

I get the following error on login, but only with a DK.

I may be blind and foolish, but is it not possible to have separate configurations for different frames? Eg. auras located at the bottom of my player unit frame but at the top of my target unit frame? I absolutely love the changes in version 4.0 and it would be a shame for me to have to go back to 3.0.

Well I disabled some more modules right now, I actually don't use Threatbar, Combatfader and some others. Maybe this helps.

does it show ur char

With the newest version I couldn't reproduce memory usage of >10MB in AV like I had in Ulduar-25 on Monday. However, disabling the dogtags module lowers the memory usage from like 3.3MB to 2.3MB when idle in AV, whith just 5 groups (25-man) enabled (pets disabled). Framerate was also not that bad as on monday, looked rather "normal". Disabling other modules gives no noticable improvements (well disabling health bar probably would. ;)

Huge lag spikes occur when someone joins the battleground or I enable pets and e.g. hunters are dismounting. I'll take a further look at it when raiding 25-mans again tomorrow evening.

Toml: I am having similar issues on my Mage. After updating yesterday I am having significantly worse performance out of this addon. I hadn't updated Pitbull for about 2 days before, and I am going to try going back to the older one to see if it alleviates any of the issues as well.

Did you have noticable performance issues with later versions? I think it might be, because I use many dogtags (hots, beacon, sacred shield, Shieldwall/Barkskin etc. on tanks, icons for ulduardebuffs like Unbalancing Strike, Sanity, Bombs on XT, etc.) in my raidframes. Just a guess.

a) Paladin

b) Modules I switched off: Border, Castbar, Highlight, Portrait, Sounds

c) Raid, Player, Target, ToT, Focus, ToF, Group 1 to 8 are always enabled. I use the method to build a Unit-group for every Raidgroup with filter set to the associated grp. Maybe I should disable grp5 to grp8 in a 25 man raid. Could this be a problem although they are empty?

d) I tried to figure it out when exactly, but the framerate always starts dropping at the beginning of a fight, throughout the whole fight, so nothing special. Memory usage was also going up from sth. like 2.5MB to >10MB. I actually didn't test it that long during the raid, cause healing Mimiron in P2 with 2-3fps is ... well ... tricky, so I switched back to the older version rather quickly.

But if I find the time tomorrow, I will try to test it in AV with 5 grps enabled and switch off some of the modules, especially Dogtags.

Thanks so far.

reported this at the official thread already, but having major trouble with the bar "fullness"/text upgrading properly. This is mostly an issue with my own healthbar, the target of target seems to be working properly.
