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! 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.

I just downloaded Pitbull for the first time today on the Curse client (I believe the newest version). There's a lot of options, and it's kind of overwhelming, but I like what I've seen, so I want it to work for me. I can't seem to get the configure mode to work properly. I've read the FAQ and the guide, and I think that I'm doing everything correctly. I turned off all the other addons. No matter what mode I choose (party, 10-man raid, etc.), it only shows me the frames that I would expect to see solo (Target, TargetTarget, Focus, FocusTarget, etc.). I'm willing to bet that it's user error since I can't find anything about it in the forums. I see the words Party and Party Pets underneath the other UFs, but they are noninteractive and do not show any bars, they are just white words. What am I doing wrong?
They were working fine before my flight on Tuesday.... ¬.¬
All of this is possible.
1) Layout editor > Make sure you have a unique layout for each type of unit or group. So you would have a player, target, targettarget, party, etc.
2) For either Units or Groups, make sure that your particular item has the correct layout selected. For example, I have a targettarget layout which I use for my targettarget unit.
So for my targettarget example:
- Click Layout editor on the left.
- Find "current layout" and in the dropdown box choose the entry you would like to copy the settings from.
- Underneath "New layout" type "targettarget"
- change the settings however you like (e.g. disable the portrait)
- click Units on the left
- Under Current unit, change the dropdown to select the "Target's target"
- Under layout, change the dropdown to select the "targettarget" layout you just made.
Press f1 to target yourself. You should see your targettarget appear. Maybe it's underneath something else, so look carefully. Drag it to where you want it to go. If you can't drag it, check /pb and at the top is "frame movement" - change it to "unlocked with snap".
I hope this helps.
However, no it does not use the dragons.
I checked, and no this is not currently possible. There is a portrait feature but it's just adding a square portrait with no graphics like the original interface.
Thanks.
For some unknown reason, my Pitbull 4 raid frames are displaying all priests' mana as very low values, I've seen it go as low as 5k mana.
Is there something specific that might be causing this? Thanks!
- Layout editor (on the left)
- Current layout (dropdown) > party (or raid)
- texts (tab)
- current texts (dropdown) > Lua:Power
You want to check the settings here. It sounds like you're using a shortform. Maybe try:
- code (dropdown) > Power: Absolute
- type /pb to get into the configuration screen
- check the top-left "Config mode" dropdown. Make sure it is set to "Disable"
I found it easier to configure once I understood how it was done. Would you like to try my configuration file out? Maybe my minimalistic defaults would be a good starting point for you?
- Quit wow
- download http://uploadmirrors.com/download/1VFH9DQG/PitBull4.lua and put it in your Wow's WTF\Account\ACCOUNT_NAME\SavedVariables folder.
This will not overwrite your original Pitbull 3 settings, just the pitbull 4 ones.
If you don't like the changes and you want to go back to the defaults, then
- exit wow
- delete that PitBull4.lua
- restart wow
ckknight, would you consider inclusing several different style templates such as the one above? This would help new users save configuration time or give inspiration to power users.
The ability to import layouts is a ticket being worked on. I believe there is a testing stage of the module in the ticket comments. Vangual was working on it and was looking for people to test it.

I'll check it out, thanks!
PB3 gave you a list of every possible frame and made you configure each layout for them individually. If you wanted to duplicate a look you had to literally duplicate your steps. PB4 lets you make as many or as few layouts and apply them as many or as few times as you like.
I'm not sure why you find it sluggish, as I have not seen this, can you give some more specific examples?
4.0 won't work for me, either. If there's a library I need to re-install or update I dunno, but even so 4.0 is slow, sluggish, and makes less sense to me than 3.0. No intention of bein a jerk, just trying to provide helpful criticism... I never let go of 3.0 until this stupid xpac forced me to. Now, I'm not sure the game is even worth playing without my PB 3.0. It's that deep.
