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.

Kupotek, both of these requests are already doable. I don't play wow much anymore, so i'll guide you as best as I can. For PVP icons etc: Go to Layout Editor -> Select unit you want to disable them on. Click Indicator tab and disable the ones you want to disable.
IF you want to not use the indicator on any of your unitframes, i'd recommend doing it this way: Modules -> Select appropriate one (ie PVP icon), uncheck the enable box. This won't even load the module so it basically disabables it on all frames at once.
To disable auras for focus and focus target: Layout Editor -> Create a new layout for Focus (if you want it to look different from Focus Target make 2 new layouts, one for each) Configure your layouts and uncheck enable under the aura tab. THEN goto Units select your Focus as Current Unit. Under layout, select the new one you just created for it. Do the same for Focus Target.

It would also be nice to be able to disable stuff like pvp icons etc.. on specific frames, like you could in Pitbull3.
I was wondering how I can disable auras for just focus and focus target?
I saw some one post of about this awhile back but still having problems with Dogtags part of PitBull4 eating up huge amounts on memory when i do 25 man raids. On avg seeing a increase of about 5-7mb before i dumb garbage manually which I do a couple of times per boss fight. If you need more detailed info i will be more then glad to give it. Other then that performance of the addon has been spectacular.
If you put spaces in the Group Names then yes.
PitBull4_Groups_Party petsUnitButton1 PitBull4_Groups_Party TargetsUnitButton1 PitBull4_Groups_Party targets TargetUnitButton1
do these frame names have spaces in them?
Is there a way to copy your interface to a notepad document (like with Pitbull3) to share with characters who are not on the same account?
Forgive me if it's there and I'm simply unable to find it
Ah, I figured that was what did it...But everytime I tried, it wouldn't show...The frames take like....3 million minutes to show the changes...Thank you for that. Any reason why it takes forever to change?
@Eonlcefire:
Groups > Unit group "Raid" > Units per column is your friend.
Uh, forgive me if this has been answered but I have 2 major problems with pitbull4 (Been yearning to try Pitbull for months, and since 4 supposedly has less stuff you'd have to set up, I decided I'd try it compared to XPerl...) Now, my 2 problems with pitbull4 are as follows; 1. There is MAJOR input delay between adding spacing to party or pet frames, and it actually happening. I tested it both with and without Reduced user interface input lag (that option in WoW's Interface options) and it didn't seem to make a different. Why is this so slow to change? 2. My raid frames are just one loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong vertical line. This is what'll kill me. I have to have them turned off right now, and if I start doin more than 5 man groups, being a tank or dps user, I need to know if other people are getting hit because I'm not making enough threat, or if there's something attacking my allies that I can blast or distract while the tank is busy...And if there's no way to make multiple columns or rows or w/e, I may be trying out Grid or AG or another unit frame, because nothing I did seemed to work... Also, by 'taking a long time to change' I mean I'd add vertical spacing for the Party frame, and it'd take 5+ minutes to show the change...How can I fix these problems, or what is causing them? Other than that, nice Unit frames.
I've sorted through the various posts and haven't found any information about these issues, but please forgive me if they're in there and I missed them. I am having an issue with re-enabling combat text once it's disabled. It seems that once I disable combat text on a certain layout, I cannot re-enable it. If I create a new text, I cannot get it to show the text as combat text (I am horrible with dogtags but I don't think I can configure it there). Secondly, I really liked the way vehicle units would replace my pet bar when possessed. Unfortunately, that has been changed to replace my Unit when possessed, and the player defaults to the pet unit. The issue with this is that I don't have combat text enable on my unit since I use another mod for that, and cannot re-enable it (see above). Nor do I have auras and buffs enabled on my unit because again, I use a different mod for that. If you are going to keep the vehicle bars as the player bars, is there a way to have the units swap or display certain information when possessing a vehicle? In other words, I need to see the damage a vehicle takes, as well as the buffs it has when I'm in it...
In Pitbull3, you can change the color of the bar color, as well as the bar's background color. Been banging my head against all these options and do not yet see how that is done in Pitbull4. Can anybody assist?
Alright, my frames now look gorgeous, however there is one thing, which I simply can't find: How I can change the size of the text on buffs? I am not using Buff/Debuff remaining spiral, but only the seconds/minutes. However, they look quite big with Bazooka-font and so on.
Thanks authors for the best thing since sliced bread! I've been using Pitbull forever and I love it!
One thing I noticed on my priest is that some heals only show on my own bar, where I would expect them to be visible on more. I am referring to "Prayer of Healing", which should show incoming heals on a whole group, and "Binding Heal", which should show incoming heals on me and my target.
I am sure I have seen heals appear on a whole group, but I guess that was from someone else not using Pitbull?
Keep up the good work!
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
Nope sorry, I meant that you need to install SharedMedia to get the textures.
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?
Sofer, install SharedMedia. The textures come from there.
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.
