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.

What you can do is make a separate group for each raid size. Set the Show when for the groups to only show in the specific size and then adjust them as you see fit. That way you can have an entirely different setup for every raid size. Keep in mind however, that if you have a 25 man raid a couple poeople sitting out that's actually a 40 man raid as far as PB4 is concerned.

Another alternative is to use a single raid group, setup multiple profiles with how you want and then manually change the profiles. There is an open ticket for profile switching based on zones and things like that. There's no reason this isn't possible it just hasn't been implemented.

Display text or have your health bars work in deficit mode, i.e. empty @ full health & growing as you lose HP?

I used PB3 and have been using PB4 for a while, and yes, how you set things up is a bit more confusing at first, but it is way more configurable then 3 ever was, and now that I am used to it I can make changes must faster and easier then I ever could in 3.

I know getting used to something new isn't always fun, but that's life.

I have to agree with responsed to you already given.

PB4 is easier, it is very different but once you spend the effort looking at it you will find it much better. I currently run PB3 on my main server toons and using PB4 while in beta on another server toons. So far, liking PB4 and will so even more when a few more things are added.
Keep up the good work :)

fbuniverse... seriously? ...
Remember people like Shefki, ck, and the thousands of other addon authors do not have to share their efforts with anyone, and I strongly suspect that they have spent far more time providing us with addons and supporting them than you have trying to learn the new PB4 way of doing things.
PB4 is radically different from the earlier PB3, in operation, configuration and flexibility.

Your current UI isn't that hard to replicate in PB4 - and yes I like many others came from PB3, and at first the new config was confusing, but I spent some time experimenting and searching for things until I became acclimatised to the new layout (no pun intended).

I suggest perhaps asking for help from the many more experienced people who have taken the time to get to know the new system. Coming here and saying it's bloated bullshit is not the way to ellicit such help however.

I for one am grateful for such a powerful and flexible addon that is getting better with almost each and every update.

Simply put - if it's too "complicated" for you or you dont like it, dont use it.

At least if you're going to troll the author on his efforts, try to not fail on blacking out your name in the screenshots, Tsukimara..

You left your name under your pet.

i agree with laxman22

you are saying pitbull4 should be easier to configure, but that's total bullshit the menu is so difficult cuz it's BLOATED there are WAY to many option and tiny this and that, that makes it impossible to configure, and even if i manage a LITTLE i do not get my unit frames the way i have them with pitbull3 now,

i rather see Pitbull3 get supported again and updated for the future patches, because pitbull4 is a total flop its a big disaster.

this is what my UI looks like,

Solo and 5 man mode = http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/6961/wowscrnshot031609203315y.jpg

10 and 25 man mode = http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/2851/wowscrnshot051109203824.jpg

and i can't get it done like that with pitbull4, so it Stinks,

get back to work on pitbull3 please.

There's absolutely no reason why you can't do that UI setup in PB4. Rather than coming here saying that the addon is a flop why don't you ask how to do the things that you're having trouble doing.

No the design is too different to make it realistic to do a good import.

Is there any way whatsover to copy the PB3 UI frame setup over to version 4? Is this something that you might consider putting in?

Really not sure what to tell you. I've never heard any reports of disappearing frames. The new system is pretty drastically different and I think it's more confusing if you're coming from PB3 to PB4 without really understand the new system of layouts being applied to any frame you want.

Ok, first off, i know this is just a beta version but i have to say a few things since im a proud user of the Pitbull 3...This version, number four, is waaaaay more complicated then Pitbull 3. Not to mention there are dissapearing raid frames, icons and frame options are non existant or impossible to find. You say you are trying to simplify this addon, you have A LOT of work to do because right now this doesnt even come close. It took me close to an hour to figure out how to set up raid frames...then they dissapeared and i had to do it all over again. I sure hope you arent basing the final model on whats up right now because its a disaster at the moment, nothing works.

After some thought I'm pretty sure I know what your problem is. I'm guessing when configuring groups you scrolled down in the groups pane so that the Current group and New group controls were hidden and then were changing the Unit group dropdown and thinking you were changing the group you were editing when rather you were just changing what the group was pointing to. I've done this myself a few times and I've intended to tab that pane so that all the controls stay visible and there is no scrollbar in the default size.

This should eliminate most of the confusion with this stuff.

Under the layout editor for the layout you're using for the frame you want to use go to Texts, Lua:Health (or Health depending on if you're using DogTagTexts or LuaTexts) and choose a different prebuilt code from the Code drop down.

As of beta2 Health: Absolute and Percent is the default instead of Health: Smart which is what's causing some confusion for people.

It is very hard to configure the unit frames. Especially when I target a player, another irrelevant unit frame (which is definitely not target's target or focus) appears at the tip of the mouse cursor and you can't get rid of it as it moves everywhere with your cursor.

The focus menu problem is something we really have no solution to. It's the same with all unit frame addons. beta2 has removed the menu and replaced it with text telling you to use the /focus command to set your focus.

Groups, go to Current group Party (or whatever your Party group is named) and make sure the raid options are checked under Show when in.
