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.

Posted Jun 8, 2010In the layout editor for your layout you are setting up, go to Indicators > Portrait and set the style to "3D"
If this is on other frames than your own, there is also a fallback style for when people are out of range or unknown.

Posted Jun 15, 20102) Target of Target frames have to be polled. Tidy plates is probably using the events from the threat system, which is only updated once per second. So really not sure how it should be ahead of us. We poll these units 6-7 times per second.
3) Known current limitation of LuaTexts. It's on my todo list to deal with.
4) If you mean using ButtonFacade for skinning them. I'm not entirely thrilled with using ButtonFacade for these frames. It's really not made for aura buttons, it's made for action bars. So maybe I'll do it eventually but it's not high on my list.

Posted Jun 7, 20101) Text alignment: This sounds a bit ridiculous, but my primary problem was that I was trying to make compact frames, and the text for names, health etc is taking up too much room. Say for example I attach Lua:Health to the unit frame, inside top-right. I resize it to be readable. It's perfect, except that there is a bigger gap than I'd like between the top of the frame and the text. It'd be really nice if I could manually offset the text position relative to the frame. The space I reclaim could be used to increase the size of the auras that I have positioned inside the frame to make them more visible.
2) I've noticed sometimes that a loose mob is attacking a healer/dps (think Lich King Ghouls) and for whatever reason, it doesn't show that person as having aggro in pitbull. Perhaps it's a refresh rate problem as I'm using Tidy Plates: Threat Plates which clearly identifies its nameplate as not being tanked by me.
Thanks for a great addon!

Posted Jun 7, 20103) Having a total for incoming heals as text is very useful (not least because it's difficult to show overheal graphically in compact raid frames as the overheal tends to overlap other players frames) I can do this quite easily by creating a new text, I called it Lua:IncomingHeals and it looks like this:
local HealComm = LibStub("LibHealComm-4.0")
local heal = HealComm:GetHealAmount(UnitGUID("player"), HealComm.ALL_HEALS, GetTime() + 5) or 0
return "%s", heal
However, there are no events to listen to for libhealcomm updates. It'd be great if they were in the list of events I can update that text on. Possibly I could add this myself somehow, but my knowledge of lua is entirely inferred from doing the odd addon fix and editing pitbull text.
4) Bit of a pipe dream and certainly the least important, but any chance of some sort of integration with some addon to overhaul the graphics of auras? If you look at satrina's for example, the auras look very slick.
Thanks again!

Posted Jun 8, 2010The guide linked above can help you with that. You can have as many different layouts as you can make.

Posted Jun 3, 2010I'm still fiddling with PB4, tweaking to get everything how i want it, and I've run into a problem (which I'm gonna assume is cos I'm having a blonde week!) I can't find the raid icon section at all!
I've set all my raid groups up separately, and want to have the skull, X etc showing when people are marked, but I just can't find it. I have the option checked to have that module active (I have rest icon, ready check icon etc etc) I just can't see it under indicators (or anywhere else for that matter) to turn it on in the config screen.
Am I just totally doing something wrong here? I just installed the latest version as well, in case I screwed something up somewhere along the line, just cant see it! Please help! =)

Posted Jun 3, 2010I recently started using pitbull, took me a while to figure out how to manage each layout but now that i have greater knowledge with it, its amazing :D
i have a few questions for you tho
1. How can i disable the buff count, or put the buff count on the actual buff, on my targets i have the buff count way under the actual buff frame and its random little numbers.
2. How can i disable debuffs except for my own debuffs on my target frame, Basically i just want my own debuffs, like flame shock, stormstrike to show.
3. I have my buffs enabled on my target, and they will not show up for some reason, they were working fine before, and now its just like there gone? Could you help me out
Thanks!

Posted Jun 5, 20102) Layout editor, Aura, Filters. Choose Default Debuffs, mine in the Debuff dropdown on that tab.
3) Sure you don't have a filter? Same place check that the filter's set to None for Buffs.

Posted Jun 2, 2010My own AddOn, PitBull (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/settheory.aspx) integrates with Talented (and other AddOns/UI features) and allows you to create sets of AddOn configurations which can then be activated with a couple of clicks. For example, you can define a healing set that activates your talents, prompts you to switch in the correct glyphs, equips your healing gear, activates your healing buffs, changes your keybinds, configures your bars, activates the right indicators (e.g. Power Auras), loads different addons, change your unit frames and select profiles for any Ace-enabled addon. In short you can radically change your UI in a few seconds whenever you want to change play-styles.
There's much more you can do, find out more information at: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/settheory.aspx .
Thanks, Dan.

Posted Jun 1, 20101) When I put text and indicator icons in the same place (eg Blank Space > Middle) the alignment goes wonky. Instead of being centered around the true center of the block of stuff it seems to center around the number of items in the block. When I add the master looter and leader icons along with my name everything shifts quite far to the right. I'd be happy with either centering around everything, or centering around the text, then slapping the icons on the side and not realigning at all.
2) I have my targets buffs on top of the target frame and aligned to the left. I have debuffs above and right. In Pitbull3 they wouldn't overlap, they would avoid each other. They don't seem to do that in Pitbull4. Here's a screenshot of the Pitbul3 config (note the debuffs don't actually move up, they are still lined up with the buffs, but the first row becomes shorter if need be) http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/SycoBob/WoW UI/WoWScrnShot_060110_163954.jpg
And one small suggestion/feature request: a way to fine tune the positions of indicator icons and text would be fantastic. In addition to being able to choose, say, Health Bar > Right let us also have Offset X/Y. I have textures around my frames so I like to move things a little to make it all line up nicer.

Posted Jun 2, 2010There's a ticket to add support for that. It's unlikely you'll ever get support for them exactly like they were in PB3. To be honest, I don't understand why anyone would like that format. The buffs and debuffs were no determinstic. Lots of people were confused by what was and was not a buff/debuff. With the change to properly color code the aura borders, it would create even more confusion. Additionally, it would complicate the aura layout a lot. Why don't you just split the auras so that half of the top of the frame is buffs and the other half is debuffs.
There's also a ticket for offsets, but they're complicated by how we handle anchoring. There will be solutions to this eventually. It's just not in there now.
All in all I don't think your issues are worthy of moving back to PB3. PB3 isn't supported, has a lot of bugs and lacks a lot of support for some recent changes to the game.
