Xarki: For the example you cite, you need to create a layout that doesn't have the energy bar, and then tell tot to use it. PB4 adds an extra level of "indirection". Unlike in PB3, where you configured tot differently from tof, in PB4 you configure a layout which may or may not be unique to just one kind of frame. I really like it, but it is a definite switch from PB3.

adinmat: Add more raid types to the filters for your setup. For example, add 5-man raids to the filters for your 10-man setup.

hm, maybe i am just to stupid, but i will continue using pb 3.... with 4 i cant even figure out, how to hide the energy bar for example only for tot.... but thats just 1 off 100 things i am missing.... pb3 was much easier to config

Ive got problem with visibility of raid frames. Both 10 man and 25 man setup becomes visible when there is 4 spots left in both cases. So if there are 5 or less guys in 10 man or 20 or less in 25 man, i can not see raid frames at all. Can see in blizz window of course. I just reinstalled all addons on fresh Interface + WTF folder. Didint help. Any idea?

Cheers for great addon!!!

first of all, the lua error i just posted is happen randomly whenever i kill mob. And also, threat bar aren't showing as it should. maybe it is just me but i try to make it appear, and it wont. So i had to relocate the threat text to 'outside top'. and this error happened. i hope someone could fix this?

Serene

You can move the aura icons around a fair bit, and you can put icons in your lua text. You can filter the debuffs.

I see what you mean, if you're trying to do both with the same layout. I commented on ticket Ticket 619 about it. It does look like _RangeFader2 is what you want! how did that work for you?

This happened to me the same way when I joined a raid for the first time a few days ago and hadn't set up all my unit frames. (I actually still have Grid loaded (and disabled) just in case PitBull stopped working correctly, but that hasn't happened yet.)

You probably haven't enabled the raid frame to show when there are less than 20/15/10/5 players in it.
To do that you have to select your group of frames that displays the raid on the options' "Groups" page (or create a new one for that purpose if you haven't done so already, since they're not included with PB's default settings), then go to the "Filtering" tab and, with a 10-man raid layout, tick the check box for the 10-man raid or, with a 25-man raid layout, you'd probably tick the check box for 15, 20 and 25-man raids (unless you create separate Group/Layout combinations for each them of course).
Also, you can enable your standard (non-raid) group to show in a 5-man "raid", meaning your raid will show up as a standard group when you're in a raid with less than 5 other players. (Since arena teams are basically handled as a sort of raids, this will show your arena team as well.)

The Groups/Layouts are then automatically chosen by PitBull based on the filtering you've set up and the actual size of your group/raid. Meaning, if there are more than 5 players it will then show your 10-man raid/layout and if there are more than 10 players it'll show your 25-man raid/layout, otherwise it'll just show your standard group (the one that's included with PB's Default layout and settings).

All,

was wondering if anyone else has had the following issue..

This only happnens when i join a raid and does not occur all the time..

my party members frames disappear.

when this happens , even logging out and logging back in do not
correct the issue.

i have to log out and disable pitbull (i have not narrowed this down
to a particular section.


Thank You

is there a possibility to filter enemy buffs for only those which i can dispel? I have buff filtering checked under the options, but it only seems to work for friendly targets.

Kitjan - change it to what? if i understand what you are saying to do is to change the fader to to something like follow, however follow is 28 yards and i have a max range of 36 yards so when i go max range on a hostile target it has the target faded way out.

To restate guys, the fader system used is not all that helpful. i love this addon and try to convert those using xperl over becasue i feel this is more flexiable. my problem is that the best range method (class abilities) is quite useless for hunters since our hostile ability has a range of 36 yards however our friendly ability is something like bandages which is like 8 yards.

i see a new plugin out to replace the fader plugin and i think that i will try that to see if it will work correctly. if it does prehaps it can be included as default into the files so that otheres facing the same issues can have a solution. ill let you all know.

I normally use sRaidFrames since its so easy to setup and use.

Now, i installed caith's UI again after reformatting, and the raid layout was enabled again (used to hide it before because of below).

Is it possible to get debuffs INSIDE the raid frame as shown in the pic and have select debuffs shown (like Legion Flames in TOC). Pretty sure the 2nd is possible but its useless if the debuffs are under the frames.

Same, its annoying me that much im thinking of going back to pb3. Surely it would only need a drop down for each frame/party under auras?

Is it possible to turn buffs/debuffs on/off individually for each frame/party yet? Still cant figure it out.

I'm also wondering about this. It's a feature I really miss from PB3.

the lack of features compared to PB3 is what made me shift to using other addons, I hope they'll be added back soon in 4. It's still a beta after all.

My guess: So that the modules can be unloaded when not in use and so first-party and third-party modules work in the same way.

Xpl0iter

Yes. The aura filter system is very powerful but a bit cumbersome to use at first. In the modules list you'll find Aura->Aura filter editor. You can try adding the things you want to see on the "Simple" tab, or move to the "advanced" tab and add a "name" filter set to "whitelist", then list the spells you want to see.

bossmansmith

In the layout editor, faders tab, scroll down to "range fader" and change the "range check method"

I can confirm that there "is" a way to remove them. I'm not using PitBull4 at the moment though, so I can't really tell you how I did it.

So theres no way to get rid of those extra screens? :< Because it becomes a huge mess when I do multiple things.

You did open PitBull's options pane, right?
Well, you obviously did since you've changed your unit frames from the default settings and for this you surely had to dabble around there. I wonder that you even had to ask this question, because the "Target's target" and "Target's target's target" frames are listed just next to the "Player" and "Target" frames at the options' "Units" page. To disable the display of those frames simply choose the frame named after that specific unit and uncheck the corresponding check box.
Also, you can separately change every bit of any changeable frame settings for every unit (or set of units) by creating additional "Layouts" for each of them - and you can move them around the screen too, so you don't have to keep them at their default positions cluttering your screen like that.

The only setback with using different Layouts is that there's currently no "Default" settings to apply to all of them at once, so changing one thing with a certain layout doesn't change it for another and you'll have to do that manually. It's still a more elegant solution (compared to PitBull3's) since that way you can have the same units have different layouts for different group sizes (via Filters) without having to change anything like profiles or layouts manually when the group's size changes (as you had to do with PB3).

Just experiment a bit more with all those options and you'll see..
