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.

Anyone getting unknown as names when in groups? I see teh name fine over the player and when i mouse over just on the name frame it seems to do this.
If you're seeing Unknown as a name that's becasue the server hasn't provided it yet. Happens sometimes when you're having network trouble or the server is having issues.
Ok, so here's the error I get:

Sounds like you're getting errors. It's hard to help you without seeing the errors. You can turn on the display of the errors with by following the following instructions:
1) Press Escape until the Game Menu comes up.
2) Click on the Interface Button.
3) Choose Help on the Left side of the Game Tab.
4) Click Display Lua Errors so that the checkbox is cheked.
5) Click OK
You may need to exit the game to reproduce the error that's creating the problem. It's generally best to post the first errors you're getting (clicking the previous button until you get to the first one).
In this case it's very likely you have an old version of PitBull or are using a module not provided with the main addon that has not been updated to work correctly.
I'm using Pitbull 4.0 and have a frame for me, my target, and my targets target. Been working perfectly for a long time, but now I just dinged 70 on my monk alt and all of a sudden all the text on my health and mana bars including character name is gone from my characters frame plus my targets frame when I'm targeting myself. My targets target is working fine even though I'm targeting myself, and when targetting other players/NPCs it's working fine. Only having trouble with my own frame and when targetting myself. Any know how to fix this?
Caused by this bug: http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/tickets/1002-using-a-custom-sort-order-for-totems-breaks-on-dks/
There's a workaround in there until I get it fixed.
Yes. You create filters to determine what to Highlight under Modules, Aura, Aura filter editor, Advanced. You apply those filters to layouts under Layout editor, Aura, Highlights.
Can pitbull highlight a buf of mine on frames?
i honestly don't know either. i've never had a problem with this addon until now lol im just glad it's fixed.
for some reason my player and target's frames arn't showing accurate mana numbers.
I'm going to need more info than that to investigate. Inaccurate how?
This all started the week before panda came out. I'm currently above 200k mana but my player frame is reading "160000." And for my target's it would read "120000." The mana bar still goes down when i use it so i still know if i'm running out of mana or not.
update: i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and the problem is fixed.
That's a really bizzare problem. Can't really imagine how that would have happened.

Right, I don't include all the events since it'd be a lot of work to keep it up to date. RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE is a new event for MoP, the other events I mentioned are the ones it replaced. There's code in Lua texts that looks for those other events and converts them to be GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE automatically for you. I did something similar in the past for UNIT_MANA et all when they were combined into UNIT_POWER.
Thanks. The reason I need this event is to make this Lua:Name custom code work right:
for i = 1, GetNumGroupMembers() do if UnitIsUnit("raid"..i,unit) then local name, rank, subgroup = GetRaidRosterInfo(i) if name then return "%d %s", subgroup, name end end end
It displays the name and the group number in front of it. Very hand when youre in a raid and you want to know quickly what group someone is in. However without RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE, when someone gets moved around the raid the numbers dont get updated right until someone joins/leaves the raid.
@Kynn
You can add events in the game. /pb, Modules, Lua texts. GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE is not used by any of the default events so it isn't in there for you already you have to add it. Side note: If you have the old events (RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE, PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED) those will still work because Lua Texts has code to replace those for you automagically with RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE.
Under Lua:Name for Events I need to make use of GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE . However it doesnt appear to be on the list. I can manually get this to work by adding the entry into the addons config file and it works great, however would be nice to set this up properly via the addon. Is there a way of adding new events to the list or is GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE under some other name?
If you're not seeing any bar at all and the quest is behaving as a vehicle then my bet would be that.
1) You don't have a pet frame enabled.
2) You have Swap with vehicle checked on your player frame.
Which would mean while you were doing this quest you'd have no player frame to show the alternate power bar on.
I don't recall at this point (since I didn't pay much attention since everything worked fine for me) if the quests mentioned elsewhere in the thread were treated as a vehicle or if the alternate bar was on the vehicle or the player.
I have the same problem with the meter not showing up with the vehicle doing those quests. Had to disable Pitbull to get them to show up properly. I'm on beta40 of Pitbull 4.0.
