PitBull: New UnitFrame Addon - Page 24

Xejin · 07/23/07, 12:19 PM

I am loving Pitbull. My only problem is that I never got Portraits, and I cannot seem to find a way to turn them on. My game is loading Pitbull_Portrait at load time, but there's nothing in the menu or any obvious way to enable them. Any help would much appreciated. Thanks.

Xejin, I believe you can find that in the "modules" menu.

On another note, I was playing around with PitBull yesterday and ran into what I'm pretty sure is an annoying feature rather than an annoying bug. After just installing PitBull, I was still playing around with it during a Karazhan run. I was going batty at not being able to configure my party and solo layouts via the configuration menu. Turns out those two are locked out while you're in a raid.

Is anyone that uses pitbull using a dual monitor setup similar to THIS I have a problem where when I drag the pitbull frames, they like to snap to the left side of the screen, and the only reason I can think why is my dual monitor setup.

Quick question, does anyone know if it's possible to create a combat frame, similar to that of Perl's, that shows my health/mana, seperate from the player unit frame? Thats about the only thing i'm missing

I'm confused here... Health + Mana/Rage/Power is basically the unit frame. How could you separate them?

I would like to add that pitbull is the best available unit frame addon as far as memory usage.

I have run ag_unitframes, discord unit frames, and perl.

Pitbull wipes the floor with all of them.

Except for the aura module. /cry

I was asked to switch to pitbull for this ui ive been keeping up for some friends.

Firstly I'd like to say, its amazing. SO much can be done with it, it boggles the mind. I was always a big fan on super detail oriented mods that were still manageable, here is a great example, so thanks! It's mods like this that make me want to keep playing, just so I can mess around with them more. Oh well, wife aggro will do that.

I have a question/problem and it is this: I want to change the names on on all my UF to match the class of the unit. Yet i see no option for this. I can't find a "color player name by class" any where. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

In text -> name -> syles there should be a "color by class" option.

Or do you just want the names to be "Warrior" "Rogue" etc.?

You should be able to change text strings to almost anything imaginable by using a custom style.
Select:
text -> name -> styles -> custom
Then you need to enter the custom string under:
text -> name -> custom style

This should look something similar to this:
[Name:ClassColor]

If it does not work initially, then you may need to install DogTags (a wowace addon companion to pitbull). I say this because I have DogTags installed, but it shows as disabled.
Just try it out as I've outlined and if it doesn't work, go grab DogTags at WowAce downloads

A list of the tags can be seen here:

Aah i mised the option and thanks for the link to the tags.
Very much apreciated.

I'm speechless.

I'm not sure what the cause is, but if I'm in a raid and I zone (doesn't matter where) my party-frames disappear until I /console reloadui. I've checked the Pitbull options and it's still loaded, but they don't appear. Anyone have an idea how to fix / what's causing this. None of the other people in the guild I've talked to have had this problem.

Indeed, but I've never used it and never will need to use it ;D
