I enjoy all of Ckknight's work, so will be checking this mod out tonight.

Thanks for the SS.

RDX6 began implementing this feature about a week ago. I've shared the recent build with one of the other healers in my guild and he creamed his pants over it.

One thing I would like to see is to combine like debuffs and buffs. For example, a unit with 3 renews on it would have a SINGLE renew icon but with an associated 3 on it. A target with 4 Corruptions would have only a single corruption icon with a 4 on it.

I wrote an addon which does this for Perl Classic frames (debuffs only) if you are interested in the source code.

Here is the gist of it (green line):

...and depending on the placement of your frames, this plugin can lead to comical results. Here's a shot I found in the Pitbull thread:

I wasn't really interested in PitBull until I saw that predictive healing feature. Am I understanding that PitBull is also changing the mini-health bars as well? I noticed the Frog critter has a nicely textured bar in that screenshot

It appears on files.wowace.com and the wowace updater scans that directory so I'd say its very likely.

Thank you. I'd always been under the impression that the nameplates (and other positional 3D items in the WoW UI) were not exposed. I'll definitely give that and Pitbull a try tonight

From Souja's post it sounds like Pitbull's predictive healing only shows when you're the one casting the heal - is that the case? RDX's one shows predicted health when anyone in the raid is casting a heal on anyone else.

I'm quite happy with AGUF myself, but since everyone is raving about Pitbull I guess I'll give it a shot. Would be nice to see who it is that heals my pet.

Tried them out briefly, but honestly I just don't see very many differences over aguf. In fact, alot of the mod itself seems like it was ripped right out of aguf. In particular, the thing that still bothers me, is the inability to place buffs and debuffs in separate locations. Buffs bottom, debuffs right etc. Such a simple thing, and I haven't seen a unitframe that does it since nerfed.

Aw man, I can see it now:

Healer X starts casting flash heal.
Healer X notices that the predicted heal won't be enough.
Healer X cancels flash heal and starts casting greater heal.
Tank dies.

=p

Yes if you read the thread there is talk that they would need to make a module that would broadcast all that info among PitBull users. Right now it just seems to do it for your own spells.

Yah you have to train your guys on it... its more for people see "oh someone else is casting on this guy and its estimated to be a full heal" so they can avoid it. On the tank that's a whole different matter, but this is pretty useful for the raid healing.

I was messing around with these late last night and I noticed they didn't seem to have any sort of buff/debuffs scaling. For instance if the unitframe is scaled to 20% the buffs and debuffs are still normal size. I checked out the one from the SVN so I believe it was the latest version. Any ideas?

• frmorrison · 04/04/07, 4:49 PM

The rescaling of buffs/debuffs will be added soon (ckknight said something to that effect in the pitbill thread).

Installed it last night to check it out. This is AG_UF done better. Configuration works just about the same. But there's more options and a lot better performance. If you dig AG_UF, you will love this one.
