PitBull: New UnitFrame Addon - Page 31

Voljun · 09/07/07, 6:04 PM

Pitbull has worked wonderfully for me so far. However I do have one problem. The cast bar for both my Player and Target frames is extremely jerky. It used to have a constant smooth look to it a couple weeks ago but recently it changed. I've tried deleting everything and reinstalling but no luck. (Cache/WTF/Interface deleted)

I've seen several other posts on the wowace forums and a post in the bug area but none of them have solutions, they are just people with similar problems.

It doesn't actually take longer to cast any spells, but it is extremely annoying especially while I arena. EX. - Did that warlock stop casting fear or is that the Pitbull cast bar pausing? It is almost like very fast energy ticks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a small issue I'd like to resolve with Pitbull's Auras, and I was hoping someone who has used the alternate code could enlighten me.

I have my Auras set to the left hand side of my targets frame, but they 'grow' from left to right. If the target has 4-5 buffs/debuffs applied they 'hang' in mid-screen. I have the Auras configured in rows of 10, so there is a 5 Aura gap between the ones currently applied and the target frame.

Can this be overcome with a setting within Pitbull, or do I need to use the replacement code to overcome the problem, allowing the Auras to grow from right to left? If so could you tell me the name of the replacement Aura addon?

I am working at the moment, but can post a screenshot tonight if further clarity is required.

I dont have it in front of me, but there is settings that allow you to decide where you want your auras to be (left, top left, bottom left, bottom, top, right, top right, bottom right). These posistions can be selected for buffs and debufs apart from each other if you want. In addition to this you can decide which direction they shall grow. If you have your auras on the left side of of the unit frame I would assume that you would want to change the option to let them grow from right to left. This option can also change wether the next row should be on top or below the first row when the first row gets filled up.

I have always used the normal aura module as there never has been any trouble for me.

When I enable clique, pitbull doesn't seem to work for me. Some of its modules might work, I didnt check that; but the unit/target/party frames definitely doesn't load at all. Any suggestions?

Couldn't find a solution in the last 10 pages of this thread, nor anywhere else.

I wanted to fiddle with the colour of the bars, but am having a hard time finding the exact spot to alter it in the .lua file.

Trying to grab the exact same colour through some silly colour picker several times is pretty much impossible.

I've seen people change it often enough and can't believe they went with the colour picker - so, what to alter ? And, what's the colour coding, since it doesn't look like standard RBG / CMYK coding. How do I interpret something like "0.04313725490196078, -- [1]" ?

As far as I'm aware WoW's colour coding, as opposed to being RGB (and Alpha) values in between 0 and 255, instead are values in between 0 and 1. Generally speaking what you see marked by [1], [2], [3] and [4] in such code would be, Red, Green, Blue and Alpha in that order.

If you want to make things easier on yourself and just go with the in-game colour picker instead, I'd recommend downloading Enhanced Colour Picker, it'll add copy and paste buttons to the in-game colour picker, as well as displaying number values for the colours, both of which are vast improvements over the default functionality.

I'll second Enhanced Colour Picker--it is really amazing.

I do have a problem with PitBull, though. Sometimes when I apply a debuff to a mob, the health/power bars are replaced with the very warped debuff icon. It even happened once when I partied with a warrior (who was on another continent), but when he used Deathwish the icon was stretched across my health and power bars.

Any clue what's going on? I was using a version a few days old, so I updated. It's still doing the same thing, though. Currently using 47902.26.

Had the same issue, had to swap between Alt-Auras and regular Aura modules to get that one sorted.

Cyn · 09/16/07, 7:18 PM

I've also seen that issue very frequently when i have aura's turned on, I've since turned them off due to that bug, as well as the performance issues associated

By "swap" you mean what exactly? Go back to the original aura module?

Aranan · 09/17/07, 8:38 AM

I'm currently using the original aura module and I have the problem, so I doubt that's what Duiliath meant.

Bag · 09/17/07, 12:36 PM

Recent update is totally bugged out. Pitbull does not load at all.

Yes. Alt-Auras for Debuffs / Auras for Buffs. (Or the other way round.)

I got the problem on Alt-Auras, then restored Auras for ... either Debuffs or Buffs.

A bit ago I had the buffs running through the energy/mana bar (instead of the ticker), so then I had to go and change the two around again.

To be honest, the buff/debuff handling of Pitbull is getting on my nips.

I tried looking through to find the information I wanted to see, but alas, I'll stick with asking and being made a n00b...

I loved xperl's functionality and ease of use/setup. AG_unitframes have become my latest change, but only because of sleeker look overall, not really a better functionality. My question pretains to Raid/Party frames. I loved that Xperl could be setup so that you only saw the party you were in, either in a 5/10 man or a full 25 man raid. I dont need to see anyone else in the raid except my group (mostly rogues/sham/warrior for buffs and such) so I dont want to have to look at them all. When I tried this with AG_uf, I got a messups, eff-ups and all around agony. I could set up where only certain parties in a raid were shown, but they weren;t my party, they were just whatever party I had selected at whatever random time.

Can Pitbull allow me to deselect all but my own group in a raid, easily, making it viewable without trouble? AND, provide the clean-cut, sleek look that I want to fit in with the rest of my UI.

I believe this now happens when you have debuffs enabled but buffs disabled. Enabling buffs and then changing the maximum number to 0 fixed it for me.
