PitBull: New UnitFrame Addon - Page 42

• Andeh · 01/07/10, 2:29 PM

I need a bit of help fixing something with auras in PB4. A while back I did something (I forget what exactly) that made it so that on all unit frames I would see no more than 2 buffs, would filter buffs to only those cast by me, and and would filter debuffs to only those relevant to my role (melee). I want to increase the number of buffs shown for only my party frames ("Normal" template for me). I've gone to the layout editor for "Normal" and increased the number of buffs shown under the Auras tab to 10, but it's still only showing 2. Any idea on what I need to change? Keep in mind I want to keep it as only 2 buffs for other templates (like my "HUD Player" and "HUD Target").

I have extreme lag when trying to use the raid frames in Pitbull 4. Always end up having to disable them and use grid or vuhdo. Anyone aware of a fix for raid frame lag?

If I had to guess, it's you were using too many an unnecessary modules with the raid frame layout. I'd go through and disable everything not needed in terms of auras, icons, faders, and such. I don't have any lag with pitbull raid frames so I don't think the stand alone system is your problem. I'd also go through and make sure you don't have crap you're not even using enabled in the the global modules on the left menu.

I have looked for this option (maybe not hard enough?) but can't find it anywhere in the Pitbull config. It would be awesome if Pitbull could somehow be 'combined' with the mechanics of Healbot. So instead of having two addons, merge the two together. (As in, clicking on the Pitbull unit frame will cast a spell). Would this be possible?

There is no such option with Pitbull, but you should get Clique (a really low mermory addon) that makes it possible to combine every possible mouseclick combination to any of your spells and abillities to any frame in the game.

So, I recently set up a raid ui with PB4 after using xperl for ages. So far the only thing I'm missing about xperl is the little box that displays the number of raid members on your target. I've looked everywhere I could think of for an option so I googled it and there's a post on the previous page that asks for the same thing I'm looking for, but there's no answer. Just wondering if anyone happens to have any insight, ie how to do it or if it simply isn't a current capability of the addon. Thanks

You should be able to do this with luatext. If you are somewhat familiar with it, look up GetNumRaidMembers and GetRaidRosterInfo on wowwiki

I've been fiddling with PitBull for a while now but haven't been able to successfully do this one last thing: show select buffs or debuffs ON the frame itself, ala Healbot, Grid, VuhDo. It's the only thing I'm not totally satisfied with and keeps making me wonder if I should just forget it and get a Grid/VuhDo. I don't want to use multiple addons (i.e. PitBull for unit frames and then Grid for raid frames, or multiple raid frames) which is why I'm trying to make PitBull (with Clique, and SBF) enough for my secondary main, a disc priest. Showing buffs when mousing over a frame (using SBF) just isn't enough to take in quickly if I need to re-shield yet.

I keep feeling that there is just something I'm not doing correctly (I'm using PitBull 4). I've fiddled with the auras section, experimenting with different placements and flowing and strata for the auras but it just doesn't seem to show up over the bars themselves.

Edited to add: I found it -- the offsets (horiz/vertical) were what I wanted.

Hi all,
I have a little question about Pitbull,
I want to change the color of the frame (player, party, raid) when a poison/disease/curse is present on the player concerned.

Is that possible ? i can't find it and it's just exasperating !

Perhaps with dogtag ? but it's for text so i don't know, how can we select a frame? i try with player with Pitbull4_Frames_player, but i think we must select then perhaps just the health bar if we can't change the whole frame

Sorry i'm a bit discouraged

Thanks

EDIT : Sorry i found it in pitbull configuration !
It's under 'editor' section, then 'aura' (for buff section i'm not sure that's the same name in english) then Highlighted and activate with 'debuff i can dispell'

I offer you the following with two comments:

1) Most of it is not my work, I found it in the big thread at WoWAce. I am not taking credit for it.
2) I added the update timer line as triggers weren't working as I would have liked. This may be very bad form. I am not a programmer, I don't know these things.

local prefix,num,size = "raid",0,GetNumRaidMembers()
local size = GetNumRaidMembers()
if size <= 0 then
  prefix = "party"
  size = GetNumPartyMembers() 
end
for u=1,size do
  if UnitIsUnit(prefix..u.."target", unit) then
    num = num + 1
  end
end
if num > 0 then
UpdateIn(0.2)
  return "%d", num
end

I searched the thread and was unable to find a distinct solution for what I'm trying to do, apologies for if it is already answered.

What I want to do deals with custom debuff filtering, the way I want to filter is as follows;

a) Is it a debuff which benefits my dps (misery, imp faerie fire, ebon plague etc)
b) Is it a debuff which I applied (living bomb, ignite etc)

I can currently do (a) by whitelisting by spellid.
I can currently do (b) by filtering by my debuffs.

I cannot figure out a way to do (a) and (b). If anyone has a working solution, I would greatly appreciate it.

I downloaded a UI using pitbull, and had this all setup, and I downloaded another UI for a different character earlier and it hasn't showed up the new UI in pitbull's profile settings, does anyone know how to make it so that i can?

I don't know if it is possible to do this with Pitbull only. But I know that LUI[1] provides a little square between your Unit Frames (or at least did this in a previous release) that shows debuffs like misery and improved faerie fire.

Having two different UI packages the same time can be a bit tricky. Does your second UI require some copying of WTF / character folders? It would help if you post links to the ui packs.

I'm having an issue with Pitbull Auras not updating the icon/duration for offhand weapon temporary enchants (poisons) when I swap weapons. For example, if I swap from my regular offhand with Deadly Poison on it to another with Crippling Poison, it will update the aura once to show the Crippling icon but not when I switch back. It's really annoying trying to keep track of which offhand I have equipped.

I've had this issue for a couple months now, and it doesn't seem to be getting fixed. Is there a self-fix I can do? I've searched on Curse & Wowace and haven't found anything.

I found this posted on a forum somewhere a long time ago (I can't remember where). It works great. Just add it as a Text to your Target frame.

local prefix,num,size = "raid",0,GetNumRaidMembers()
local size = GetNumRaidMembers()
if size <= 0 then
  prefix = "party"
  size = GetNumPartyMembers() 
end
for u=1,size do
  if UnitIsUnit(prefix..u.."target", unit) then
    num = num + 1
  end
end
if num > 0 then
 return " %d", num
end

Next, select UNIT_AURA as the Event. If you don't do this, updates will be very slow.

Enjoy.

I believe that what you need to do is create a Meta Filter that combines the 2 filters. Here is a post by Shefki that describes how to do that.WowAce Forums - View Single Post - PitBull 4.0

LUI 2.x (IIRC) supported this. You had a little window between player and target unit frames showing those debuffs if they are applied.

TrlstanC · 05/22/10, 7:43 PM

Edit: Found it under "other" > "highlight"

I just got finished customizing Pitbull, and trying it out in a couple runs, looks good, but I can't figure out how to turn off the yellow highlighting on the player frame when I'm targeting myself. Looked through all the menus and searched, I assume it's an option somewhere?

As of the new patch one of my favourite addons stopped working, the addon being 'Ragebar'. What it did was giving you an extra ragebar wich you could place where-ever you wanted. The addon hasn't been updated yet so can't use it, and since the new patch rage isnt that eassy anymore so yea would really like to use it again.

I found a replacement in a certain hud addon, but it still doesnt really do what i want, and it's an extra addon and extra memory i could be using for something else if i could get pitbull to do something like this, as i'm using this for my unit frames allready. Sadly enough i cant seem to figure out how to do this.

Soooo what i would like to know: is there a way to make a new unit frame using pitbull, so i could create a second ragebar that i could have where-ever i want on my screen?

thanx in advance

Tavik · 10/18/10, 9:10 PM

Is there a way to show the aura cooldown spiral without the giant cooldown text over the top of it, or at least change the size of that text? Right now I can only seem to have giant text w/ the spiral, or no spiral and text. Of course there's the editable aura text that you can resize and offset, but I want to cooldown spiral as well.

Also, the auras don't respond to right clicking to remove a buff, ie right click on fortitude to remove the buff. Anybody know if this is a bug or if I'm missing something??

Hi i've gone through most of the pages here but yet to find an answer to what i want my pitbull to do.

Im basically trying to get rid of all the debuff framesfrom my focus bar, target of target etc, exept for the debuff frames on my Target.
Is there any way to do this?
been trying for a few hours and it seems the only thing i can do is; completely remove all debuffs or none.
So any quick nice inputs on how i can get rid of every debuff exept my target's debuff?
Thanks in advance!

You need to create a new layout. By default, you are probably editing the auras for the Normal layout. Once you have a new layout you can assign it to whatever units you need.

Kumar · 11/28/10, 6:32 PM

Question, just got Pitbull 4, and by default the player frame is hidden unless you select a target.

How can I make it so that my frame is always showing?

Thanks

Edit: Figured it out, its under Faders.

grimman · 01/05/11, 6:13 PM

Is it possible to make the health bar colour switch completely from my default (grey) to red upon hitting 20%, or going below that, with no fading in between?
The default options allow for fading from 100% to 50% to 0%, with no easy way to tell when execute and similar abilities are possible.

Additionally; while PVPing I have experienced some strange power bar colouring. I have my bar set to only colour by class, but the actual colour seems to be entirely based upon which power type is used, which will clump mages, warlocks and priests together in a manner that is not helpful in the least.

Any help regarding my two issues would be appreciated.
