PitBull: New UnitFrame Addon - Page 44

Kelthuryon · 02/20/08, 2:34 PM

Hi, I'd like to know if Pitbull has a feature like X-Perl to inflate your (and only your) debuff icons on a hostile target to keep track of your own stuff.

If yes, how ?

If not, when ?

This is a bit embarrising as I consider myself pretty proficient with setting up mods but for the life of me I cannot figure out where the setting is to change how my target's health is displayed. Since my last pitbull update my target is showing as whole numbers instead of percentages. This makes it extremely annoying while raiding to figure out some timing aspects. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Pitbull now embeds LibMobHealth-4.0 that is doing what you just described, I fixed this by simply deleting the library but there's probably a better way.

You can also address it by changing the display style you use for the health tag, as described here.

Is there anyway we could have some way to change the anchor of buffs with the new aura system? Example:

I have a frame with the name in the top left corner. I wanted up to 8 buffs to show starting from the right corner and filling to the left. The problem seems to be that the offsets are anchored to the centre of the buff frame. When I set the buff side to top and direction to left then up, I couldn't move the buffs far enough to the for them to align with the right of the target frame. I had to set buffs to top right which is slightly closer and then move it.

I hope this makes sense.

I'm getting the following error this morning:

[2008/02/21 10:26:38-2774-x1]: PitBull_Spark\Spark.lua:68: attempt to index field 'db' (a nil value)

I'm running revision 62407 currently. I think it began sometime after 62217

This might be a stupid question but is there a way to show what group you are when in a raid with out enabling the raid frames?

Thanks.

Surprised that I couldn't see this being asked yet, but with the MouseOver Unit, I was unable to find a way to anchor that window to the Mouse. I would love to be able to use Pitbull to create awesome on-cursor mouse-over tooltips.

Occasionally when I target a mob with several debuffs on it and I gain a buff myself (Ferocious Inspiration, Battle Shout etc.), the buff icon, correctly bordered in green, is added to the mobs red-bordered debuff icons - and keeps floating there after the mob is dead/untargeted.

Qrt: Get the latest revision, Ellipses seems to have fixed it :p

I read from page 17 on up and it seems there are big problems with the Aura system. My own issue started last week when I noticed the buffs that used to go the middle right and then down from my target frame all of a sudden start on the left corner and wedge into the target power bar. The debuffs work fine going to middle right and up as they are supposed to. I looked up Hal's UI and Surgency UI and tried their pitbull.lua files as well since that was where I had seen that layout, and got the same result. Going back to a version 2 weeks older, everything works fine. So try that and see if it helps for now.

Something else, the mod seems to be updated every few hours sometimes, which makes me wonder. Is the project now being done by several other folks? Also can someone link an updated alternate-Aura solution if it is still around. I did not see anything at the main wowace site.

Experimenting with oUF or pUF maybe in my near future.

The reason it's being updated is because Ellipsis now works on the project along with Ckk, and Ellipsis is currently trying to clean the code up as much as possible, which sometimes means a lot of updates during the day.

The current Aura system is far better than anything beforehand due to the fact you can alter pretty much anything about the auras, if you're having problems, just play with the offsets and the aura table sizes to get the results you would like.

As for AltAura no longer being around, the author found it pointless to update with the latest Auras module (updated last week), so that's not longer being maintained :p

Does anyone know if there is an option to create a specific window for a raid member? When you go to the raid panel, you can shift and drag out any of the members to create a single target raid window. I could not find an option in pitbull for that specific frame. Just to make sure I am not overlooking something, does anyone else have any insight to this?

aos · 02/25/08, 7:33 PM

Syrion I might be wrong but I don't think there is an option in Pitbull to do that. Pitbull works around groups of units which aren't player specific and are pre-defined. You could use the focus frame for what you are trying to do, but it would only work with one player at a time.
