PitBull: New UnitFrame Addon - Page 53

Barkskin · 05/15/08, 11:40 PM

Alright, I've been playing with the options but I just can't seem to make it work. I recently switched over to Pitbull from X-perl. One of my favorite features from Perl was the ability to have your raid frames fade out when someone is not in range. It definitely helped on spead out fights to make sure I wasn't wasting time attempting to put heals on someone not near me. I've since switched to Pitbull and have not been able to get the same feature working.

I have range checking enabled under the Pitbull global settings, but it won't fade out the raid bars. My UI looks like so:

So I'm wondering, is anyone else having this issue? And if not, how do I solve it? I would really appreciate any assistance as I love the look I've been able to achieve with Pitbull and would hate to have to switch back.

It's possible:

Pitbull
> Global Configuration
>> Range Checking

Enable it and be happy.

And on the subject of the "dummy" icon, wowwiki describes it as well: Samwise Didier - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft

I was finally able to make it work. After looking through every catagory, I came to find that it wasn't checked in the Modules subset. It looks like that is required as well.

SOOOOO happy now! =]

I have reinstalled it and redownloaded it to no avail. Can anyone tell what's wrong?

Still can't figure this out.

I guess I just suck but this is not working the way I described.

I want my personal debuffs on a target to be two times the size of a normal buff. You can see what I mean in that invincible movie where that rogue solos Gruul. His debuffs on gruul, the raids debuffs and then his buffs below this.

If you can tell me how to do this id appreciate it.

Thanks.

Anyone have a problem getting pitbull to load properly in r74494.
I tried clean install and everything no joy.
The problem is that it doesn't load into wow and is not recognized by addon preferences.
It therefore fails to load and displays the default blizzard uf.

Yep, I just updated Pitbull, and I can see it in the addon list, before I enter the game, but it doesn't load when I'm ingame.

And ofc, I can't find the previous version now, and I overwrote the one I had. :/

Here's a fix:

For those experiencing the same problem, just go to your AddOns folder, Pitbull, and there should be a file called Pitbull.toc It may not have the .toc suffix, but there's only one file named that anyway.

Double click it, open it with Wordpad, and remove the # in front of the line where it embeds.xml

Thanks, noble8, that did the trick.

noble8 · 05/20/08, 10:09 AM

No problem.

The new update of Pitbull r74534 Fixes the above error.

I can't see enemy buffs with this or turn off raid icons (clogs screen in battlegrounds). I haven't managed to be able to fix these problems yet, how does this work?

I just rebuilt my UI and I now find that when I try and change the Bar Texture in Pitbull the only one available is the Blizzard default. Before I redid it I had many different ones to choose from. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to add more to PB?

Edit:
I switched to the newest SharedMedia and that did the trick.

Quick question regarding ToT, etc -

When I'm healing, there are several occasions I'm eying the ToT bar to get a jump on X ability that Y boss randomly targets. Zul'jin grievous throws, Rage Winterchill icebolts, etc.

I've noticed with pitbull that sometimes, I'll get a very clear ToT switch, pop off my gheal and be on my way. Other times, it's extremely quick, almost flickering from one unit and back to the tank. And more frequently, no discernable ToT switch. I've frapsed it just to make sure I'm not being overly subjective, it definitely happens.

Is there any way to prevent this? If I switch back to the old bliz ui, will I see faster ToT updates? As a healer, it's really clutch, it can totally make the difference between an offhand cast that you don't have to worry about and scrambling to make up lost ground. On the other hand, it might just be how the game works, but I'd love to know either way.
