PitBull: New UnitFrame Addon - Page 59

t0fflan · 12/19/08, 6:46 PM

How do I get my targets Aura buffs bordered with the correct colors (I want to know what buffs are magic and not) like the debuffs can be made, maybe even filter out the nonmagic buffs if possible...
I dont have that option for buffs, it only says "My buffs" & "Others Buffs" as options.

I have a couple issues with pitbull that I haven't been able to solve since redoing my UI for Wrath.

One is that the combat icon is immovable, and all the options are greyed out.
The other is that I can't hide my target's target while solo, and I was sure that there was an option to do that before.

I'm using the newest version off curse, v3.2.8 I think, if it matters.

Since you're a mage I'm assuming your targets buffs (like Bone Armor on Cavaliers in Naxx). These should show up by just showing buffs on target. Anything dispellable will show up there even with "My Buffs" buff filtering on if you are targeting an enemy (I believe there is a "removable by me" option or something similar). I'm not sure if there are any non-magic, dispellable, mob abilities anyways.

Has anyone found a solution to this yet? My guild has 2 druid healers, and I find myself refreshing HoT's that don't belong to me, constantly wasting mana.

You need to enable configuration mode on the first options selection. Pitbull doesnt seem to recognize 'events' until they are actually active, but this config mode will allow you to do so.

Thanks for the suggestion Supplicium, but the large part of the problem isn't in our target frame - it's in our raid frames. Take Patchwerk for instance. We're healing three tanks, so we're watching our raid frames or our MT windows so that we can monitor the hot durations on three different targets at once. We could watch another hot timer addon like Hotcandy or Lifebloomer, but we still need to look at our unit frames so that we can select the tank we'll be hotting next. This was easy before 3.0 came out, because our Pitbull raid frames by default could differentiate between our buffs and those from other druids, so it would only show ours.

However, it must be possible to modify Pitbull to show only our buffs even in our raid frames. I say this because Pitbull's Lifebloom Bar module only shows our own Lifebloom. I cannot figure out how to apply this to auras in general or I'd just do it myself.

I've been having this problem as well, though not just with Pitbull. I first noticed the problem with Pitbull, so I switched back over to AGUF, and that worked fine for a little while. Then, all of a sudden, I started having the same problem with AGUF. So now I'm back to just using the standard (and lame) Blizz unit frames. As far as I can tell, only vehicle controls got messed up when using the addons, and both times, turning off the unit frames addons returned full functionality for my vehicle commands. Has anyone else noticed this, either with Pitbull or any other unit frame addon?

Make a custom buff bar using satrina buff frames and make it show only your castable buffs on your taraget that works for me with my dots, should work for your hots.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I use Clique casting on unit frames, so for HoT rotations, I need something on the unit frame I'm 'clique'ing without selecting an actual target.

I've seen on several screenshots people who have split their portrait from the Pitbull frame, how do I do that? If thats not possible do anyone here have solution for that, another addon to just move the portrait for example.

Most of the time, that's not done with Pitbull, but with ZMOBD, wich you can find on wowinterface.

Riptide for shaman, Rejuv/LB for druids all leap to mind as spells that you want to know what is on the target so you can Cheal or Swiftmend them.

I realise that this is a very late reply, but I hope I won't get an infraction for this.

What you blame Pitbull for may not be Pitbull's fault at all. Once I found myself unable to modify sizes of unit frames. I could do everything else, but that. I disabled all other addons. Boom, I can resize again! After the strenuous job of enabling one mod at a time I found out that it was Prat that conflicted with Pitbull somehow. Now I use Chatter and Pitbull listens to me.

Is there a frequented thread or repository anywhere of interesting PitBull layouts anymore? I did some googling and searching without much luck, but am interested in cleaning up my PitBull and seeing how folks are doing some basic things (like putting a border around a unit frame that is colored by class, as opposed to coloring the background of the health bar by class, and more).

Drayerina · 01/01/09, 10:25 AM

You could use ee/kg panels with a script for the class-colored border. As far as I know there is no such option in Pitbull.

I've been having this bug for a while with Pitbull and was wondering if anyone knew of any solutions to it. What happens is sometimes when I deselect a target, the textures from the power/health bars stays on the location where the target frame was, only very faded. If I select someone else I still have the previous, faded bars on top, making it harder to see text and changes to health and power. Found that reloading the UI solves it, but as it seems to happen just about anywhere reloading is not always an option.

Any help with this?

I just had my UI crash on itself and went back to re-config pitbull. I managed to get it back to basically what I had it at before but then I went to a raid and noticed that no matter what raid sorting I selected, I could not get Death Knights to show up in the raid frames (everyone else showed like normal but DKs did not). The second problem was that before the pull when I selected another raid member their buffs showed up like normal but after we finished the fight I selected several raid members and their temp buffs (blessings, fort etc) would not show up with their aura buffs (TSA, aspects, LotP).

Any solutions would be great.
