Is there a way to modify the DK runes at all in pitbull yet? I'd love to be able to make them larger at least, if not move them around, but I couldn't find anything in the pitbull config menus that was for the DK runes. I haven't had a chance to dig thru the lua yet to see if there are values in there that can be hacked, but I was hoping for a way to do it thru the GUI really. If there's not a way to do this now, is this something that might get added in later as an extra module/bar/etc?

Make sure you have fully updated your Pitbull. TBH, I don't recall which version I'm using (from Curse or Wowace, I think I'm using the one from curse, but no guarantees), but one of them has this error very frequently. The other still has it happen, but rarely (so it isn't much of a problem).



As to showing Debuffs/Buffs on targets, I found a workaround for my DK (for debuffs, unsure as to how well this will work with buffs) using Quartz and Power Auras. I have a feeling Power Auras would be your best bet for this, but again, no guarantees (you could probably set it up to show an icon for each specific tank [by name], but that might be more work than you had planned. Although, you are given plenty of room for lots of auras, so you can make a bunch and enable/disable quickly based on your raid comp).

The strange fake/incomplete frames that appear in pitbull and stay there, for me, happen when someone joins a party or raid that I'm in, while I'm in combat.

Reloading the UI always fixes it, which I do with "/rl" as thats the shortest way I know.

Its the client, not pitbull. With pitbull not loaded at all, frames still do odd things in a party when combat state and uh user traffic are combined. I finally saw this for myself recently when I was running around with a mostly default UI after switching to my roommates desktop when my laptop fucked itself with a football bat.

Just so you know - there's Pitbull4.0 in the works now:
PitBull 4.0 - WowAce Forums

Time to start a new New unitframe thread?

Has anyone every seen Pitbull get stuck in a state where when you bring up the config window the only options that you have are to set one of the configuration modes? I had that happen during an eye of eternity raid last night when I needed to make a small change.

Yes it is a problem when you are A) in a raid, B) in in instance, C) have a lot of specific dogtags. if any or all of these are true you could have issues.

I've seen this too and for me it always happens when i'm playing battlegrounds. Your theory on people joining while i'm in combat makes sense as i'm nearly always in combat in BGs and people AFK out/join late/switch BG etc.

I've had another problem as well with the party frames: Occaisionally they just won't update at all when someone joins the party. For example, someone will invite me so we're the only two people in the party, but then the next three people he invites will never show up in the frames. Last time it happened i tried a /reloadui and the frames came back, but the default bliz party frames also appeared underneath them. It only fixed itself after a relog. It hasn't happened enough for me to pinpoint the cause, but i could well have been in combat when joining the party like the error with the ghost frames.

There are so many issues related to questhelper that I cannot see how these frustrations could possibly culminate in faster leveling times.


Another issue that I found the other day, which is extremely frustrating. Normally I do not run Party Pets or any pets at all except for my pet. When doing Oculus, this does not fly, so I enable it temporarily. Adjusting the size of the party pet frame also affects the size of the party frame, and disabling the Party Pets module removes the Party frame as well. There is a temporary solution: Enable the one you want to modify, disable the other. Make your modifications. Disable the current one. Enable Party. Enable Party Pets. When you disable Party Pets, you have to disable Party and re-enable it again to see pets again.

Well i've never used Questhelper so that rules that one out. Cartographer and mobmap have always served me well for a bit of quest help. The in-combat bugging does make sense though, i'm sure most of the time mine's messed up has been while i'm killing mobs while organising a group through /1 or lfg. I'll just have to try to remember to make groups while in towns or somewhere safe. Good to know what caused it at least.

I am having an issue with mouseover macros, that I am not sure if it is Pitbull or something else.
Here is the issue.
I created a mouseover macro where i can cast a spell normally on a target, but if i press a modifier, it will cast that spell on mouseover. Here is the macro:

/cast [target=mouseover, modifier: alt, help] Flash Heal; Flash Heal

This mouseover works perfectly. I can cast it when my mouse is physically over a person, AND most importantly when my mouse is over the raidunit frame. My problem? is that SOME spells don't like the macro.

For instance,

/cast [target= mouseover, modifier:alt, help] Abolish Disease; Abolish Disease

Will work when the mouse is physically over the person, but will do NOTHING if i use the modifier and the mouse is over the unit frame. What is even odder is that some spells need different modifiers. PWS and Flash Heal work without any problems and doesn't matter what the modifiers are, (ctrl/alt, etc). Greater Heal and Penance need the modifier to be alt, and will not work if it is ctrl. Abolish Disease, and Dispel Magic will only work on mouseovers of actual characters and not raid frames regardless of the modifier.

Is this Pitbull? Or is there something about these spells that i am not getting.

First off, for the love of God, a new line does not have to follow immediately after a period. It sucks to read, looks like shit, and makes no sense whatsoever.

Secondly, no, that does not sound like pitbull. Easy test: Disable all addons. Join group w/ random person. Test macros. If the problems you are describing don't occur, it is an addon. Enable addons one by one until you do find the problematic addon. If the problem still occurs w/ no addons, you dicked up your macros or you keybindings.
