Anyone know how I can fix it? what should I do to fix the first screen, when I'm in party, raid or BG so i dont se them at all, only at Grid.
If this is Pitbull and I'm guessing it is (it wouldn't show on that list), those are your raid frames. Just go into the configuration and disable them.

If you want to see what will show during certain times (solo, party, raid, etc) there's a mock setup at the top/left corner you can select to see which panels these are so you can disable them.

For example, I set Buff Frame 4 (Which is a large frame just to the left of my character) to show heroism and bloodlust (I added bloodlust for the purposes of faction champions). But if i target someone who has either of these buffs, whether I have them or not, they are displayed in the frame.

Another issue I get is that buffs which are stacked seem to be shown repeatedly, but only if the target has them. For example, I targetted a shaman who had Water Shield active (this was one of the spells i attributed to a specific frame), and it showed the buff icon 3 times, all of which were saying 3 stacks. The same goes for Arcane Blast. However, if I am the one that has the buff/debuff then it only shows in the frame once with the number of stacks.

Basically, I would like to know if there is another way of configuring the addon to work in the same way but without showing the buffs/debuffs when my enemy has them.
For your frame, in SBF options, on the general tab, what is set for the frame unit? Make sure it is set to player, because that is what is effecting what buffs are shown. From what you're saying, it sounds like everything else is configured properly, though the multi-icons for multiple stacks is weird.

I'm looking for an addon to track inspiration / ancestral fortitude buffs on people raidwise, especially tanks ofc. I've seen grid being able to track inspiration by icons at least, but didnt get it to work. Does grid icons also provide way to track either of those, which ever is on atm?

But im open for other addons aswell that could just provide info about tanks, if they have either of the 2 buffs or not.

Reposting from our guild forum, one of our healers, Erulisse posted guide for other healers to incorporate random debuffs in order to have people focus on healing more those specific targets





Have in mind that this screens were made for DEBUFS - all you have to do is to set them for inspiration / ancestral fortitude so they show how you want and where you want them.

Hi

Im building myself a new UI based on (mainly) Pitbull, eepanels and oUF D3Orbs. Problem is I don´t know jack about
lua programming. By reading the luafiles I can usually figure out the rough function of a line or segment of code and
figure out how to move or resize things by manipulating numbers.

But now I´ve hit a wall with the D3orbs addon (oUF D3Orbs : WoWInterface Downloads : oUF: Layouts)
I know what I want to do designwise. The main trouble is how to make one orb smaller than the other.
By default they look something like this:



but what Im trying to do is more like this (sorry for the crude drawing):



1: health
2: mana
3: innervate CD

Ive asked the addon author if its possible to do this and he told me that I simply haveto add a few lines for manaorbsize but not knowing anything about coding I have no clue how to phrase a new line. Im guessing this is the segment of code Im supposed to be editing:

--create orb func
local function d3o2_createOrb(self,type)
local orb
if type == "power" then
orb = CreateFrame("StatusBar", "oUF_D3Orbs2_PlayerPowerOrb", self)
else
orb = CreateFrame("StatusBar", nil, self)
end
orb:SetStatusBarTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\rTextures\\orb_transparent.tga")
orb:SetHeight(orbsize)
orb:SetWidth(orbsize)
orb.bg = orb:CreateTexture(nil, "BACKGROUND")
orb.bg:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\rTextures\\orb_back2.tga")
orb.bg:SetAllPoints(orb)
orb.Filling = orb:CreateTexture(nil, "ARTWORK")
if type == "power" then
orb.Filling:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\rTextures\\"..orbfilling_texture)
else
orb.Filling:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\rTextures\\"..orbfilling_texture)
end

But all Ive managed to do with it so far is invent various ways to break the addon. This is just a wild stab in the dark but perhaps there is someone out there who has some experience with this mod or just has such awesome coding skills that a glance on this segment is enoughe? Any help would be greatly apreciated.

I'd try something like replacing:

orb:SetHeight(orbsize)
orb:SetWidth(orbsize)

with this:

if type == "power" then
orb:SetHeight(orbsize)
orb:SetWidth(orbsize)
else
orb:SetHeight(orbsize * 0.75)
orb:SetWidth(orbsize * 0.75)
end

It will make all non-power orb 75% percent in size of the power orb. Replace the factor by another of your choice or stick with a plain value as desired.

Awesome, thank you so much! Now I can get on with my UI layout. ^^

Oh and in case someone else gets the idea to change orbsizes I found out that I also need to change this part

if type == "power" then
orb.Filling:SetWidth(orbsize)
orb.Filling:SetHeight(orbsize)
else
orb.Filling:SetWidth(orbsize * 0.75)
orb.Filling:SetHeight(orbsize * 0.75)
end

in the same manner to get the background texture to match whatever size youre giving the orb.

If so then what does passing judgement on an idea you claim to not know make you?

Since 3.2.2 I cannot get Pitbull 3 or CowTip to function. I've tried reinstalling Pitbull, turning off every mod but Pitbull and deleting WTF, but Pitbull will not even load. Any help?

Make sure "load out of date addons" is checked in the addons button in WoW?

Yes, that is checked - any other ideas?

EDIT: I found it - there was an embedded library (LibRock's) in another mod (Chinchilla) that had somehow become the problem. Deleting this worked.

Hey guys, got a question about Pitbull 3.0. Its updated and everything, working fine, but for some reason, its not showing my Black arrow or piercing shot bleed debuff on my hunter. It is just showing my stings and hunters mark, nothing else. I dont know why and i have my debuff's enabled. Any ideas on how to get my other debuff's to show? Or a better question, why isnt it showing all my debuffs and how can i fix it? Thanks in advanced!

Using a very old version of LynSettings I'm trying to move the default unitframes to a better location. It works fine, until I enter a vehicle type mount. Like the mounts at Argent Tournament or WG machines.

Normal
Mounted
After dismounting

Now, the last screenshot can be solved with a simple /console reloadUI. But the problem in the second screenshot is persistent. I am thinking I am missing some parts of code and my experience with .lua is very, very limited.

The code I am using to move the unitframes is:

-- movin' unitframes
-- code of indie's zsettings
local tl, tc, tr, ml, mc, mr, bl, bc, br = 'TOPLEFT', 'TOP', 'TOPRIGHT', 'LEFT', 'CENTER', 'RIGHT', 'BOTTOMLEFT', 'BOTTOM', 'BOTTOMRIGHT'
function go(f, p, p1, p2, x, y)
  f:ClearAllPoints()
  f:SetPoint(p1, p, p2, x, y)
  f:SetScale(1)
end
go(PlayerFrame, UIParent, mr, mc, -150, -260)
go(TargetFrame, UIParent, ml, mc, 150, -260)

-- party frames
PartyMemberFrame1:ClearAllPoints()
PartyMemberFrame1:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", UIParent, 5, -15)

local playerlevel = UnitLevel("player")
if playerlevel == MAX_PLAYER_LEVEL then
    PlayerFrameTexture:SetTexture("Interface\\TargetingFrame\\UI-TargetingFrame-Elite.blp");
elseif playerlevel > MAX_PLAYER_LEVEL/70 then
    PlayerFrameTexture:SetTexture("Interface\\TargetingFrame\\UI-TargetingFrame-Rare-Elite.blp");
end

I'm not sure if this is a DK-specific problem or what, but I'm trying to find a mod that will reliably show me the GCD timer, and I'm having no luck. I've tried GCD, the IceHUD module, and Quartz's GCD module. All three of them have problems with sometimes failing to show the GCD, and not always at the same time. Running all three simultaneously, using an ability may cause the GCD display to trigger on two and not the third, but it happens with all of them at least sometimes. Obliterate seems to be the ability that has problems most frequently, but it's not the only culprit. It's very annoying, and having a GCD timer that only works sometimes is arguably worse than not having one at all.

So is there another GCD mod out there that's more reliable than these?

Edit: Solved it, after a little digging - it is DK-specific, in that using the last of any rune type puts the ability on a longer cooldown than the GCD, which confuses the addons. The fix is to change whatever spell the addon is using to something that doesn't use runes or have its own cooldown - rank 1 death coil seemed like the obvious choice to me (spell ID 59134). This fixed IceHUD's GlobalCooldown module, at least.

hi guys, I've been trying to find a way to remove the blinking icons on the ForteXorcist cooldown timer, picture inc.



Seems that buffs with more than 3 minute show as blinking at the end of the bar? (in the white square), and I was wondering if there was any way to change this? Thanks in advance.

Macro question:

I'd like to add a modifier:ctrl statement to my mouseover Dispel Magic macro in order to let me either Dispel Magic or Abolish Disease depending on the modifier, but nothing is working so far.

Basically, to combine the two below:

#showtooltip
/cast [modifier:ctrl] Abolish Disease; Dispel Magic

#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover,help] [help] [target=targettarget,help] [ ] Dispel Magic

I've taken a few stabs at this, but nothing so far has worked out. Shouldn't it be something like,

#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover,help] [help] [target=targettarget,help] [ ] [modifier:ctrl] Abolish Disease; [target=mouseover,help] [help] [target=targettarget,help] [ ] Dispel Magic

work?

Per Fitzcairn's Macro Explain-o-matic the first section for the Abolish Disease would work, but it persistently thinks that Dispel Magic can only be cast on yourself (a /cast [target=mouseover] still makes it say that it'd be cast on yourself), so I can't figure out if it'd work. According to it, the problem you were having with yours was the [], due to it always being true and the macro never going beyond that point. I added the target=player assuming you were trying to put it on yourself and the various mod and nomod things to clarify when each section would fire (programming habits, have to account for all possibilities and vagaries of computers).

Unit-Frame strata?

Hope I can phrase this in a way that makes sence. I know how I want my UI setup, but to get the clean look I want I need help with my unit frames! I have pitbull now and also tried shadowframes and so far no luck. I don't really care what addon I use, I just want this to work!

I want to overlap unit frames!

The stupid picture below sort of shows what I want. The "+" are the borders and the "." are just place holders and would be the health or mana bar, as appropriate. I want to be able to put my target's target frame on my target's frame. Maybe I have to learn how to upload a pic to show what I want.

The problem I have is when I put the ToT over my Target I cannot pick which one is on top. And it seems to always be my Target, not my ToT. Any suggestions?


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+......................................+....TARGET of Target health.............+
+......................................+++++++++++++++++++++++++
+.......TARGET health................................................................+
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+.......TARGET mana.................................................................+
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

There are two methods in place to allow you to control overlapping frames - one is frame strata (UITYPE FrameStrata - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft), the other is frame level (which is just a number. higher numbers will overlap lower numbers). Using the wow API and lua code the way to do this is with :SetFrameStrata() and :SetFrameLevel(). I'm not sure if Pitbull supports these, but you'd have to check the options. I know Stuf Unit Frames supports both of these.

That's the functionality of ForteXorcist's cooldown module. Whenever two cooldowns overlap, that is to say they have a cooldown that's approximately the same remaining duration, then the icons will blink to show you all of the cooldowns (rather than one being dominant and overlapping the icons of the other cooldowns).

Yes, that worked perfectly. Although, I ended up having to tweak a few portions of the dispel magic half, when I realized it wouldn't let me dispel from enemy targets.

Quite of the "looking for mod" type

I'm playing a Shadow Priest. As i'ts known (or not) Spriests have a problem with SW:P refreshment, which occurs via Pain & Suffering talent. The problem we have is that when that talent refreshes our DoT it tick with the same stats as the one we have casted.
So I'm looking for a mod that will show me when specific proc's occur. But not only those from talents, but also trinks, equip proc's etc. The only thing is that I would like it to allert me when ALL of the able procs are on at that moment of time. I know ShadowGreenLights works that way but it doesn't take into account the equipment and trinkets proc's. I'd be glad for any help.

Is there a way to fix cargBags Nivaya : WoWInterface Downloads : Plug-Ins & Patches to work with the current patch? I've the feeling this addon is responsible for some glitchy bugs (content of bags as well as instant disconnects), but I much prefer the way it looks over its updated alternatives.

//edit: I tried Baggins, which'll work, but prefer the looks on Nivaya.

I have what hopefully is a very small problem.

I recently made a video, and as a result, have hundreds of people who want my UI uploaded ASAP. Now, I've uploaded a UI for a friend before and worked out fine, but now I can't get the profiles on ANY of my mods to work. It seems to only malfunction when I delete all my other character folders (none of which even use a UI). But if I copy-paste the existing WTF folder in and out and keep all the character folders intact, bam, it works.

Here are all the folders I have:

Fonts
Interface -> Add Ons
WTF -> Account -> ACCOUNT NAME -> SERVER NAME -> CHARACTER NAME -> Saved Variables

I've deleted nothing in the folders except the other characters besides the [CHARACTER NAME] one, and as said before.. no profiles are recognized if I do that.



Please.. can anyone help? I apologize if I'm being too broad in explaining my problem, but I'm getting frustrated because as far as I know, I'm doing everything correctly.
