What is Perl Classic?
Perl Classic Unit Frames are a complete rewrite of the original mods by Perl. They replace the default Player, Pet, Target, Target of Target, Party, and Party Pet frames and add dedicated frames for many other units (Focus, Focus Target, Party Target, Target of Target of Target). It has been a high priority to maintain the look and feel or the original Perl mods while expanding functionality. The mod has been recoded for performance and is built around the Blizzard UI usage of events.

Q&A
-----
Q: I'm seeing double party buffs for some reason, what gives?
A: 99% of the time this is caused by CT_PartyBuffs. Simply remove the mod and you will return to having one set of party buffs.

Q: I am having massive dead spots for clicking on some of the unit frames, what's wrong?
A: This can be caused by a number of mods, but the most common seems to be CT_MovableParty. Please remove this mod as Perl can be moved without the use of this mod.

Q: The default party frames are showing up with red lightning bolts. What's going on?
A: As of version 1.503 of CT_RaidAssist this should no longer be caused by CTRA. The settings for this are now located in the WoW settings under Interface Options -> Basic -> Raid -> Hide Party Interface.

Q: Do you support ArcaneBar?
A: Yes, it is included in your download of Perl Classic.

Q: Will you be bringing back support for Perl_PlayerBuff?
A: No, there are far better mods for both features and performance.

Q: Where are the raid frames?
A: As of 2.0 I no longer code raid frames for Perl Classic. Luckily, X-Perl's raid frames work great alongside Perl Classic. X-Perl's raid frames (and the unit frames themselves) can be found here: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/xperl.aspx

Q: The scaling is all messed up! What do i do?
A: I recommend setting the scale to that of the UI if you are having issues. Open the options menu via "/perl" or the Black Pearl icon on the minimap and set the scale accordingly under the "All" tab.

Q: I am having an issue not listed in this FAQ, what can I do?
A: First, update *every* mod. I do not support ancient outdated and unmaintained mods. If you have double checked that everything is up to date, post on any of the Perl Classic mod pages and I'll be glad to help you narrow down the issue or give suggestions to help find a solution.

Q: Can you add this feature?
A: I'm sure it's possible, but the primary purpose of this mod is to 'modernize' the original Perl mod so that it doesn't slow your game down.

Hello

This is one of my favorite addon since I have found it! I would vote for it also but I dont know where and how.

I would se one more option in this Unit frame and that is Fat Health Bars, like double thick. As an extra option in the alternative look.

Thanks for maintaining this awesome Unit Frame!

I can't find options to remove health/mana text from health/mana bars,

Also fade group member / target etc if out of range option would be nice..

Sorry for the extended MIA. I'll have a release out in the next day or two for the outstanding errors.

Thanx for the point out Salty... I'm in the same boat. I've used Perl Classic since it first came out in 2005, and I will miss its look. But I'm going to give ZPerl a try.

Yep :(. I have also used it almost from the beginning. Occasionally tried other UF addons, but always came back after few days (or hours ^^) because of the look.

With 7.2.5's EclipseBarFrame error (additional to the existing ones) and Global still not back (and possibly he will never be), I've looked again for alternatives and found https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/zperl.

Played around with the options and it almost looks like Perl Classic now :). And it supports decimal numbers, one thing I often missed.

So maybe someone else wants to give it a try, since Perl Classic seems to breake more with every patch and commenting out can't be a permanent solution.

I am also getting the 'EclipseBarFrame' error. I have NO idea how coding addons works, but I have followed the "just comment out [blah blah blah]" instructions from comments here often enough that I tried it for myself and preliminary testing seems to be working for me.

First, open the Perl_Player.lua file and search for "EclipseBarFrame". The first one you find is:

EclipseBarFrame:SetParent(Perl_Player_Frame);

So add the "comment out" dashes "--" in front of that line:

--EclipseBarFrame:SetParent(Perl_Player_Frame);

The second and third instance of that phrase are part of a single "if/then" code statement, and I added the "--" to the beginning of each line:

--if (classresourceframe == 1) then

--EclipseBarFrame:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", Perl_Player_StatsFrame, "BOTTOMLEFT", 14, 3);
--else
--EclipseBarFrame:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", UIParent, "BOTTOMLEFT", -10000, -10000);
--end

Hope that helps!

I am getting a similar error to what Brudarek posted. I could post a copy if needed. The LUA error pops up when I log in on each of my toons. I close the error window and don't see it again as long as I am on that toon. I do not know if it is causing problems in the background. Does anyone have a suggestion or solution for fixing this error? Please post it if you do. It would be greatly appreciated.

I made a new character but it's not loading global settings. Also can't get the pet frame and target frames to hide when nothing is there. On my druid they are constantly there even though I have no pet and I'm not targeting anything. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi.

I used to use perl classic unit frames for a very long time and i also suffer from the nasty scaling bug with certain character classes.

i.e. for my deathknight the runic power starts ok, but during combat the displayed values are ten times to high.

After having a look at the lua code i found the reason for this but could not catch the real cause. At the start of combat the current player power is read using (see around line 453):

playermana = UnitPower("player");

but later on, while updating the bar, the power is read using (see around line 690):

playeronupdatemana = UnitPower("player", UnitPowerType("player"));

This call (when using the second argument) returns the power ten times higher than the call above. This messes up the display of the runic power bar and value.

I added a fix for this by enhancing sourcecode to cope with this "ten times higher" problem. At least for my Deathknight things are ok now.

Here is the modified lua code in Perl_Player.lua around line 685:

local fixScaling = -1; -- Keep the scaling factor in a static variable

function Perl_Player_OnUpdate_ManaBar(self, elapsed)

  self.TimeSinceLastUpdate = self.TimeSinceLastUpdate + elapsed;

  if (self.TimeSinceLastUpdate > Perl_Player_ManaBar_Time_Update_Rate) then

    self.TimeSinceLastUpdate = 0;

    playeronupdatemana = UnitPower("player", UnitPowerType("player"));

-- >> FIX: Scaling bug manabar for Deathknight.

    -- When using UnitPower() with the seconr argument (powerType) than the returned value

    -- is ten times higher than he same call w/o the second argument.

    -- So we calculate a fixup factor here and scale the value accordingly

    if(-1 == fixScaling) then

     fixScaling = UnitPowerMax("player", UnitPowerType("player")) / playermanamax;

    end

    playeronupdatemana = floor(playeronupdatemana / fixScaling);

-- << FIX: Scaling bug manabar for Deathknight.



    if (PCUF_FADEBARS == 1) then

Two easy steps:

First, add the declaration for fixScaling above the function declaration

Second, insert the code lines from -- >>> FIX to -- << FIX below the line that reads playeronupdatemana = .....

Her is my modified version Perl_Player\Perl_Player.lua

P.S.: After "seeing" the way my post is formated on the forum i guess best is to download my modified version and replace the file in the Interface\AddOns\Perl_Player folder on your World Of Warcraft installation. Cheers.

I added a fix for this by enhancing sourcecode to cope with this "ten times higher" problem. At least for my Deathknight things are ok now.

Hello Andi, thanks a lot for sharing this!
I added your lines and it works fine for the other classes too :).

After using Perl for years, I tried some alternatives since 7.2 but there was always something I did not like very much, so I'm happy to stop the search.

E: I noticed a jumping mana bar. Not always, but often. I think it happens after changing a spec, it looks like an inverted "ten times higher"/1% problem.

quick fix: Open Perl_Target.lua

delete the following:

-- Begin: Voice Chat Icon already in progress?
if (UnitIsTalking(UnitName("target"))) then
Perl_Target_VoiceChatIconFrame:Show();
else
Perl_Target_VoiceChatIconFrame:Hide();
end
-- End: Voice Chat Icon already in progress?

Search for the lines in Perl_Target, Perl_Party, and Perl_Focus with TALK in them, comment out all the surrounding lines in the function, it'll be a few above and a few below with -- (2 dashes) before each line. I got those errors to stop that way but it does not fix the resource errors (rage, etc). There is a post a few comments down about this also whish is where I got it from to try it. If you use something simple like WordPad and search for TALK in these 3 files there is only the 1 place in each file you need to do it to.

Hopefully the author will see these soon and address it. Otherwise it seems like Z-Perl does not have these issues from my understanding if people feel they need to move on and deal with the configuration all over again.
