PitBull Unit Frames 4.0
Woof. Arf. Yip.
Getting Started:
You can help translate PitBull for your language with the localization tool.
Classic
PitBull works with WoW Classic! Some things that are different from retail:
- Health is only reported as the percentage (0-100). PitBull supports showing actual values if you also install Real Mob Health.
- Aura duration is not available from the API, so PitBull uses LibClassicDurations to show them. The duration can be inaccurate if it's affected by rank or talents.
- Cast info is only available for your spells from the API. PitBull uses LibClassicCasterino to show cast bars for other units, but this can be inaccurate since there is a lot of guess-work involved.

- Added sorting and filtering party groups by role.
- Aura: Added Arcane Torrent for Blood Elves and updated purge filters.
v4.1.0 changes
- Frame anchoring. For example, you can anchor your
Target of targetframe to yourTargetframe so that it moves when you move yourTargetframe. In config mode, frames anchored to another frame will show a gray line connecting them at the anchor points set. -
Multiple unit frames
- Want a player cast bar that auto-hides and doesn't squish your other bars together? Create a new unit frame and set the unit to
Player, set a layout that only hasCast barenabled on it, and anchor it to your original player frame. - Due to how the indicator offset system works, it makes fine-tuning the position of secondary resource icons awkward. You can now create a duplicate unit frame for positioning your combo points exactly where you want.
- Frame names now use the unit frame label instead of the unit. For example, PitBull4_Frames_player is now PitBull4_Frames_Player, PitBull4_Frames_targettarget is now "PitBull4_Frames_Target's target". You'll need to update any addons (kgPanels) that anchor to your unit frames. You can check the name of the frame with
/framestack.
- Want a player cast bar that auto-hides and doesn't squish your other bars together? Create a new unit frame and set the unit to
- Default frame positions. Starting from scratch no longer dumps all of the frames in the middle of your screen. They will now show in a layout similar to the Blizzard layout.
- Added Masque support for auras. If you use Masque, you can set the skin for the layout under Aura->Display or in Masque under "PitBull4 Aura". Two PitBull skins are provided that will work with hiding/showing the border as set in the settings, or you can disable Masque support completely in the module options (Modules->Aura).
Ive been screwing around with some of the settings, and I cannot figure out how to get the target frame to highlight on my hunter when there is a dispellable buff/enrage.
It kind of works, but then breaks again. Like its not saving the setting.
Looks like it's still checking your pet. I'll do a pass on class dispel stuff

New alpha works perfectly, thanks! =)
Does anyone know what pattern i need to add to omnicc to alter the pitbull buff/debuff timers again? i reinstalled omnicc and now i can't figure out the name :(
You can check the name of most frames by using /fstack then mousing over it. For PitBull4 auras, you probably want to use 'PitBull4_Cooldown' in OmniCC
In the latest version, the blizzard player frame isn't hidden by default, you have to go into modules -> hide blizzard frames and toggle player frame on and off. Alternatively create a macro for /script PlayerFrame:Hide(). I tried reinstalling pitbull but the same issue occurred. Is this a known defect? Thanks, love this addon, been using is since the very beginning!
Do you use Raven? From issue #1302:
In reply to nebula169:
That was the issue, thanks a lot for the suggestion, worked perfectly
Is there a way in pitbull 4 to get the buffs and defuffs to sort by time remaining?
Does anyone know how to "highlight" the selected target by "border". I mean when someone is selected, there is a border on his frame, otherwise the border is hidden.
Newest Classic version updating to Retail instead, making it nonfunctional (Twitch client).
I can't do anything about the client updating to a release for the wrong game version. You just have to manually revert back to a correct release if it happens.
The frames are acting weird in Classic WoW for me. For example, I have to manually go into pitbull each time the game reloads/loads and then disable and re-enable target otherwise the target frame will not appear at all.
Maybe I just haven't found it yet, but after tons of searching through options, I can't seem to find a way to reposition the special resource bar that attaches to the player frame (Holy power, DK Runes, etc). I know I can choose which point of the frame to attach it to, but how I have my bar set up (centered below character with action bars below and above and weakauras near that) I can't move it far enough away from the cluster to not have it overlap and interfere with my setup. I've resorted to disabling that part and using a different addon for that resource for the classes that use it, but I'd like to use the one that comes with this addon so I don't need a second addon for it.
If I'm missing some positional setting that lets me define the x/y positioning of that resource, please point me in the right direction...
If not, could this be implemented?
Thanks for all the work done so far, it's a great addon!
I have this weird bug that _some_ of my personal buffs wont have the optical fader radial thingie. It looks like a bug, because it happens to random buffs and gets fixed after you switch around some options (like "supress cooldown duration") but it breaks again after a while (usually after changing zones).
Its not dependent on the souce, on my ret paladin I would cast two blessings and one will have the radial display, and the other one wont.
Its a pretty minor annoyance but it is really bugging me :(
Any tipp how I can enable debuff/buff duration text on enemy debuffs/buffs? Currently I'm just seeing a optical fader on debuffs, text is only visible on my own buffs. Tried already ClassicAuraDurations but it's somehow not working with Pitbull.
The library behind ClassicAuraDurations is what PitBull uses to provide the duration. If you don't see the event for when the aura is applied (limited combat log range), you won't see the duration.
That being said, make sure you actually have the remaining texts enabled on the layout under Aura->Texts
In reply to nebula169:
Thankyou so much, it is working as I want now.
I didn't find a place to gave a suggestion, so I will post it here. I Mod the aura modul to highlight my debuffs on an enemy. I think it could be a think for others. So maybe you will add it. I insert the foloring in the Modules\Aura\Update.lua
