Changelog Highlights

v4.1.16 changes

Updated class spells for RangeFinder.
Updated class purge and dispel Aura filters (fixed highlighting).
Added allied race Aura filters.

v4.1.15 changes

Fixed Artifact Power bar/text from showing the values from an artifact weapon before an azerite artifact.

v4.1.12 changes

Added some Aura filters based on what the default UI shows (personal buffs, group buffs, target debuffs, group debuffs).
Added VoiceIcon module.
Updated Short and VeryShort LuaTexts to be locale-aware.
Added inactive boss frames support (previously hidden boss frames will be shown now, thanks TheDanW).

v4.1.10 changes

Added support for Battle for Azeroth.
Added Allied races for LuaText functions.

v4.1.0 changes

Frame anchoring. For example, you can anchor your Target of target frame to your Target frame so that it moves when you move your Target frame. 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 has Cast bar enabled 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.
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).

Hello.

I cannot make arena's opponents frames to properly show up. When I enter match they are simply not exists on my screen. The only way to display them is manually Enable the group in setting after gates are open. There also no way to show frames before gates are open, while default GUI and other addons could handle it.

I had almost zero experience with Lua until today, but was digging mod for a while for missing, or different events which could help, but none helped and seems it will take some time to understand how mod is operating in his full complexity. Some pieces of code made me thing that I am looking for wrong events or feature not fully implemented.

There are also bug report about 4 years old without any reply.

So my question: is problem known but has the low priority or frames usually working well for most people and I have to search for solution somewhere else?

Just to notice, for testing purposes I completely removed all mods except pitbull and cleared settings, cache, but problem still persists.

People have reported having issues with boss/arena frames not showing even though they're enabled, but I've never been able to replicate that myself :\ I've never done much arena so the testing there is pretty non-existent, unfortunately.

Arena prep frames are something I've worked on here and there but never really finished. They aren't actual unit frames, just mock frames that serve to show the class/spec before unit info is available, so implementing them in the same style as the actual frames involves a bunch of hacks that I was never happy with. I've worked on them recently, so maybe I'll just bite the bullet and force myself to finish them, but I can't give an ETA for when they'll be ready.

Hey, I've been looking and trying a few different things but can't seem to find what i'm after or figure it out on my own (it's probably something pretty simple though =\) I was just wondering if it's possible / how to get the unit frames to show player realms beside their names, Thanks. =)

Not super simple, not super hard, just need to be able to edit some code.

The basic name text is:

return '%s %s%s%s',Name(unit),Angle(AFK(unit) or DND(unit))

What you need to do is modify that to use the realm if it is set. You end up with something like:

local name, server = Name(unit)
if server and server ~= "" then name = name.."-"..server end

return '%s %s%s%s',name,Angle(AFK(unit) or DND(unit))

Basically, take those first two lines and add them to the start of the text then replace "Name(unit)" with "name" anywhere else you see it.

Hope that helps

I noticed in raid last night that even though the tanks were set by the raid leader as normal, my pitbull tank group wasn't showing the raid tanks as expected.

The guild healers told me that apparently the API call (or something?) has been changed by blizz, and it's breaking pretty much every addon that tracks tanks automatically. Do you know what they're talking about? Is there a fix possible/planned for this?

The tanks were set MAINTANK or their role was just set to TANK? I'm unaware of an API change regarding raid roster info, so I'm not sure what your guildies are talking about, but setting someone as MT shows that player in a group that is set to only show MTs. https://puu.sh/Bru5J/f3e31283a2.webm

Yes, that's the issue. Even though they're set to MT by the raid leader, they aren't appearing in the pitbull tank group.

Been using Pitbull since wrath, largely with the same settings. So this isn't an issue with the raid leader not setting tanks properly.

As I showed in the clip, it works as expected for me, so the (mostly blizzard) code that controls showing the units is working fine.

Feel free to PM your PB savedvars and tell me what profile and group it is and I'll check it out. Also, if you use alphas make sure the group is enabled and the filter is still set to main tanks (I made some db changes, but not sure how it would cause your issue).

Hiya,

Thanks for the replies. I figured out the issue.

A long time ago, I disabled tank frames on 40-man raids. My guess is that previously, even though raids could flex up to 30 people, they were classified as 20-man raids by the addon (or by the blizz UI, I have no idea).

In any case, the new raid on normal and heroic difficulty is apparently classified as a 40-man raid. Enabling 40-man tank frames solved the issue. Thanks!

Default UI uses the experience bar to display Heart of Azeroth experience progress. Experience bar on player unit frame disappears at max level. Any chance tracking HoA will come to PB?

P.S. Thanks for all your hardwork!

Is it possible to only show and customize my target Buff Debuffs? without having to show them for myself, target of target, party?
I used to do that with this addon for years now but with the new update, it seems like I cannot do that anymore. :(

The aura settings are per layout (as they've always been), so if you use a different layout for player, party, etc, you can configure them independently

Ive been trying to figure out how to make enrage buffs highlight the target frame on my druid just like my shaman does. But either im not doing it right, or this isnt possible within the options.

Any ideas?

Edit: Ah yes UnitTargetsVehicleInRaidUI was added around 7.3 for mechanics like you mentioned. I have a fix that'll I'll test tonight. I should have been paying attention when the SUF and oUF guys were talking about this, lol
