Perl Classic Unit Frames

Version: 10.07

by: Global [More]

If you like this mod, please vote for it!

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 adding any features to Perl_PlayerBuff?
A: No, my coding for this mod goes as far as making sure it 'works.' If anyone would like to expand upon it, feel free to do so.

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://www.curse.com/downloads/details/3416/

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 I do not support ancient outdated and unmaintained mods.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.

kazso A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 23 Uploads: 0	No health display, only percentage I'm using MobInfo2 to display mob healths in the target frame. With Perl 2.18 it worked fine, but with 2.19 i see only percentages, no matter what i set in Perl or in MobInfo2. I'm going back to 2.18, because i want to see healths and percentages, not just percentages.

Global A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 95 File comments: 212 Uploads: 5	@speak: I doubt I'll add this for the 2.x branch, but I fully intend on having this feature in 3.x. @Temp69: Sounds pretty strange. When I used Quartz, all I had to do with keep the bliz cast bar hidden in Perl (I didn't do anything special to Quartz) and it always remained hidden. If it continues to be an issue for you, you could use one of those startup script mods and just have it run the toggle for you when you enter the game. @Vangerdahast: That would be the CombatDisplay portion of the mod. @Striph: Doesn't seem to be Perl related unfortunately. A better hint may be higher up in the taint log for which mod is actually causing it. @timberbear60: Totem timer support is already in. If you meant an eta for any supporting options for it, sadly, no. Any relatively big features, I'd rather save my little bit of time to work on the 3.x recode I'm very slowly working on.

timberbear60 A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 9 File comments: 36 Uploads: 0	totem timers Any word yet when we can look for an update to include totem timers? By far the best unit frame mod I have used and have no desire to change, but I really don't want to run a seperate mod for my totems. Please, please, please help a poor shammy out. Even if we just had an option to move the buffs on the player frame would help. Last edited by timberbear60 : 06-25-08 at 05:46 PM.

Temp69 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	I have a wired behavior to report. It contains Perl + Quartz, everytime i log on now the Blizzard Casting Bar is there too, so i go to Quartz and Player Tab, there its turned on(=so i dont see it) thou, now i turn it off and on (so it is set to NOT show the Blizzard Casting Bar) again and then it really disapears. Fine.. Whenever i edit something in Perl now the problem reappears also during gameplay and not loggin in and out. I constantly have to turn on / turn off the Quartz -> Player -> Show Blizzard Casting Bar option to make it disapear for my game session. And hints / help?

speak A Wyrmkin Dreamwalker Forum posts: 57 File comments: 186 Uploads: 0	requests :p Is it possible to put in an option to not hide the self portrait frame built in by blizz? I use both the blizz self portrait and the perl_classic one. the blizz is in my upper left part of the screen, and the perl one is part of my party display (positioned above the party frame). i'm always commenting out the hide code every release. also, is it at all possible to add options to the pet frame so that buffs go into more than 1 row? in raids, my warlock pet ends up with like 20 buffs that hang off the end of the frame and into my gamespace.

As soon as I receive that code I'll put another version out. @Striph: Thanks for the bug report. Oddly enough, this is fixed already in the beta for the next version as an attempt to fix a MobHealth2/MobInfo issue someone was reporting.

Global A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 95 File comments: 212 Uploads: 5	@helohelo: I've noticed this too and from what I can tell, other mods can affect whether or not this option actually works. I'll do some further testing and see if there's any better way to implement this. @vonCroy & Olivierj: I'll make some changes and release a beta on my Curse page and see if the changes work. Expect this release before the week is over. @Castus: 1) I haven't decided yet if I will add this into Perl 3.x, but as for 2.x, you can probable do something like "/script Perl_Player_NameFrame:Hide()" and "/script Perl_Player_Name:Hide()" 2) It's been on my todo list for a long time. I'll see if I can bring myself to code it into the next version. No promises though. 3) I won't be making any further visual changes to Perl 2.x. This is something I will have fully customizable though in Perl 3.x as I want to make Perl more viable for a central unit frame layout. @CaptCrunch: Another long time feature on my todo list. I'll try some things I think may work, but like always, no eta on this.

CaptCrunch A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 18 Uploads: 0	Test Placement Mode I may have already posted this suggestion, so my apologies if I have, but it's still something I want, so I'm posting it again Could you please add a "test bar" mode where every single frame (player, targets, party, pets, etc) appears on the screen at one time? I'd love to have this so I can adjust where I want everything to be just ONCE instead of having to wait for a hunter to join the party at slot 3, or whatever, just so I can place his pet frame (assuming he doesn't dismiss it right when I'm moving it!!) This would be extremely cool. Love these frames, would not want to play without them. CC

Castus A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 24 Uploads: 0	Love this addon, but I have a few SERIOUS annoyances with it: - You can't hide the frame for your own name in the player frame. WHY? I don't need to see my own name constantly! - Target of target's buffs can't change location. We can invert target's buffs/debuffs, but not target's target, so it makes for some really annoying layout issues as well as some headscratching as to why this isn't possible!! - Target's bars are shorter than player's bars. There's basically no way to make them the same length. If a slider to adjust bar length's could be added that'd be even better.

I couldnt play without it. And now i have a problem: When i play my rogue, no combo points are shown anymore in either the target frame or the combat display frame. Am i making a mistake or is there a problem with the mod ? I deleted all perl-folders in the interface/addon folder and downloaded the latest version of perl classic unit frames (2.16)... I want my combopoint bar back, please Can someone help ? Chris EDIT: The Problem exists only for female rogues with the german version/localization... Thats because Blizz has changed to names of the classes with respect to their gender. So "rogue" in german can now be "Schurke" (male version, same as before) or "Schurkin" (didnt exist before, was Schurke as well) I changed [PERL_LOCALIZED_ROGUE = "Schurke"] to [PERL_LOCALIZED_ROGUE = "Schurkin"] in the file Interface/AddOns/PerlConfig/localization.de.lua Now the mod recognizes me as a rogue and it displays the combo point bar for me again... Its the same for every class, btw (Jäger/Jägerin, Krieger/Kriegerin, Priester/Priesterin, Druide/Druidin etc) Hope that helps... Chris Last edited by vonCroy : 03-27-08 at 11:01 AM.
