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 I do not support ancient outdated and unmaintained mods.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.

Tooplex A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 16 Uploads: 0	I have a bit of a problem. Sometimes after a while of playing, my target buffs will lose their timers and the only way they will come back is via reloading the UI. and then i get an error come back up, but the timers come back up. Hope you can help.

Personally, I use OmniCC to get those huge numbers to display. By default (lets pretend you only had Perl Classic installed) there are no numbers on the buffs/debuffs. It should only be the circle that is slowly closing. Perhaps another mod you have is taking control of it? Make sure you don't have OmniCC installed if you don't want that behavior.

This is fixed in the next release. Thanks for the report.

Re: Setting Focus error(I think)

No unit frame mod will let you set a focus target that way. You must target something and type "/focus" or make it part of a macro.

Azza2 A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 10 File comments: 29 Uploads: 0	Is it possible if you could change the way Perl Classic saves its frame layout positions on the UI? For some reason it loses this layout data if the mod isn't loaded on a character at least once. i.e. when testing game with no addons or when I forget to click the Load out of date addons checkbox on new patches. Thanks edit: Never mind, I think that's what the Load Global settings button is for after getting the hint from the backlog of comments here Last edited by Azza2 : 04-09-10 at 09:40 AM.

If that is in fact the case, you will need to use an older version such as 3.08 which was made for patch 3.2 ( http://www.wowinterface.com/download...4275&aid=37880 ).

I see. Well i use english mode of whatever you mean

I play on test servet 3.2 patch. Maybe if i mention that it would be easyer for all of us. I've DL the older verion like you told me and now everything is OK. Thanks a lot for the help guys you are great!
I owe you a beer

What do you mean language client ?
And about those errors you talk about. The only thing i see as error is the one you see on player frame. If you mean errors witch i may have and cant see cos ... i dont know where to look, or i am blind or stupid ...
Will this bugsack show you/me all errors ?
