Perl Classic Unit Frames

Version: 10.05

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 I do not support ancient outdated and unmaintained mods.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.

Aygen A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 162 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	I've always loved Perl-Classic ... but since it was updated for 2.0, I've been getting this "Skeleton" of the orrigional Bliz party, pet, and target frames. ... They serve no purpose ... as in there is no data in them ... just a white frame behind the new perl frame. ... Any Idea why?

Try disabling all mods except for Perl and see if it still happens. If it does, please download a new copy of Perl. @Thargos: I'd like to make a few of the top options be displayed somewhere else at some point. The list of things to do is just very long right now.

Could you please fix that ?

This is a bug with the WoW client, not Perl. They incorrectly set the permissions on that function as well as the duel function. All unit frame mods have this issue currently.

Also, any plans to add a target casting bar?

I can't show or hide parts of frames in combat anymore. So unfortunately, this was a necessary change for 2.0. Also, the frame hiding/showing thing is a bit more complicated than that, but that's the short version. As far as target casting, it's planned, no ETA as I'm leaving for vacation for a few weeks tomorrow.

Re: Global - Small Functionality request

Global - thanks for all your work on this. After minigroup2 started having problems I switched to Perl and have used it since.

One request that I have is the ability to place the location of buffs/ debuffs of your TARGET and TOT in a spot different than just below. I normally place my target frame on the bottom of the screen and want to put the debuffs above the unitframe - not below. This would help clean up my UI considerably. If this could be implemented like the party buffs/ debuffs that would be great.

I don't think that this would be too hard to implement.

Thanks again for all your great work.

You can already place the target frame buffs above the frame. The option is called "Invert Buffs/Debuffs" or something. I haven't made this option available yet for the ToT frames though. It is planned though.
