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 I do not support ancient outdated and unmaintained mods.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.

No, actually they changed the mob that I had targeted. The wolf rider scout near the Warsong lumber mill used to be a civvie, but no longer. I did find a civilian later though, and the perl UI does display it correctly.

I was not familiar with the mod so I checked it out. I have no intention to start supporting tons of different mods like this, but I'm also not planning on changing my frame name scheme ever. Perhaps you could ask AceHeal to support this mod

I dig this mod, I noticed since using it, sometimes my frame rate is a bit slower, but nothing major enough for me to stop using it. Nice work.

I've done the best I can do minimize updates and only do stuff when the game tells it to with events. I'm sure if i gutted every option out and eliminated every if statement it would run a lot better. Options come at a price I guess even in a small mod like this. I haven't noticed the frame rate decrease though

Global A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 95 File comments: 212 Uploads: 5	/pcd is the command for the combatdisplay. the player frame is /pp . so the command you want to do is /pp xp 3

chocobo15_1000 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	perlunitframes is awesome, nice and simple .. not a whole lot going on which is good... i absolutely love it one issue i have though is with the /ppty hide options i have mine set on "hidden in raids" and most of the time, the 4 party member units will pop out over my raid icons and block everything. Is there a way to prevent that? I mean it is suppose to be hidden in raids, but sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. only other mods i have are Discord Action Bars, Titan Panel, and CTRA thanks in advance

the party frame that shows up are the perl ones, not the default blizzard ones.

yep, just dled the newest version and still had the problem from the older version.

most of time this will happen when I get D/C'ed and upon reconnect, i'll be in party mode even though i'm still in raid mode. Sometimes this will occur when I die, and when i corpse run back into the instance, i'm in party mode again.
