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 I do not support ancient outdated and unmaintained mods.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.

I am remembering to save settings / save global settings each time. Loading global settings moves them to the spot I saved them in, but having to load global settings every time I log in gets annoying. Any idea how to fix this?

If you manually drag a frame, it should update it's position in blizzard's frame location file. Try dragging the frame in question to a random place before using any frame alignment/loading buttons.

The easiest way to is to type "/focus" when you have no target. Other than that, most macros will clear the focus target when its conditions are not met.

If you want to unfocus a target, have nothing targeted and type "/focus". @gantonski: I stopped looking at memory usage of other similar mods a long time ago. I do know though that X-Perl and Perl Classic go about things in 2 different ways. When you log into WoW, Perl Classic eats up all the memory it needs right then and not during combat. X-Perl (and Pitbull) like to log in with the smallest possible footprint and use memory as it needs it, which is fine, just not my style. Anyway, yes, the target frame supports changing the size of buffs (not very well, I coded that buff size changing first in the mod and it leaves a lot to be desired, the party frame buff resizing is done correctly at least. The bottom line is though, choose a mod you are happy with for its looks, not its code. Most unit frame mods these days are more than ok and just need to fit your looks.

This isn't the case in the going on 2 years and will be a miracle if it is ever released version. Pipe dreams are fun to have though. @gedrus: I honestly have no plans to tweak the rune bar. There are some nice dedicated mods for that which will do a much better job than I ever will.

I did not notice a previous post about this, so I am sorry if it has been covered. The Runebar for Deathknights is right below the Player frame. This is fine, but I wouldn't mind being able to detach the runebar and place it below my character with the combat display. It would be great if it was an option for the combat display in some fashion as well. Perhaps I can use another addon to do this that is compatible with Perl? RuneMover maybe?

Is it possible to enable the shadow-timer-thingy's on the buffs located on the party unit frames? I hope this makes sense!
Thanks!!

Easy enough, this will be in the next version. If you are using a mod like OmniCC, you will need to make sure that the buffs/debuffs in question are big enough to trigger that mod to display the time left text.

It would also be cool to be able to somehow highlight/whatever the buffs/debuffs I can dispell (magic).

Fat bars aren't coming, sorry. Being able to only show curable debuffs or your own personal debuffs on targets will be.
