Perl Classic Unit Frames  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

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 I do not support ancient outdated and unmaintained mods.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.

Is there any way to get "filter class buffs/debuffs" to let the "greater heal" buff from 8/8 Transcendence be visible?

@cheadstina: I'll think about it for a future release.

@Pater: Unfortunately, no. This is a built in feature of Blizzard's buff system so tweaks to it can't really be easily made. Maybe if you ask on the UI forum they will add more buffs to the filters.

It's located on Curse and soon to be worldofwar because they have the easiest to use systems for multiple files for a single mod. If that feature is available on wowinterface, then I'll add them here too. I didn't want to open the mod to public patches, so I left that option off. Is there another way to add more files? I really don't feel like having 5 other mod pages here just for the optionals.

yep :|

i think the only way to do it here is to enable the "Patch & Addon" stuff like it is in http://www.wowinterface.com/download...fo.php?id=4744 bongos (and others too).

but if you do that, i think it's available to everyone to upload stuff into.

i'm sure if a good author like you asks the site ops about this, they can figure out a way to do it so only you can upload patches/addons to your mods.

thanks for the info. i'll keep an eye on this site, and curse, and worldofwar for updates :P

Perl Raid - I'm Unable to move the frames

Definitely have them unlocked, however, they just won't move

Anyone have any ideas? I am for sure using the latest versions for all of the Perl components.

This has been like this for a few revs now, in fact, it has never moved for me.

Please help!

Be sure you have the Group Header option turned on. The "Group #" text is the only valid dragable piece of the mod.

That did the trick! Thanks.

btw. I LOVE this mod. So to the author, thank-you for making my Wow experience visually and functionally much more appealing than the crap default blizzard unit frames.

You had me stumped for a minute before I saw a few key things. The error is not on my end, but on the end of the version of the private server you are playing on. In order to get around this issue, simply add a -- in front of the code on that line. If you don't have a text editor with line numbers, search for "local index = GetRaidTargetIndex("target");" and change it to "--local index = GetRaidTargetIndex("target");"

Perl has a buff mod but in all honesty, it's not very good. I recommend using Elkano's BuffBar. It can be found here: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...fo.php?id=5101

.81 Errors

After just upgrading to 0.81 i noticed some errors spilling into my chat log... didn't take long to figure out it was an event related to the gain\lose of buffs but i have do idea if it's perl or possibly a issue with other mods i'll try to test more... but i'll be using .80 for raiding till i or you can figure this out

i'm using perl arcane and raid addons and a handful of others mod if you think it's an issue with other mods i can post a full list
