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 I do not support ancient outdated and unmaintained mods.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.

red lightning bolts!

I do not have ctraid nor ctmod or anything of that sort, however I see the old health bars with the red lightning bolts when I'm in a raid group. They don't appear in a normal party unless I add/remove the party background in the options interface menu. Just fyi. Otherwise, awesome mod =)

Okay do what Deymus said and logout/login if it isn't working.


Todo
------
- All: Make a gui for the options
- All: Add transparency controls
- CombatDisplay: Add target info as a toggleable option
- CombatDisplay: Add druid mana when morphed
Are the pictures/portraits part of the unit frames? I remember former ver. had potraits but I don't see the option. And also I recall /perl options opening a gui.

Anyways, thanks a <<million>> for updating this mod. <3<3<3

@Deymus: Thanks for the heads up. I remember reading about this elsewhere but I got lost in the gui and forgot to add this fix in.

@Gaean: You used Nymbia's Perl before. It's a slightly different spin on the Perl theme. Nymbia's Perl and this version have nothing in common except the borders really. I used the original Perl mod as a base and only brought it up to speed with the game and some better programming practices. This mod does not and will not contain portraits. The options command for this mod is simple "/perl" as of version 0.29.

Good job, honestly...
Love the add-on, one thing I noticed is that I see buffs sorta overlapping the party interface. Other than that I see no issues, love the work that was put into with the new gui

Can you elaborate on the buff overlapping issue? I have never seen this before on the party frame.

I see party buff when the UI comes up, and I see the same buffs like mirrored slightly above in the frame. They dont move with the frame either they are stuck on the screen.

I've heard of this before and it's been caused by CTMod everytime. Try disabling CT_PartyBuffs. If that isn't it, then you have another mod that tweaks the buffs for the default ui.

There's no command to set the size, but you can change it by hand in the XML files. Open up the file for whichever mod you want to modify and then search for the following:

<!-- Class Icon -->

The size is right underneath that and you can tweak to your heart's content. Hope that helps.

Missing party frame

Hi,

I think someone has raised this issue before.
Sometimes my party frame is not displayed even though I'm in party. This is mostly happen after I'm zoning. Everytime this happen, I have to change the display setting of the party frame before change back to the previous setting.
