Perl Classic Unit Frames

Version: 10.07

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 I do not support ancient outdated and unmaintained mods.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.

Just means I need to find a real way to simulate the scaling instead of using frames I shouldn't

Re: Party frame scaling problem

Originally posted by Leviathan
Global,
I'm having problem with the scaling of party frame since version 0.67. Currently I'm still using version 0.66. I set the scaling for party frame to 0.8. But when I update to version 0.67 or 0.68, the party frame looks much smaller compared to version 0.66 and shifted up. I haven't tested by removing the saved settings from my WTF folder. Just want to know whether this is a bug or going to be a permanent change.

Anyway.... thanks for the great add-on

Can you humor me and try something? Open up Perl_Party.lua and search for "Perl_Party_Frame:SetScale(unsavedscale);" and change it to "--Perl_Party_Frame:SetScale(unsavedscale);". Please let me know if that fixes this issue.

I haven't added any code to make it work besides the menu restrictions, which probably are overwritten anyway by their code. Just ask them to add it and give them the frame names, Perl_Party_Pet1, Perl_Party_Pet2, Perl_Party_Pet3, Perl_Party_Pet4 are the frame names that they would need I think.

Can you also add the feature to Perl Party Pets? I was in a 5 man earlier and I had to target the pet to heal it instead of just clicking on the pet frame. thanks again Last edited by Vorlon : 05-14-06 at 12:13 AM.

The raid portion does not show buffs at this time since I'm not too sure how to limit the 4 or 5 main buffs to show. On top of that, I don't know if I really want to add 40 people to check buffs on, that's a ton of potential lag that isn't overly needed.

Thanks for the work on this I really appreciate it

That is something going that will need to be handled on AceHeal's side. Unless they give me some code to add in to call the heal function, there's nothing I can do. I posted on their board about any code I need, but I didn't ask about this issue since it wasn't known yet. Perhaps you can add to it on that board

It currently works with PCUF

Thanks - I will test the files

I read that post before doing my changes and I missed the one reply that added PCUF support! Oh well, that certainly makes my life easier in the long run. Anyway, just see if you can get a menu to pop up on the Target frame. If you can, I'll add the code to the rest of the mod and put a release out.

Have it behave that way if it detects it is installed

Last I checked AceHealPerl no longer worked with PCUF. So what I did was went through it and updated all the PCUF frame names and hopefully didn't break anything. I don't use AceHeal so I didn't test it. Also, I tweaked Perl_Target with an AceHeal check to display the menu on the name frame. If you would give these both a try that would be great.
