Good point on Pitbull. I ended up doing a very complicated DogTag to mimic PerfectRaid and I think that made the performance worse. Fun exercise though

I'll definitely share what I come up with.

is there any way to color people having aggro in red...would be really helpful in instances like mh?

[Cladhaire]

The health already is red when they have aggro.

[Hellekin]

no, sorry, it's not, never worked...any idea, maybe the localisation? german client...should not be the problem i guess. any external needed to get that thing working?

No. Do you not have the aggro module enabled? Open the praid config, and check the box that says to display aggro. There should be absolutely no reason it wouldn't work on your client.

[Hellekin]

it's enabled...

[Cladhaire]

Then it should be running. The player's health deficit will be displayed in red when they have aggro. Assuming the person is at 100% health and has aggro, it will display a red "Aggro" in the place where the health deficit is displayed.

[Hellekin]

nope. i've been using the addon for a very very long time now and never cared for an aggro display til now. i never really missed it though it would be quite useful. no red deficit numbers or bars, no aggro text, nothing. never had it, i swear, so i guess it must have got something to do with the localization...

[Cladhaire]

Do you have "Show HP deficit" checked? If not, the aggro won't display. I should change that in the next revamp.

[Hellekin]

ok, checking the deficit worked...lol
will there be a future option to color the bar in red, if someone gets aggro, i'd really like that, would be much more efficient

[Cladhaire]

I have lots of options I'd like to add, yes.

First I'd like to say a big thank you for putting in the time and energy to creating this mod.

I am a hardcore raider and out of all the raid frames I think this one is the best.

(I do actually still use Discord in it's broken state).


Somethings I would like to see as improvements.

1. For HOT's like lifebloom can you add a small number counter to the players bars at the end to indicate the Stack and a hot timer. something like ..

............
Player1 . Lb3 6 (where 3 = stack count and 6 = seconds left ticking down)
............



Also I've noticed when you are dragging the raid frames around the screen it can lock on the mouse and refuse to unlock. Basically you cannot drop the raid frames once you release the mouse button as a result this forces a reload ui to get your mouse to let go of the frames.


Other than thoses two things I think it's a great mod!



Thanks.

[Cladhaire]

Both known problems that I hope to address. Thanks!

[Santiago]

Hey Clad,
thx for a great mod!

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find it.

I'm having some trouble organising my raid frames on my screen. Is there a way to "see" the frames without being in a raid? I've jumped into AV (to see all the raid frames) to organise my frames, but the frame i'm moving gets stuck to my cursor so that I can't look around - leading to me gettin' killed! I would like to, in peace and quite, be able to place the frames just to my liking... Am I missing something?

Keep up the good work mate!

[Cladhaire]

No, there is no way to do this at the moment.

[Dumbluck]

I was messing around with the display for awhile in AV trying to get the set up like it is on the download page. Is there a special setting for this?

[Cladhaire]

No, you just set up eight different groups, and place them where you want them to be.

[Sarrig]

Hey Cladhaire!

First of all I want to say biig thanks for all of your mods! Especially Perfect Raid - I just cannot imagine using any other raidframes - ever again. :-)


So, I know you are wayyy busy right now - but pleaseplease, update the mod (I think it is basically the pally blessings/hands that need to be checked). Perfect raid is soo perfect wins pittbulls, grids..everything.

Kudos for a really great work!

[Cladhaire]

If you could post any of the specific issues you are having, that would be useful for when I get a chance to sit down and work on it.

Using r182 I hope that's the latest, wowinterface is getting hammered so it's hard to check;

Under the options menu there was only 2 tabs, aggro and buffs/debuffs iirc.
Whenever someone would die or go offline, their health would stop updating, it would just show the 'dead' or 'offline' text on the bar.
Also if people were joining the raid/moving groups it would show a health deficit where there was none.

Doing a /reloadui fixed the problems though. I hope these help, gl with the updating.
