Pitbull4 + custom group

[Feehza]

Code & Download UPDATED (23.02.2011)
In search for a nice addon which support custom group (if your group splitted up in bgs or raids) i modified my pitbull4 (i dont like grid).
I am a newbie @ lua, but this modifications work for me
Pitbull-Version: v4.0.0-beta25

-----------------------------

You can download the code from here: http://tinyurl.com/y4xspgl (tinyurl, cuz i dont like to be existent for thousand years in searchengines)
You only have to replace the names of your toons in PitBull4\GroupHeader.lua on line 311

-----------------------------

... Or you can edit the pitbull code for yourself:


File: PitBull4\Options\Units.lua
search for:

MAINTANK = L["Main tanks"],

add a line below:

MULTIBOX = L["Multibox"],

-----------------------------

search for:

if start == 'MAINTANK' or start == 'MAINASSIST' then

replace with:

if start == 'MAINTANK' or start == 'MULTIBOX' or start == 'MAINASSIST' then

-----------------------------

for Raid:
1. in pitbull you choose on the left side "groups"
2. create a new group and activate it, call it "multiboxing_raid" or smt
3. set dropdown to "Raid"
4. Choose Tab "Filter" turn on all raid types and set the dropdownbox to "Multibox"


for party only(if you delete the code in options\units.lua i shown above)
1. in pitbull you choose on the left side "groups", call it "multiboxing_party" or smt
2. create a new group and activate it (and: i prefer to disable the playerframe under the menue single units and turn on the playerframe in partymode)
3. set dropdown to "Group"
4. Choose Tab "Filter" turn on group and turn off all raidtypes and set the dropdownbox to "Multibox"


There is 1 problem:
If you form a raid, you wont get an update on multibox filtered raidframe until a player leave, join, switch to another group or you type /reloadui.
But when the raidframes appears no further issues are present.
