Bongos2  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.10.1
by: Tuller [More]

I have written a new action bar addon, called Dominos, and am no longer supporting this one. Please feel free to try it out, along with Trinity Bars, and Bartender 3


Bongos is an action bar replacement designed to be both low memory, and easy to setup. It is not as feature rich as other bar mods, but should include the features most commonly used.

Version History
A Brief Guide

Included Addons

  • Bongos2: The core addon.
  • Bongos2 ActionBar: Breaks up the main action bar into movable parts
  • Bongos2 Stats: A display for latency, framerate, and memory usage
  • Bongos2 RollBar: Makes the frame for rolling on items movable
  • Bongos2 CastBar: A movable casting bar, with the ability to show cast time
  • Bongos2 XP: A movable experience bar
  • Bongos2 MapBar: A movable mapbar
  • Bongos2 Options: A dynamically loaded options menu for Bongos

Features
  • Every Bongos bar can be moved, hidden, and have its scale and opacity altered
  • Sticky bars - Each bar can be anchored to any other bar
  • 120 action buttons, which can be setup in any number of bars
  • Both macro and key binding text on action buttons can be hidden
  • Customizable stance transitions for each bar

General Settings
  • To bring up the options menu: type /bongos menu
  • To unlock bars: uncheck the lock bars option in the main options menu
  • To hide or show a bar: unlock bars, then middle click or shift right click it
  • To move a bar: unlock bars, and then click and drag it with the left mouse button
  • To bring up a bar's configuration menu, right click it

Key Bindings
  • Bindings for the Bongos action bar should only be done via the bindings menu in Bongos
  • To bind keys, open the main options panel, and select the bindings option. Hover over a button, then press a key to bind it to that button

Action Bar Settings
  • Accessing general action bar options: open up the main options window (/bongos menu) and select the action bars panel
  • Adjusting the layout of a given bar: unlock bars and right click the bar you want to adjust to bring up its configuration menu
  • Moving buttons: Hold down the key for moving buttons (shift by default), and drag a button. Alternatively, unlock button positions by shift right clicking the mini map button, or unchecking the option in the main options menu
  • Making a bar bigger: You can increase the maximum size of a given bar by reducing the number of action bars. To do so, adjust the action bars slider on the action bar panel of the main options menu. This option will reset the settings of your action bars

Stances and Paging
  • Stances and paging are configured via a bar's right click menu. With bars unlocked, right click the bar you want to change,

Slash Commands
  • All commands start with either /bongos, /bob, or /bgs
  • <barList> can have a possible value of an actionbar number, menu, bags, pet. class, or all
  • You can also specify a group or range of bars, the command /bo scale 1-3 class 1.2 will scale action bars 1 2 3, and the class bar to 120% of their normal size.
  • /bongos - Shows the options menu, if present
  • /bongos lock - Toggles locking bars positions
  • /bongos show <barList> - Shows <barList>
  • /bongos hide <barList> - Hides <barList>
  • /bongos toggle <barList> - Toggles <barList>
  • /bongos scale <barList> <scale> - Sets the scale of <barList> to <scale>
  • /bongos setalpha <barList> <opacity> - Sets the opacity of <barList> to <opacity>
  • /bongos set <profile> - Sets the current character to use <profile>
  • /bongos copy <profile> - Copies all settings from <profile>
  • /bongos delete <profile> - Deletes <profile>
  • /bongos reset - Loads default settings
  • /bongos version - Displays what version of bongos you're running
  • /keybound - Toggles keybinding mode

You're not running the latest version of Bongos (I can tell by the line number of the error)

I think something like a key modifier would work fine... maybe have a tooltip appear to show how to use that feature to make it simple.
I'll look into it for the 1.10.x versions.

Updating new spells generates error

Running latest available versions on each of these:
Bongos2 version: 1.9.5.
Bagnon
Perl classic
Sellfish
Cartographer

When ever I train a new updated version of a spell I already know I get an error message.
I've been trying to trap it on a taint log but for some reason I can't seem to get the log to work.
The pop up error reads interface\AddOns\Bongos2_ActionBar\action Bar\button.lua:585: GetSpellName(): Invalid spell slot
It doesn't seem to be causing any problems with game play but it's very annoying. This same error is showing up on my husbands completely separate computer with his account as well.
This seems to mostly happen when I am training an update of a known spell but it has also happened when I trained a new profession skill level. That is - Journeyman to Artisan cook and so on.

Bug - Bongo and the default Keybinding

Bongo2 version: 1.9.5.
WoW 2.3
Also running Xperl, Scrolling Combat Text

My girlfriend and I are playing on the same computers with different accounts. She uses Bongos, but I am not (I am using the default Interface from WoW).

The problem is that Bongo, once used, delete all the default Action bar's Keybinding from the Keybinding menu of every characters on the same server.

Wich means that if I create a new character and forget to disable Bongo before entering with it, or if she disable Bongo for one or a few of her characters (like her bank), we will have to remake all our keybindings again. This is quite a problem, since I completely rebinded every key of the 3 main action bars (the main, the bottom right and the bottom left ones).

This happened with every version of Bongos2 she used (she use it since march 2007), and this had never happened when she was using Bartender: uppon disabling Bartender, the keybindings was always as we did set it in the default WoW Keybindings before. So it is obviously a problem from Bongo itself.

It only disable the default Keybinding, not the character specific one. And it only disable the keybinding of every characters on the same server. It has no effect on characters on other servers.

p.s. sorry, english isnt my primary language

I'm having troubles with paging. Can someone explain how to switch page? Bar 1 is configured to switch to various bar by default, so I'm sure I only miss the right button to push, but I can't find it. And there is no option to configure it.

I would like to be able to easily respec between resto and feral druid. I was wondering if there was a way in Bongos to save different bars so that for example, Mangle shows up as ActonBar1,Button3 automatically when I am specced feral, even though it is blank when I am specced healing. and vice versa .

Any thoughts/hints for me?
Thanks

With 2.3 the WoW Tech forums are just cluttered with FPS drop posts, and some of them are illuding to Bongos as being one of the sources. I haven't had time to test without Bongos, etc ... but I was just wondering if you knew about this, and/or had an plans to deal with it?

Sorry I don't have more to offer like a link to a specific post, but the tech forums are a jumbled mess and I couldn't find info there if I was Sherlock Holmes.

Thanks, and sorry for the strangeness of this comment, but any feedback you have would be appreciated!
The first released 2.3 version of Bongos (1.9.2) had significant FPS issues with the buff and debuff highlighting code. All newer versions have this issue fixed.
