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

I put all my ranged abilities on Bar 1 and all of my Melee abilities on Bar 2. Then, just hid Bar 2. I'm all set.

RangeHelp simply does a page switch. Since Bongos can mimic the default Blizzard pages, it works fine.
I'll give it a try and see how it works. Thanks for the tip. (Although, lately I've been just using HunterSpam when I hit melee range. Lazy, I know, but it works, heh.)

Re: Bongos + RangeHelp = Great

As a side note: I think it's crap I now have to add another addon to get the Cooldown timers back. I noticed they weren't there when I played after the change and came here to say something about the bug. Then I see it was intentional. /frown
It was split off because the code works for all bar mods.

Simply not true. I use RangeHelp and Bongos with no issues. My bars switch just fine.
As a hunter it was a required ability for me to use Bongos.

Question Bongos Options pops up on login

Not sure if to report as a bug or just something messed up on my end. so Ill check here first.
On initial login from a WoW restart the Bongos Options GUI pops up. I close it, on log out and back in, it will not repop. Ok, and if I log out and back in to another character that I havent been on in this session the window will pop.
Not a show stopper by far, but just a little odd.

@ Tazmanyak -

You know, I agree, except in this instance. Mods that change bars based on range/context/shapeshift form/stance/etc don't work with Bongos... Bongos will have to have an integrated feature that handles that sort of thing.

I hate overly bloated mods that try to do 'everything'. They have one feature that's great and six other features that you don't want or need, and can't be separated. That's one of the (many) reasons that Tuller's mods are so outstanding. They do what they do, they do it well, and they are entirely modular. If you don't want a particular feature, you can just yank out that part of the mod entirely. I use every mod Tuller released... Even dumped MiniGroup2 for Sage just recently.

Anyhow, my point is: I suspect that whatever Tuller decides to do, it'll be slick, modular, and easy to configure and remove if unwanted.

Yeah, I sure did. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. Well, sort of - The range indicator (range/melee/dead zone) works - But I always hide that, anyhow. The important part, that being the ability to switch between bars, does not. To be sure I wasn't mistaken, I even tried it with only those two mods enabled, using a 'fresh' WTF folder for testing purposes, still no go.

I think Bongos must stay simple ...
I love bongos because it's light, easy to configure.

If something is added, it will become heavy, hard to configure, and it will no longer be bongos, but another Hard-bars addon

As a feral druid, i would love a way to toggle bars when i go prowl.
But another addon do it, and bongo stay light, other than druids don't need this feature ... so it's nice like that, doesn't it ???

Thanx for your work Tuller, keep on doing that great job ^^

Hunters...

I was thinking... You know what would be great? If you could set up contextual paging based on range, for hunters. I love Bongos enough that I left behind one of my favorite mods for it, called RangeHelp. It switches between bars depending on the current range of your target. (Good for hunters since within 8 yards, none of their ranged attacks can be used)

RangeHelp only works with the default bars, so I can't use it with Bongos, but the easy configurability of Bongos made me stick with it. I really miss having the auto switching bars, though, because it helps me save space. What do you think?

infowars,

to make a bar vertical, use the rows slider. 12 rows=1 vertical bar!

Great job!! I had 2 ideas for features and never had to post them, you got them in this version. This mod has become my goto solution for all my characters.
