Bongos2

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 believe /bgn or /bng is taken by Bagnon and /bo could be misconstrued as an emote informing someone they have B.O. (body odor). Just go with /bong - you know you want to... __________________ Peace & God Bless, $muvMoney John 14:27 & Numbers 6:24

Tuller A Warpwood Thunder Caller Forum posts: 91 File comments: 1740 Uploads: 17	Bongos and 1.12 In 1.12, Blizzard included a little surprise for me, battlegrounds chat. Battlegrounds chat is used via /bg, so I now have to figure out a new short slash command for bongos, else people will have to type /bongos for all slash commands. My initial plan is to now call the addon either Bongos Object Bars (/bob), or Bongos Action Bars (/bab). The rationale for calling it BOB would be that I'm thinking about making more parts of the interface, like the Minimap, movable. Anyway, I'm open to name suggestions

Andrek A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Thank You First, thanks for this simple bar mod. I had been playing around w/ DAB and it's just got too many options. Second, not sure this is a bug, or just something I did, but on my main, I set up the various bars, saved the profile, and set about playing an alt. As I started the alt, I noticed that the "main" and "bag" menus don't show. I tried loading the profile I previously saved - nope. I unlocked the bars and the oddest thing happens, I can see the "menu" and "bar" titles, but no bar. I'm not sure what I've done, but no matter what I try (hiding/unhiding, locking/unlocking, etc.) I cannot get the two bars to show although their titles will show. I wish I could log on this morning and check my main as I have not been able to confirm if the same thing is happening there. I think I may have figured out my problem - the alpha settings of both bars. While perusing the .lua file, I discovered that the alpha was set to "0." I'll try fixing this when the servers come back up. The alpha setting was the problem. I increased the alpha to where I like it and reloaded the UI and all is well.

Simply, sometimes after dying, the bars stick in place. Only thing that fixes it is a /console reloadui. I suspect when shapeshifted (bars switch positions), or with the bars otherwise "paged" - so also by having the button pressed down at that moment.

I'm using Bongos all this time now, and it really is a minor, minor problem. Not to mention it is the ONLY problem (not even a Bongos problem, but Bongos + PoP), and I'm completely loving Bongos. Thanks again!

Yes, it's not really a Bongos issue, but this is an interesting functionality. I feel like it may be in issue with Paging a Paged bar. I'll look into it more either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Pretty please, Turn Page on Press. Like Gypsy? I'm still stuck with Gypsy, for a year and a half already now. Buttonpressdown...topple bars. Buttonpressup (release), topple back.

Any remote chance this will ever be in Bongos? Please?

[edit] I got Cladhaire's old PageOnPress to work with this. I am soooo happy right now. Thank you for the nicest, cleanest action bars I ever saw. And I've had them all, searching for good, lightweight bars that could TPoP. 18 months, and finally, a new bar mod. Thanks again!!

[edit] Well, something had to go wrong, ofcourse. This combo doesn't like dying much. Messes up the bars. Have to fiddle... Getting it in Bongos would be sooo good.

Maahe:

I'm new to PageOnPress (v 1.1 found on Curse) and aren't really used to it, but I've been testing this out to try to replicate your problem. What exactly messes up with your bars? What key to you have it bound to? If it's shift I can see a problem where your bars would flip unless you've changed that keybinding, and if it your quickmove binding I can see that as well.

I haven't had any issues with it yet, passive, buffing, macros, or in combat.

Tivoli's code is notorious for this. He actually overrides the default UI behavior for the unlock process. The version of Nurfed you use is required to show you the way to undo this.

i used this mod for a long time till the last 2 version started to use up 10 + megs of ram not sure if the code changed or its its on blizzards end but i went from 15 megs used to 25-30 megs ( all other addons have been updated )

Are you sure its a Bongos issue? I did notice my memory usage went up around the time of the patch, but it was because of the blizzard raid UI loading at startup. Take a look at MiniBlizzRaid to fix that problem.

BRM A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 26 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Thank you for adding /bg toggle. I was having to use a long macro you helped me with, great to now have this. Is it possible to script the toggle to appear when health/mana is less than or equal to say 40%. Can this be done, any ideas? Thank you.
