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.

First bar I have set up for my casting ie; moonfire, starfire, etc. I have clicked: Caster, Aquatic, Travel, Moonkin/Tree of life, Flight, and Page 2. I have docked with that (just to start off with cause I can't for the life of me get the shapeshifting to work with this mod), bar 2 is my catform. With that I have checked; cat and I have it docked with bar one. Now in theory according to your vague directions with this mod, when I click catform, it should shapeshift to my bar with my catform buttons, but it doesn't. I need help.

You got it mostly right. Make it so bar 1 is set to not show in cat/bear form, and for the docked page to show in only the feral form.

Arcana A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 16 Uploads: 2	Displaying a bar at the same time as docking it There was a feature from v6 of Bongos that didn't make it to v7 of Bongos that I used. Let me try to explain this as best as I can. QUICK SUMMARY: I am wondering if it's possible to restore the ability to display each of the docked bars in other locations of the screen, while still maintaining the bar-swapping functionality when you change stances. In Bongos 6, you could display a bar somewhere on the screen, but also have it replace another one so it could be activated by another set of hotkeys. DETAILS IN CASE THE SUMMARY ISN'T CLEAR: I use 8 rectangular bars, with 15 buttons each. I arrange four of them in 5 col x 3 row patterns at the bottom of my screen (they visually correspond with my Nostromo n52). The "dock" in the lower-left corner is my major function bar, controlled by my left hand and I set my stances to it - Caster (1), Cat (2), and Bear (3). To the right of the main dock, I have a bar that I active with my Nostromo's BLUE state that I call the BLUE bar (4). To the right of the BLUE bar is a RED bar (5). To the right of the red bar is a bar that I click on with the mouse (MOUSE bar, 6). I also have a floating block for a GREEN state (7) and a set on the right hand side of the screen for professions (8). Got all of that? Now, since I don't have enough bars, I double the RED bar (5) as a Prowl bar. I put three buttons for pouncing. Now, the problem is as follows. In Bongos 6, I set up the bars such that the Prowl bar would display in Position 1 (on the now-called dock), but would also remain in the RED bar position at the bottom of my screen. I don't remember the exact configuration settings I did to set this up, but it was definitely possible. However, with Bongos 7, if I want to use a Prowl bar, I have to drag the RED bar (5) on top of the Dock, and then set it to show only when Prowling. However, when I'm NOT prowling, I can no longer display Bar 5 in its original position at the centre of my screen. Anything you can tell me to get this kind of configuration again? P.S. My keybindings don't save, either. P.P.S. Thank you for writing such a wonderful, configurable mod. Last edited by Arcana : 01-10-07 at 02:51 AM.

Isoliat A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 7 Uploads: 0	glitch I am liking the adaptability of this mod, but I have this problem, which took me a while to single out. I knew that something was causing the keybindings not to work, and found that if I opened my inventory with a hotkey, then changed a piece of equipment out by right-clicking it, then closed the inventory, the keybindings stopped working. If I logout, then back in, they work until I open my inventory and move something around, then shut down. I'm sure this isn't the only thing that's causing the glitch, but it is a specific instance. Hope it helps. Another thing that I discovered: If I open the Bongos options menu, add a keybinding, and close it, the keybindings don't work. If I change something, anything, apparently, in Blizzard's keybindings menu, whether it be what key makes you jump, etc., Bongos'll let me use one keybinding properly, i.e., summon a dreadsteed, and then shuts em all down again. Also, I cleaned out the bindings-cache.wtf file, disabled all other addons, and performed the experiment several times, so it isn't a compatability problem, and the fix posted earlier in the forum didn't work. Great mod, just sucks I can't use it.

Fingolfin_SS A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 11 Uploads: 0	Downloaded today's version of Bongos and when I log on all the key bindings work and the bars are in the correct position except all i can see of the bars is the borders to each button but nothing showing which skill is being used per button. In some cases its not empty but just black. I tried reverting to yesterdays version which obviously reset all my positions and key bindings but it didn't fix the no picture problem. Do you know if there will be a quick fix for this or should i revert to the old bongos for now? edit: Now i'm not sure if its Bongos or just Blizz. Icons have disappeared not only from action bars but also from my skills page, talents page and my bags. For a second i thought my epic mounts had been deleted. Put my cursor over them to check and they were still there just without the pic Wipes sweat from brow edit2: I've been reading ElitistJerks forum and it seems to be a problem people are having even when not using Bongos. Someone mentioned its been happening a lot on Beta and it generally happens when you tab out like i do on the char loading screen. Last edited by Fingolfin_SS : 01-10-07 at 08:10 AM.

Sorry to hear that. I'll tell you now though that every bar mod out there has issues, just as Bongos does. Bar mods are quite complicated, and thus there's alot of chance for bugs.

Tuller:
7.1.10 works much better than the previous 7x versions. Profiles seem to load (for me at least) as they should.

1. Keys can be bound, though it took a UI reload to get the keybindings to stick (before the reload, sometime a key would simply refuse to be bound, without producing any errors or such), while other times the key I wanted to bind would activate an action instead of binding.

2. Keybindings, however, don't work reliably once bound. I don't know if it has anything to do with moving items within my bags as mentioned by someone else below, but the bindings work for a while, and then simply stop.

Getting better though!

Azzikai A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	A little bit of an explanation of my set up for my Druid: I have bar 1 at the bottom with bar 2 then bar 5 on top of that. Bars 2 and 5 I have set to always show (they have trinkets and other general spell crap on them). Bar 3 is set for Bear only, Bar 4 for Cat - both of these bars replace bar 1 when I switch forms (so that part works fine). Bar 1 has had its buttons bound to keys 1 through =. These key bindings are working fine as of right now (granted I haven't played for more than 40 minutes). Bar 3 (Bear) and Bar 4 (Cat) should share the same bindings as Bar 1 but they are not. I have tried shifting forms, binding a key then re-loading the UI and it won't stick. I am, though, no longer getting the "you can't use this ability while shapeshifted" message so that, at least, is a small victory. Hopefully this gets fixed soon

Arcana A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 16 Uploads: 2	For people who are having problems with Docking and stances... I've found, at least on my computer, that if you set stances with a particular bar (ex: Bar 1), then drag and drop it into another bar, you'll lose your stance settings for Bar 1 and need to Right-click and reset them again. You'll notice that if you drag and drop Bar 1 onto something else, the Bar 1 tab says, "Unused".

lossolsun A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 7 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Losing Keybindings I just came over to Bongos after Trinity went bonkers on me with the patch yesterday. However, I'm really about to leave due to the keybinding issue. I don't know if this is what is happening to everyone else, but when I feign death, all of my keybindings that Bongos setup stop working. The keybinding still shows on the actionbar, but nothing happens when I push the key. All of my non-actionbar keybindings still work just fine, and even my pet bar, which is Bongos. That's the only way I've been able to reproduce this bug. I used to use Discord until 2.0, and I'm really liking Bongos other than this one bug that is driving me away.
