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>

Hellfire Peninsula, Zangarmarsh, etc.). When I disable mapbar, it returns. I also can't see quests when I select them in the logbook, but that seems to be caused by mapbar as well. Anyone else running into this or know of a way to fix it without disabling mapbar?

Also, the visibility menu (where u click what bars to be enabled etc) is now gone for some reason and i can also not see the memory usage of the other mods by hovering the mouse over the preformance bar.

Arono1290 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Any possibility of adding these features eventually? I have a bar that is significantly bigger, with less opacity, that sits alongside my MetaHUD so I can see my cooldowns better. My only question is - is it possible to add a modifier that makes the bar actually appear when entering combat? You have a feature that makes the bar change when selecting a friendly target, any possibility for this? In addition, anyway to display numeric cooldowns? I know their are other mods that can probably do this, but I'd rather not want to have to DL a bunch of mods to do something I hope Bongos can one day accomplish. Thanks. Totally awesome mod otherwise.

Ok, I deleted my BongosFu (which was a waste of space anyway). We'll see how it does. Thanks Tuller.

jehdin A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 3 Uploads: 1	Currently I'm using Bongos2 for my Warrior action bars; I have four bars set up with various macros for solo grinding and damage. What I would like to do is have, on keypress or macropress, two of those bars that are heavily hotkeyed, switch to two separate paged bars containing all of my tanking macros and abilities, but using the same hotkeys. When I'm ready to switch back to DPS, I press the key again, and the two pages revert to the DPS/Grind keys. At the moment, I can change the actual pages, but I have to hold down a modifier; say Shift, to access the abilities on the hidden page. This is highly undesirable, as I use Shift for about 2/3 of my keybinds presently. A temp pageflip with a modifier doesnt help me much at all. Any ideas about how I can set this up with Bongos? If there's a way to set the Bongos pageswap keybind, that would be the easiest solution. At the moment, it seems that Bongos has it hard-coded to operate like Blizzard's pageshifts; Alt-1, 2 etc. Again, this is not a viable solution for me, due to how I have my keybinds done. If there's a configuration option that I'm missing that will allow me to bind say, Alt-Arrow, to a specific page switch, or a /script command inherent in Bongos that I could create a macro for, these would be ideal solutions. FE: For clarification, what I set up was stancechanges dependant on the ability I'm using; for instance I have an Overpower macro that looks to see if I'm in Battle Stance, and if not, switches me. Another keypress actually performs the ability. Update: Alright - so I found an interesting behavior on how Bongos uses the default Blizzard keybindings. What I did was enter the configuration mode for my two bars - bar 1 I set to page 1 and 2, and for bar2, page 3 and 4. I set the binding for Action Page 1 to Alt-Down Arrow, and Page 2 to Alt-Up Arrow. When I press these hotkeys, both Bar1 AND Bar2 switch pages; eureka! Now to find a better explanation of how Bongos handled paging, since there's obviously pages in Bar1 that are inaccessible to any other bar! Last edited by jehdin : 07-11-07 at 12:11 PM.

Okay, this isnt much of a bugfix, more like a request that you are in your rights to turn down, but: Could you possibly make some of the bongos options avaible separately for all bars? For example, the "Show Empty Slots Icons" enabled on bar 1 2 3 4 and disabled for 5 and 6. (Or if its already in it, since ive heard bongos got scripting, point me to where i must go and ill do it :x)

Bongos only had scripting for a very short while. After that, blizzard announced the 2.0 changes and I promptly removed the options so people would not get too used to it

I don't intend to add any options to hide empty buttons on a per bar basis. What reason do you need it for?

Clardrian A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 24 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	I would like to know if there are any options for the frame that shows CPU usage stats and addon memory usage in the tooltip other than what's there when you right-click it. Namely, I'm looking for a way to sort the addons in the tooltip by how much memory they're using, because I have so many addons installed, the list only shows like the first half or so of them, and I'd rather just see the ones that are using the most memory, or be able to scroll them up/down so I can see it all.

Ladronia A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Is there a way to have Bongos load a different profile for each of my characters. I have different bar setups for all of my characters, but when I log into one of them it loads the default profile and I have to manually switch to the profile I made for each of the characters. I have a feeling I'm overlooking something, but I'm not sure. Also, I use the RicoMiniMap addon and I like to keep the map flush with the top and right sides of my screen. If I manually move it and lock it, it will stay for the session, but when I log in again, Bongos moves it out from the sides a bit. Is there a way to disable Bongos from taking control of just the Minimap object? Thanks.

The settings says it is on but it is not up.

Well, it works for me. Try out the beta version here and see if it is functioning properly.

Is there any way to enable more info in Spell tooltips?

Go into interface options and make sure that show detailed tooltips is enabled.

Are there any plans to allow for left/right control/alt/shift to be used once the next patch hits? Would be a nice addition. Both for modifier keys and for keybinds.

Yes, once I get a PTR up I'll work on it.

Anyway, my problem is this. Your program works perfect on its own. When I use Supermacros though, to give myself more than the default number of macro slots, it bugs out when I try to add a supermacro to Bongos. The buttons take the icon of the first "actual" macro and fail to function properly. Is there anything you can point me towards (I cannot program LUA but I can try) or make a fix for it in your next version?

As far as I'm aware, super macro was discontinued a while ago.

I've have searched and I have turned off BongosFu. Still the profiles will not stick. Anybody else having these problems? I'm not sure whether to reload Bongos or to move to a different program.

Its really the only thing I'm aware of that may be causing the issue. Doublecheck the addons menu and make sure that BongosFu is unchecked.
