Bongos Cornucopia

Version: Cornucopia 0.14

by: jaliborc [More]

Introduction

Bongos Cornucopia is the successor of Bongos Skinned Map. It adds many extra Bongos bars to your interface. Some bars are really simple, others are highly customizable.
Hardcore users may be glad to know that, besides Bongos Cornucopia being divided into several addons, most of them are modular.
Please always use the newest Bongos 3 version to prevent bugs!

Included Addons

Bongos Durability: A movable and customizable armor durability bar
Bongos Clock: A simple and movable clock
Bongos Coords: Movable coordinates system
Bongos Minimap: An highly customizable minimap
Bongos PvP: BG and Capture bars
Bongos Quests: Movable and customizable quest watch and timer bars with quest levels and other features
Bongos Reputation: A separated reputation bar
Bongos Tooltip: A simple movable tooltip
Bongos ZoneMap: Makes the zone map movable as a Bongos bar

How can I live without my Bongos Minimap?

jaliborc... could you, would you, do you have plans for a Dominos Cornucopia?

Unfortunately, I still have no idea about what I'm going to do.
I really wasn't expecting that Tuller would dump Bongos.

Well, it looks like Dominos does have modules now..

However it only has a rollbar, a movable castbar, and that's it.

It would be awesome to have the same improvements that you originally had for Bongos2:

* Dominos Skinned Map
* Dominos Quest Bar
* Dominos Durability
* Dominos BG
* Dominos ZoneMap (ok this was Bongos3, but still handy!)

The thing that keeps me using Bongos2 and your Skinned Map package is that one selection of addons lets me get a working interface from scratch, and very quickly.

I don't know if you want to go forward with development or not, but I'm sure a lot of us would appreciate a Dominos variant!

Thanks for all your work.

firestrife23 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Suggestions @Jaliborc maybe you can rewrite cornucopia for dominos, and add features such as exp/rep bar which tuller stripped from dominos, etc or take over bongos3 roll out your own? similar to fan updated release of original version but with some added feature. At least bongos is licensed under open source BSD similar to GPL, http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php I don't get it, why would Tuller abandon such a great addon, and start over from ground to up for next generation action bar.... wtf.

Those are the 2 options I see right now: or I adapt Cornucopia for Dominos, or I create my own addon. But I will never take over Bongos: I can inspire that addon with Bongos, but I don't appreciate taking over other people creations.

I also have many questions and opinions about this "start over", but I think it's not appropriate to discuss other authors' decisions.

Dominos is much cleaner, and lightweight. I suspect you'll have no trouble porting it over to cornucopa ;-) Last edited by firestrife23 : 07-12-08 at 11:59 AM.

Dear Jaliborc, I hope you consider adapting Cornucopia to the new Dominos mod for purposes too obvious to state. Many people use your mod for it's many additional modular features and would appreciate---no, idolize you if you did not discontinue your amazing work. Please consider this! :O Long-time user, first time replier, Darkon

I ensure you that leaving Cornucopia is not one my plans for the future. I've not been updating my mods because I'm working on something HUGE... And big projects take much time when its an "one men job". XD

I expect to upload a beta version soon at it is at an advanced evolution state.

Shakudo A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Bongos Cornucopia for Dominos? At first I'd like to say that I'm a big fan of Cornucopia. But Tuller has stopped the development of Bongos there will be no future for Bongos Cornucopia. So the question is. Will there any Version of Cornucopia for Dominos? It would be very nice cause I'm planing to switch from Bongos to Dominos and I'll gonna to miss Cornucopia if there would be no Version for Dominos. greetz Shakudo PS: I'm sorry about my bad english Edit: I'm sorry that I'm not the first guy with that idea and that I annoy you with the same request like the others.

Any news on your "HUGE" project? As a fan of Bongos Cornucopia and Scrap, really interested to see what else you come up with.

I can ensure you that Scrap and Cornucopia are my main priorities right now. However, I think I didn't explain myself as I wanted to in my last post. Yes, I'm working on something HUGE, but it's not the successor of Cornucopia.
I didn't want to release any details until the project is operational, but it is almost ready (Finally!) and as I know you're a long time user... here it goes.
Do you know what libraries are? Have you ever heard of Ace3? Well, if you know, read the long answer, which should be quite enlightening. If you don't, you will have to stick with the short one.

Short Answer (for the average user): I'm working in something really complicated, that is totally necessary to apply my ideas for Cornucopia's successor and should be useful for my other mods or even other addon's authors.

Long Answer (for authors, coders, advanced users,...): I really needed a library that could allow me to easily create options for Cornucopia, but couldn't find any one that could fill my needs. Even AceConfig3 was too inflexible and didn't look like Blizzard default interface. So, I decided to create my own.
My objectives are to create an extremely versatile library that is easy to use, not only by users and addon's authors, but also for who wants to create his own menu types, layouts, or even widgets! I plan to start using it on Scrap first (that's how I'm going to get rid of the dropdown menu) and see how it runs. When it is 100% functional, I will finally go for Cornucopia.

I hope I've been clear enough. If something is not well written/explained, my apologies, because I'm not a native English speaker.

While I'm not an author myself (if I could ever make myself sit down long enough to teach myself), I do like how Ace authors have a number of libraries to help write addons, as well as integrate with others and the game. I'll keep an eye out and when you do release, I'll provide any beta testing help you might still need. Thanks __________________

That would be definitively helpful.

You can count me in on testing it as well. I will do whatever I can to help get the new Cornucopia out the door!

jaliborc A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 196 File comments: 329 Uploads: 20	The library is working. I will release it at WoWAce an, then, I will make a "closed beta" for testing it on Scrap. EDIT: Now on AceForums. I will start developing the "closed beta" soon as Sushi-1.0 becomes fairly stable. Last edited by jaliborc : 10-22-08 at 12:07 PM.
