Bazooka

Bazooka is a Data Broker Display similar in functionality and looks to FuBar.

Featrue highlights

Top/Bottom alignment or free moving of bars.
Left-click drag moves, right-click drag resizes the bar (unless the frames are locked).
Drag-and-drop plugin placement with highlighted drop positions.
Configurable background / font / icon size.
The usual options for data broker displays (show text/icon/label, optionally show title in place of label if it's missing).
Support of iconCoords and icon[RGB] (TomTom arrow, for example).
Left / Center-Left / Center / Center-Right / Right placement position for plugins within bars, allowing easy layout of plugins. Plugins placed in the Center area are centered as a bunch.
Optional auto-fade while in combat / out of combat.
Optionally disable mouse / tooltips.
Optional simple tooltips (just show title if Alt is held while moving the mouse pointer over the plugin).
Optional highlight on mouseover for the active plugin.
Load-on-demand configuration options, small memory footprint for "standard" operation.

Usage

Getting started

Create new bars from the main options window
Drag plugins to desired location
Drag plugins off bars to disable them

Slash commands

/bazooka - open configuration
/bazooka locked - toggle locked/unlocked state

Perks

Multiple bars attached to the same position (Top/Bottom) presently overlap. This is probably not what most people expect. You need to position the second bar manually under the first one if you need multiple Top/Bottom bars using the Tweak anchor positions settings.

Options

Global options

Locked

Toggles locking/unlocking the frames. In locked state you can't drag the bars or the plugins.

Enable simple tooltips

Enables using a simplified tooltip while holding down the Alt key. This tooltip overrides the plugin-supplied one with just the plugin title. Useful to find out what addon provides the feed/launcher if it doesn't provide a tooltip of its own.

Adjust frames

Toggle adjusting blizzard frames to make room for top/bottom bars.

Enable highlight

Enable highlighting of current plugin (that would receive mouse clicks).

Fade-out delay

The delay before a bar fades after the mouse leaves its frame.

Fade-out duration

The length of the fade-out animation.

Fade-in duration

The length of the fade-in animation.

Create new bar

You guessed it, it creates a new bar.

Bar options

Attach point

Set the attach point of the bar, possible values:
Top: attach to top of screen
Bottom: attach to bottom of screen
None: do not attach, the bar can be dragged to a place you like

Strata

Adjust the bar's strata.

Fade in combat

Enable fade-out while in combat.

Fade out of combat

Enable fade-out while out of combat.

Disable mouse in combat

Disable the mouse for the bar while in combat, making it click-thru. Doesn't apply to individual plugins shown in the bar.

Disable mouse out of combat

Disable the mouse for the bar while out of combat, making it click-thru. Doesn't apply to individual plugins shown in the bar.

Fade opacity

Set how much the bar should fade if Fade in combat or Fade out of combat is enabled.

Left spacing

Spacing between plugins positioned on the left side (Left area).

Right spacing

Spacing between plugins positioned on the right side (Right area).

Center spacing

Spacing between plugins positioned in the center (Center-Left, Center and Center-Right areas).

Icon-text spacing

Spacing between the icon and text of the plugins.

Font

The font used to display plugin texts.

Font size

Set the font size.

Font outline

Specify font outline.

Icon size

The size of the icon (shown to the left of the text if the plugin provides it).

Label color

Color to use to display the label provided by the plugin.

Text color

Color to use to display the plugin text.

Suffix color

Color to use to display the suffix string (if the plugin provides its text as value, suffix).

Opacity

Opacity to use for the plugin icon and text.

Frame height

The height of the bar.

Frame width

The width of the bar (only available if the bar is not attached to top/bottom).

Fit to content width

Fit the bar's width to match the size of the contents it displays (only available if the bar is not attached to top/bottom)

Enable background

Enable background options for the bar.

Background texture

Texture to use as the bar's background.

Border texture

Texture to use as the bar's border.

Background color

Color to use to tint the background texture. Note: not all background textures can be tinted, for example "Blizzard Dialog" is black, so tinting has no effect.

Background border color

Color of the border.

Tile background

Toggle tiling the background texture.

Background tile size

The size of the tiles (if Tile background is enabled).

Border thickness

The edge size used for the border texture.

Tweak anchor positions

Manually adjust the left/right/top/bottom anchor positions. It is useful if there's a small gap between the top of the screen and the top bar (due to some strange rounding wow does, or when using some of the border textures), or if you want to have several bars under each other but still have them attached to the top/bottom.

Plugin options

Enabled

Enable/disable the plugin.

Show icon

Toggle display of the icon provided by the plugin.

Show label

Toggle display of the label provided by the plugin.

Show title

Use plugin title as label if Show label is enabled but the plugin doesn't provide a label.

Show text

Toggle display of the text provided by the plugin.

Hide tooltip on click

If enabled, clicking the plugin hides the plugin's tooltip immediately.

Disable tooltip

Disable tooltip for this plugin.

Disable tooltip in combat

Disable tooltip for this plugin while in combat.

Disable mouse in combat

Disable the mouse for the plugin while in combat, making it click-thru.

Disable mouse out of combat

Disable the mouse for the plugin while out of combat, making it click-thru.

Shrink threshold

Set a threshold to specify the minimum size difference before the size of the plugin is shrunk, useful to reduce "jitter" caused by small text changes.

Bar

Select which bar should display the plugin.

Area

Select the area to place the plugin within the bar.

Hello,

First off, the Bazooka_Options module shouldn't even be loaded if you never open the config menu. After loading, it might create some new objects as new plugins are registered, maybe that's what you see. Another possible cause would be that some other addon is using the same libraries (AceGUI for example) that happen to get loaded from Bazooka_Options, and thus their memory usage gets added to Bazooka_Options (it's a limitation of the WoW profiling API).

Try doing the experiment with no other addon running (preferably with some profiling addon that doesn't use AceGUI stuff

cheers,

It's not entirely impossible, although it would involve extending the LDB spec with data suitable for bar-style display, and adding support for this in LDB data sources (lilke, Broker_XP) and implementing the display option for those in Bazooka (Bazooka itself will never have "integrated" stuff, like TitanPanel, it's just an LDB display).

That said, I don't see that many uses for bar-style data display in LDB displays, so it doesn't seem to worth the effort.

Do you have any other values you'd think would benefit from a bar style display?

cheers,
mitch
