Bongos2  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

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

Ok I'm having alot of problems with the stance bars. When on my druid, my #1 bar is my healing spells/buffs, bar #2 is my damage spells and misc, bar #3 is my bear form, #4 is misc for bear form(faerie fire, mangle). Ok, I have bar #1 shifting with bar #3 for bear form, no problem there, however I have bar #2 shifting with bar #4 and for some reason it's not shifting with the bar, it'll shift with a different bar altogether no matter what # I put it on. This is version 1.5 btw. Also on my shadow priest, my bar #1 is my shadow spells, bar #2 for healing spells. When I'm in shadow form when I click the macro to cast a shadow spell, it'll say invalid target like I'm trying to cast a healing spell on the mob. Very annoying.

Great job!

I've used Bartender3 for quite some time due to a friend's recommendation. After hearing so much about Bongos, I tried Bongos2 out of sheer curiosity. (I'm always up for trying something new; if nothing's broken, tweak it!) I love the snap-to feature especially, since it helps me get my bars all neatly lined up. Kudos on making a very nice bar mod that is so simple to configure! I cannot think of anything about it that I would want to change. This is my new bar mod of choice.

Tuller, I meant to post this several days ago but real life conspired against me. I just wanted to say thanks a ton for making the upgrade from Bongos 1 to Bongos 2 relatively painless. You probably don't recall me by name with all the folks posting here, but I was one of the people concerned about how much reconfiguration would need to be done with a dozen different characters.

In practice, it was very little. I'd even been expecting that I would have to set up stance switches again, but blissfully I did not. Key bindings, stances, button positions -- all that transferred with no effort on my part. All I needed to do was fix bar positions and visibility.

So now my stances and paging work again and I'm quite happy. Thanks!

That's omnicc, not bongos. But since I develop both of them /omnicc pulse

Re: Re: I think I found an actual bug!

Anyone else having this issue with the latest version? No matter what character I load, it ALWAYS loads the "default" profile on startup - I see "Bongos Profile Default Loaded" (or something like that) when i log in. I have to go into profiles, and select the profile for that toon, then all is ok.

Bongos does not appear to be able to distinguish between items of the same type with different enchantments. For instance, if I have two headgear items, I can drag them to Bongos bars and use the buttons to switch between them... As long as they have different base types. A druid with Cogspinner goggles of the Bandit (for fighting) and of the Heirophant (for healing), however, can't do this -- both are highlighted in green because they appear to be the item currently being worn. I assume the same thing happens with, e.g., green lenses.
Close, but no cigar. This is the default behavior of the Blizzard bars as well, disable Bongos and check it out. So, it may be a bug, but it's not a Bongos one.

I'm willing to bet that your unit frames are calling the frame creation functions before finishing loading, which causes the tainting issue you're experiencing.
Thanks, Tuller.

Installing the version of Bongos from the 29th causes the Target and Target of Target frames to NOT update in combat. This is something I'm bringing up from personal experience, not just from the comments I provided in my link.

I've personally switched to Bartender...I just wanted to let the author know about these problems.
