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

Could I get a link or something to a detailed response or guide on how to set up druid bars? Shifting to bear form switches the bar fine, but when I go into cat my bar stays as caster. Both the bars that bear and cat switch to are set up in the same way.

Any possibility of getting tooltips to turn on (even when the option is set to not show them) when you hover with a modifier (like shift)?

Or maybe allowing for tooltips to be shown on the pet bar only?

Learn aquatic form.

Let me start by saying that this is the best actionbar addon by far. Thank you for your work! I only have one problem, which I discovered recently as I rolled a druid. What happens is this:

1) I go into combat in caster form.
2) I shapeshift into bear form while still in combat.

At this point, all my bars are suddenly visible (as if I'm in the binding option). They only disappear when I go out of combat. They do not go back to invisible even if I shapeshift back to caster form. The same happens if I start in bear form, go into combat and shapeshift into caster form.

Kind Regards, helpful for your assistance!

Somehow my bag bar and menu bar got detached from the bongos move square that should be associated with it. In other words.. When I unlock my bars and drag the relevant square around.. nothing happens... any solution to that problem?

Same thing happened to me, only it's just my menu bar right now. The menu bar is in the upper left corner of my screen and the menu bar "move square" is in the lower right, where I actually want the menu bar to be. I can click on the move square and get the config options for the menu bar, I just can't move the actual bar.

Edit: Ok, I clicked the "Vertical" check box on the menu bar options and after checking it on and then off again, the menu bar is back where it should be and moves around like it should. It's not really a fix as the menu bar detaches from the move square every time my UI is loaded but it's a decent temporary work-around.

Druid prowl settings

I'm having an issue with Bongos and I'm not sure how to resolve it. It seems to be similar to the problem other people are having, but I'm not sure how to resolve it. What I'm trying to do is this: when I switch to cat form, the main bar switches to cat form as it should. If I hit Prowl while in cat form, the bar switches back to caster. What I want to be able to do is have my cat form bar showing when in prowl instead of the caster bar. I just can't figure out how to do this. I went to the paging screen and tried to add it, but it never showed up in the list - all I had was Bear, Aquatic, and Cat.

How would I go about fixing this? I'm using the latest version of Bongos, and I have learned the aquatic form, so that isn't it. I know this is possible to do, as I've used other bar mods that do it, but I'm just not seeing how to do it here.

Thanks!

Bar Scrolling

Hey man. Absolutely LOVE the mod. Used to use BibMod, but I love this one so much more.

Unfortunately I have a small problem. It's been like this for a while and was hoping it would just be fixed but it hasn't =(

I'm a hunter and I scroll my bars. I have my ranged bar and then when I get to melee range I hold down shift and roll the mouse wheel up to get my second bar which has all my melee skills. I have the paging setup correctly and it switches fine, only problem is it sometimes takes a couple of scrolls to get it to switch. Instead of just a single Shift+Scroll, I have to do it twice. But it doesn't happen every time, which is weird, so that make it very inconsistent, so I don't know whether to scroll once or twice. Kind of annoying because without the mod it switches just fine.

Is there a workaround for this or can this be fixed/added or whatever to the next version? Would love to have it. It's not a big deal yet since I'm still 67, but once I reach 70 I'll have to figure something out since I'll be PvPing and that crucial second of scrolling/double scrolling mix-up can really mean a difference.

Thanks man!

If you really care about speed i highly recommend making a hotkey setup that does not involve having to scroll your action bars.

Green XP Bar

Has anyone had an issue with the Bongos XP bar turning green and no longer tracking XP gains? That's what's happened to mine, on both my toons. I've reinstalled Bongos and cleared the saved variables a few times but the problem persists. Here's a screenshot:

I'm not sure what the fix is, but only one of my charecters is doing the same thing. It's actually tracking one of your reputations instead of XP, for me it is tracking Thrallmar reputation. Any help would be awsome, i've spent an hour trying to figure this out.

Yeah, or I can not use the Mod. It is very efficient... when it works. One quick move and I have all my traps and melee abilities right there without having to CTRL+Key or ALT+Key or whatever crazy combination of buttons you might use.

My number keys, mostly 1-5, are the easiest to get to and the quickest to hit. I'm already using the keys around wasd for certain abilities and I'd like to be able to switch bars effectively, something that the normal WoW Interface can do... and what I might end up having to go back to =/

So in other words, don't knock until you try it

Green XP Bar

Okay got it figured out. You'll laugh at this one. while ingame press 'U', look at all your rep bars, one of them will have a gold checkmark on the left side. select this bar and you'll see the option to "show as experience bar". Uncheck that box and you're back to normal. yay
