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>
/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>

astalavista A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 53 Uploads: 0	I play a warrior and have set up stances, with battle stance on bar 1, defensive on bar 7 and berserk on bar 8. I ran LBRS yesterday and I do a lot of stance switching. Every time I switch stances, I get hit by lag, freezing my character for the vital seconds I need, for example to place an Execute when I switch from def to battle stance. I've set up the stances with 1 - 1, and the according pages, and really have no clue what I could do to stop the lag. That's the first time I ever noticed it, but it's worrisome, because I stance-dance a lot.

So I thought WOOT - it's working. I then switched to my main on same server and attempted to organize the individual items in each of the action bars and again, on that toon, I could not get the "Cntrl" and left click of the mouse to grab the spell/attack icon and drag it to the action bar I wanted..... hmmmmm will try some of my other toons.... see which have this possible "bug" I'm thinking now.....

Any other help.... pass it on...... :-)

Doing that will allow you to drag spells and stuff around.

I used to hit "Shift" and right click the mouse and drag a spell/emote/attack item to a new bar....

So, what am I doing or not doing.... LOL I have all of my actionbars placed but still can't move the keys around the actionbars....

Went into the new Binding portion and used Esc on a few and tried to move those specific keys - but that didn't help - still can not move anything.....

Thanks for any info....

Fin An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 34 File comments: 74 Uploads: 3	Hello, Please could you either re-add the key bindings to the standard list, or allow each button's binding to include a mouse click? I use an addon that allows me to use mouse clicks for standard key bindings, and used this a lot on my priest (alt+click for renew, shift+click for flash heal, etc.). Unfortunately as Bongos' key bindings are no longer listed, I can't seem to set this up again. One more small request that isn't that important: it would be nice to be able to hide bars while out of combat in "Friendly" mode - my old Bongos setup used the "Friendly" "stance" to switch bars to a blank bar, which kept things nice and clean until I needed the buttons displayed. Anyway, thanks again for the awesome mod! Stellar work as always. - Fin

what you are currently telling bongos to do, is that when you switch stances you want bars 1 - 7 to switch by 6 bars. this is a useful feature, because you could theorteically change 2 bars, at a time when you change stances. something very useful. But it sounds like you just want to change 1 bar at a time. so re edit your stance bar rules. 1 - 1 + 6, for battle, 1 - 1 + 7 for defensive, and 1 - 1 + 8 for berzerker.

1 - 1 is a range. its saying change bars 1 to bars 1, and + 6 is saying, change them by 6 pages [landing you on bar 7].

when you say 1 - 7 its a range, saying change bars 1 through 7 by 6 pages.... clearly thats not what you want it to do.

Ah, ill have to try this. Thanks for the help and clearing it up for me.
Still pretty complicated :P

That will make bar 1 switch to your bar 7. BUT Every other bar besides Bar 10 will be screwed up. I like to have bar 5 and 6 as clicker bars ( so i can click them with my mouse ) and page through 1-4. That is impossible with these bars.

Why can't it be, Ok i want bar 1 to switch with bar 7. Done. It would make it SOOO much easier like that.

Anyway thought this would help some of you having trouble setting up your bars.

Maylin A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Sometimes, when I'm playing, the empty buttons will disappear. Not just the outline, but the entire buttons themselves, and I can't move spells/macros into them. Also, sometimes i can't switch spells out, I have to move the current spell to an empty spot, and move the new one in. I don't use any other bar mods, and it happens very randomly, so I'm not sure what could be causing it. Anyone else have this problem, or an idea what is going on?

GeneralWurst A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 96 Uploads: 0	To be honest, please change the way how to set up stances in bongos, it is too uncomfortable. I understand how it works but for expample Discord Actions Bars did it better because the normal bar setup was completely separated visually from the page/stance setup, in addition DAB had the bar switching for stances/for forms implented by default. Action Bars and Pages are two different things: Please add the stance/page setup to every single bar menu not as a general setup in the main menu and do not mix it with the general bar view. In the main config view i just want to see the bars i have set up and the pages are hidden but configurable for every single bar seperately. Think about it....
