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 so, in order to get stances to work... Ill use mine as an expamle. I have my Battle Stance on bar 7. In the stances menu, i have it say "In Stance: Battle", "Switch Bars: 1-6", "Pages 6". And so on with the rest of your bars.

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.

Not Switching Back to Cat from Prowl

Howdy.

Prior to one of the last two releases, my stances worked fine (as a druid). Now, when I switch to Prowl and get my prowl bars. When I come out of Prowl, it is not switching back to my Cat bar.

Please advise.

Thank you.

I can live with the odd bug just because it is such an amazingly well made mod.

Any ideas on how to stop it?

Bindings set to bar 2 for some reason activate stuff on bar 5.
Moving something on bar 4 also moves it on bar 7.
Etc etc.
as a warrior i basically set just 2 stance changes

Bar 1 is my Battle Stance
Bar 2 is my Defense
Bar 3 is my Zerker

I hide Bars 2 and 3, so i dont even mess with them. I set the page [1-1 and 1 page for defensive, and 1-1 and 2 page for Zerker] leaving Battlestance alone as its my default state for bar 1.

I then switch stances to set my buttons.

looks like the previous fix [unless it wasnt, and im just mistaken] where empty buttons that were hidden showed up in combat appears to be back.

tis a shame, any chance of [if that was indeed already fixed] getting fixed again?

*edit* actually just backtracked a version and looks like its still the same, so i was mistaken. Still hope that gets fixed tho

keyconfig

I've finally managed to get my druid in kitty form to change bars..... but it seems the keys are "glued" to button bar 1, as when I change form, whatever I do it says "you're in shapeshift form" and for me it's a pain to use the mouse to click the buttons instead of using the keyboard.

ideas are welcome.

Thank you

*grumbles*

I've now set my keyboard config to use BAbutton(number>) instead of the default Blizzard buttons...... how easy is it to confuse a poor li'l Tauren Droid :lol

I did this exact thing with my warrior with no luck.

I left bar 1 empty. I made bar 6 my bar with battle stance buttons. I said change bar 1 + 5 pages. then i made another one with defensive stance. change bar 1 +6 pages [defensive stance was bar 7] pretty much nothing happened. It now shows my battle stance buttons no matter what. Does not change when i change stances.

i can say the previous release nothing worked. The stances did not work, no matter how you set them.

When i saw this release and people saying it didnt work, i deleted all my saved variable files, and deleted all pre-existing bongo directories.

Started from scratch, and the stance swapping does indeed work now in this release

In the last version stance changes no longer seem to work. I couldn't do anything with them.

After binding keys to the bongos action bar keys 1-3 no longer work. But I can page through bars 1-4 just fine, change stances just fine.

Keys 1-3 just become unbound for some reason This is for your newest bongos version 12-14-2006 10:57 AM)

*UPDATE* Sorry my bad. A new version of Nurfed came out today as well, which totaly screws with your bindings.

Bongos is working GREAT without nurfed installed.
