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

Anyone else notice that when you load the bonogs2 map mod that you can't open you character windows and profession windows at the same time without them overlapping? Doesn't really matter which two windows it is.... they all seem to overlap. Without just the map addon loaded I can open 3 windows at the same time.

With and without the map addon I'm only able to open up two menus at the same time, and I'm fairly confident it's been like that since launch. Also, there is no overlapping. Are you running some mod that allows you to open 3 windows at a time?

Ive experienced the same problem and it seems to be whenever the minimap is more than about a 7th from the right of the screen (as with my ui) ive used simpleMinimap also with the same results so it may be something to do with minimap movement in general.

Also, i have just found that i Can open 3 windows at a time (which show when they are not stacking) none of my mods mention anything about doing this so i am unsure about the whole thing, it is possibly blizzard ui problem conflicting with the minimap?

I tried scaling my UI a bit more (it's been the same since launch) than I normally do and for some reason I can open three windows now. I have no idea if that's why I can do this now or not. /shrug Testing things on the way to Kara means it's a little sloppy. The number of windows you can open does seem to be dependant on the map placement, however in further testing I'm still unable to replicate the stacking error.

I can't imagine how this could be part of the issue (Tuller can probably have a wacky theory), but do both of you play on the EU client?

They added some new code for handling frame layout stuff in 2.1, I would suspect its related to that.

Stance problem

Don't know why, but for some reason Bongos2 stopped swapping back to my regular bar from Stealth once in combat, and it will swap only once out of combat again.

been a long time user of Bongo. first off. GREAT JOB!

now to the point...


all of my toons use Bongo2. the tooltip works.

but once i am on my warrior. the tooltip works if out of combat but once in combat, no tooltip appears if i hover over a button.

i have disabled all Addons but bongo2. and add each addon one by one.

seen only affects my warrior. as for other toons it works fine.

Hey, First I just want to say that I'm really impressed with Bongos.
I do have a problem though... :P

Last night I was playing my low lvl rogue. I have Bongos set to flip hotbar 1 over depending on wether or not Im stealthed (no idea how, it was already like that). Anyway, I wasnt doing anything other than changing some options in SCT - changing it so CP's show as crits to be exact. I closed SCT options and noticed hotbar 1 is blank. I fill it up again with my skills, I wasnt stealthed so I put those skills in 1st. Then I stealthed so I could put those skills onto the hotbar... nothing happened, the hotbar stayed showing the skills I had just put on there.
I've tried loads of different paging options but just cant get it to flip over now. It seems that page 1 and page 5 are showing the same thing, ie when I remove a button from page 1 it goes from page 5 aswell. Really not sure what I've done here... I even tried resetting the mod but that just seemed to reset the bar positions as everything else stayed the same. The version is 1.5
Any help would be great

*Edit* Fixed it, was nothing wrong with the mod - just me jumping the gun. Figured out the paging now and it works a treat

I'm using the US client. If I recall, I was able to open 3 windows at one time without any mods installed, but that could be because I play on a widescreen monitor (1920X1200). However, I've tested this with only bongos2 installed and I get the same problem, if the map mod is enabled windows overlap. I even tried the mod Mappy figuring it was just a bug with the bongos map part, but that causes the same problem. I'll try moving the map later tonight away from the edge of the screen to see if it helps.

BTW, I don't know if i've mentioned this in previous posts but... this mod is great. It has to be my favorite and most used mod I have.

Mouseover transparency?

Tuller,

I wanted to request the ability to make certain action bars transparent unless you mouse over them. I know there are other bar mods out there that have this functionality, but I much prefer Bongos to those =D

Thanks for your consideration!

Hide tooltip?

I seem to remember that Bongos used to have an option to hide the tooltips when you mouse over your buttons in combat... any chance that might make it back into Bongos2? Or am I just blind and I can't find it anymore? (Or maybe I'm just crazy and it was never there? )

Its in the fubar plugin for bongos, but not in bongos.

I'm using Bongos2 ver 1.5.

I'm not able to load any of the saved profiles from my previous version of Bongos. They're not even listed in the profile tab anymore. The is affecting all chars I play.

When I sacrifice my warlock's pet, the pet bar doesn't disappear, and I have to right click dismiss my pet for the bar to go away. Could this be something wrong with the default UI? because the pet frame sometimes doesn't go away right away.

I have this going in the interface help section as well...

I will post a screen shot when I get off work if I have not found the solution by then.

I started with a fresh install which gave me 10 bars. For bar one I brought up the options and went to paging. The paging screen looks like this:

Page 2
-----------Slider-----------
Page 3
-----------Slider-----------
Page 4
-----------Slider-----------
Page 5
-----------Slider-----------
Page 6
-----------Slider-----------


I currently have page 2 set to bar 2 (which is reflected on my action bars...later it will be a hidden bar...like 10) all the other sliders are set to 0 which I thought would only give me 2 pages...and it does...but I have to click "next action bar" 5 times while on page 1 before I see page 2...then the next click is back to page 1

This is basically what I have:

Page 2
--2---------Slider-----------
Page 3
0-----------Slider-----------
Page 4
0-----------Slider-----------
Page 5
0-----------Slider-----------
Page 6
0-----------Slider-----------
