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>
/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

It works fine in bear form, and if I turn off all mods it works fine in the normal game (non-bongo bars even, I mean). This is really frustrating, I love my bars and just want this to work Any ideas? I have tried doing bars other than "bar 1" just to make sure it's not just the first bar that isn't working, and it still didn't work. Last edited by Smalldeath : 11-27-06 at 01:56 PM.

Question, is it possible to say setup bar 9 to show when a Hunter summons their pet and swith to bar 10 when they dismiss them? I though maybe I could do this in the Stances but the only stance I see for Hunter is "Friendly" and no option to add one manually.

It'll be possible if I code for it

Another idea would be something like party or raid bars, I think.

I haven't done much work on Bongos today after deciding to rewrite the button code. Updates eventuallyish!

Ahhh! Thank you! I did not notice that the unlock was also unlocking the map frame, and so was looking everywhere for the config frame while it was locked.

Thanks for this great addon. It's the only actionbar addon I've ever tried that I haven't immediately hated, and so far it looks extremely promising!

Joker5: (i.e. pulling up each bar by numbers on the numpad) but I want to be able to access all 10 bars instead of the standard 6. Will Bongos allow me to do that?

Yes. Just change your keybindings for Action Pages 1-6 under Blizzard's default section, and the keybindings for Action Pages 7-10 under the Bongos section, to use the numpad.

Now a question of my own: aside from saving memory, are there any advantages or disadvantages to using the "reuse Blizzard buttons" option?

Also posted a feature request for mouse-only paging, either by adding some paging buttons like the default UI, or intercepting the mousewheel when the cursor is over a paged actionbar.

How come that bongos is so slow and sometimes dosnt even update the icon's of the wand and mainhand when i remove them / replace them.
Is this possible to fix? kinda anoying because i often change weapons or remove them in raids.

I though I had fixed it earlier, but evidently not. I'll try and remember it for the 2.0 version.

I'm in the market for a bar mod. The way I play my toons, I use the number pad to pull up whichever bar I want to see and I cast from the numbers above the letter keys. 100% typing. I'm currently using the CT bottom bar mod to remove all parts of the bottom configuration except the main action bar. What I'd like to do is replace that with a mod that i can use in the same way (i.e. pulling up each bar by numbers on the numpad) but I want to be able to access all 10 bars instead of the standard 6. Will Bongos allow me to do that?

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but Bongos allows you to set keybindings for all 120 buttons, and also allows you to page through them all, provided you set the shift+number key bindings, or use the mousewheel.

One additional question, I currently use Satrina's CastProgress mod for my casting bar, but it doesn't handle aimed shot or autoshot. Does the casting bar in bongos handle either of those?

The bongos cast bar does not track aimed shot or autoshot. It is optional, though

Stellar so far, just a suggestion for those cat/bears out there, or anyone who has a shapeshifting button and likes to paginate their primary bar. Let me set up the example:

Bar 1, page 1 - Offensive spells, etc. etc.
Bar 1, page 2 - Healing and related spells, etc. etc.

Key "X" is bound to page swap between these two, using a simple pagination addon. Now when I have page 2 currently active and shapeshift into cat or bear, bar 1 does not change to the appropriate page. Further, I have to use the "X" key to repage back to what would be page 1 to get the currently active shapeshift forms button to come up. Now, when I shift out, the page goes back to page 1 ( from the shapeshift page ) and I have to rehit the paging button.
Under stances, add one for 'Friendly.' It'll switch to a bar when targeting nothing, holding down a selfcast key, or targeting a friendly unit.

Would it be possible to make Bongos simple check what page is currently up when shapeshifting and change to the appropriate page for the new form, then when shifting out, go back to whichever page it was on?

There is a god.

It seems a lot of authors are creating an entirely new project for their BC-compatible mods, so was wondering if you had planned to do that also, or will you be posting your BC-compatible version here?

Hi Tuller,

Just a quick question - I don't know if you've seen Bartender2, but that is an action-bar mod that allows you to change the shape/look of the buttons you are using to, for example, circular buttons. Is there any way to do this in Bongos? Or might it be added at some point?

Thanks for all your hard work - I'm currently enjoying UI love from Bongos, OmniCC, Ludwig and Bagnon. /cheer

Yes, especially since it looks like I won't be able to reuse buttons.

I have ticked the box for the XP bar to be visible but nothing, is there some command or something that can make it visible again or?

Try this:
/script BXPBarSets = nil; BXPBar:SetUserPlaced(false); ReloadUI()
