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

Small problem, It was working all fine for me. Had visible XP bar and all. Then I put in Fubar and the XP bar vanished. I removed Fubar, but not XP bar appeard again.

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?

D'oh! Well, if you ever change your mind, I'd be happy to help test it out.

The recent updates with bars changing per-stance are great. I've just started using them and have been happily tearing apart my old bars and reconfiguring them now. I would like to ask for one small feature request though: could you please add the option to hide a bar while in a particular stance? I would like this mostly for the "Friendly" mode - because most of my buttons are not needed and it would be handy while in cities for cleaning up the UI.
I can, but it will not work in combat.

Er, actually, I have two feature requests, heh. The second is: could you add a slash command to toggle whether a bar is visible or not? I've written a little script that does the same (it sets or unsets a value and shows or hides a bar depending on that) - but it would be nifty to have it more easily available. Thanks again! - Fin
/bob toggle <barList>

I can't get Cat stance to work. Got Bear to work, not cat. Displayed ALL hotbars, setup the stance the same as I did with Bear (except "switch bar by" used a different bar than bear ofcourse). Thinking another AddOn might be conflicting I disabled ALL AddOns except for Bongos, same thing.. only Bear works.. no cat. Bar 1 remains visible in all stances other than Bear.
There's been a few people with this issue, but you're the first case I know of where I can directly isolate it to Bongos If you manually set the stances while in the game, does it work?

The lock buttons option that prevents you taking spells off buttons keeps turning back on every time I log out. How do I keep that disabled thru logouts?
By waiting for me to fix a bug

Awesome mod, thanks Tuller. I've been using it since it came out and haven't found anything that is anywhere near as good in my opinion.

The recent updates with bars changing per-stance are great. I've just started using them and have been happily tearing apart my old bars and reconfiguring them now. I would like to ask for one small feature request though: could you please add the option to hide a bar while in a particular stance?

cheers,

Btw, how do you remove the text from the classbutton?
The: CFS or wtf the text is ?
And how do you bind the "classbutton" ?
CF(probably 5) is shorthand for Control + F5, which is what key the button is bound to. It should be listed under either special action buttons or bonus action buttons in the keybindings menu.

By default, Bongos has stance switching turned on. If nothing is happening, you probably have some mod that's conflicting with Bongos, something to do with paging or another bar mod.

You can also take a look at the stance panel in /bongos options, too.

i'm pretty new to bongos and i was wondering if you can make bars hide\show when your in combat or out of combat?
No, not at this time. It is most likely not possible in WoW 2.0

Update on Lost Functionality:
Blizzard is adding states for prowl and shadow form, so essentially nothing from the current version of Bongos will be lost. Ranged paging is essentially confirmed as not being allowed.

Thats not to bad. I think if thats all that is lost we I live with it pretty well. I noticed a lot of bar swaping commands being added by slouken on the blizz forums, perhaps some of those new functions might still be allowed during combat. I doubt it but we can hope. :-} I also saw something today that all the mod authors on wowinterface were going to get beta codes soon.

Perhaps you'll get to check things out sooner rather than later. :-}

Re: BC changes.

Originally posted by kwslavens
Tuller, what do you see happening with bongos or your other great mods when BC comes out? Do you see any functions of your mods disappearing or perhaps changing drastically due to BC?

:-}
I'm almost absolutely certain that Bongos_Hunter (ranged/melee bars) will not work, and its a bit likely that shadow form and prowl bars may no longer function as well. I have not looked very hard TBC UI code yet, and probably won't until I'm in the beta, so I don't know everything about what will and what will not work.

The only other addon I have that I think will be affected is Sage (unit frames). It might end up losing the ability to dynamically resize.
