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

Probably something I have missed some where...

Thanks

Fixed my problem, just change stance and drag spell from book...so easy.
Great addon!

It looks a lot different from the other action bars (I think this started... 2? revisions back). In effect, it looks like there's a double border around the class bar (druid forms in my case), which unfortunatly turns out to be very ugly. Disabling cyCircled for the class bar works... kind of, since there's still a pretty glaring difference between the other action bars and the class bar. For lack of a better comparison, it appears that all action bars are skinned "Dreamlayout"-like while the class bar isn't. Is there anything obvious I'm missing there?

depotstu A Wyrmkin Dreamwalker Forum posts: 54 File comments: 11 Uploads: 0	The only feature your mod lacks (in my opinion) is the ability to change the maximum size of individual bars. I am using 12 bars right now, some have only 2, 3, or 4 buttons...this leaves a lot of wasted buttons, because it seems that 10 buttons are attached to each bar, whether I choose to use them or not. I tried to give one of the bars 12 buttons and I could not raise it past 10. Is this something you might consider changing for a future version? __________________

Sorry, meant to include that. Yes, with bongos disabled, I did not get the frame loss when having mobs selected

Is the buff/debuff checking code always active, and the checkbox simply controls if its displayed? Or does the checkbox actually disable the checking completely?

Wish I could give better info aside from having tested this with no other mods running besides Bongos2, Bongos2_Actionbar, and Bongos2_Options

Any suggestions?

Try the ACE AddOn called XPBarNone. It's a fantastic xp bar mod. Just use it and remove the Bongos2 xp bar module directory from your AddOns folder.

doxxx A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 160 Uploads: 1	Would it be possible to have a modifier key temporarily disable Sticky Bars mode when dragging a bar? I prefer to use Sticky Bars mode normally but sometimes if a bar I'm positioning is just too close to another, it sticks even though I don't want it to. Perhaps holding down Shift while dragging could prevent it from sticking?

You're not running the latest version of Bongos (I can tell by the line number of the error)

I'm curious now, is it possible that I needed to delete some other file besides just the bongos folders out of the add ons folder when I install a new update?

Either way I've downloaded and installed Bongos 1.9.6 from the site plus deleted my WTF folder this evening, hopefully this will fix everything.

Thank you.

Oh and yes I'd used /console taintlog 1 but it just isn't creating a file.

You shouldn't need to alter anything else. I handle updates to your saved variables automatically.

Hey Tuller... I just have a question about a very minor issue. I was looking at the button lock toggle on the mini-map button but it doesn't seem to do anything. It changes text from locked to unlocked but the state of the buttons don't seem to change. I just happened to notice it since that was something you worked on per your patch notes. Thanks for some really great mods Tuller!

I actually forgot that functionality existed. I'll fix in the next update
