Bongos3  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.3
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

Bongos3 is a main action bar replacement designed be both powerful, yet lightweight and easy to use.

Have Questions? Check out the wiki first!

Included Addons:

  • Bongos - The core addon.
  • Bongos_AB - The action bar portion of Bongos.
  • Bongos_CastBar - A casting bar replacement. Colors the bar based on if the spell being cast is helpful, harmful or neutral. Also includes a timer.
  • Bongos_RollBar - Makes the dialogs that pop up when rolling on items movable.
  • Bongos_Stats - A movable framerate, latency, and addon memory usage indicator.
  • Bongos_XP -A movable experience/reputation bar.
  • Bongos_Options - A load on demand options menu.

Features
  • Every 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
  • Customizable stance transitions and state visibility for each action bar
  • Buff and debuff highlighting on action buttons

* Added jailborc's XP bar modifications
* Fixed errors with the class bar under the case of a class with no classbar skills.

1.1
* Fixed a bug causing my upgrade code not to run. If you're upgrading from 1.0 to 1.1, please make sure you've set a bar as the possess bar
* Fixed typo

1.0
* The possess bar will now default to the pet bar if no action bar has been set to act as it
* You can now only have one possess bar at a time
* Bongos now fires two Ace3 messages: BONGOS_LOCK_ENABLE and BONGOS_LOCK_DISABLE

Gamma.1
* Fixed some grammar issues

Beta.12
* Fixed a bug causing disabling sticky bars causing bars to move out of place
* Fixed bug causing bindings to clear on a new version update
* Fixed a bug causing bindings to not disable properly when removing a button or loading a profile
* Added an option to show tooltips only in combat
* Slightly tweaked the interface options menu

Beta.11
* Added an option to make the pet bar act as the possess bar
* Made the binding and config mode dialogs movable
* Fixed a bug for new users

Beta 10:
* Added a Page slider to each stance menu, tried to make the bar creation help more informative/noticeable.

Beta 9:
* Replaced the term Action Set with paging, and altered all of the stance sliders to say Page X instead of simply X
* Differentiated Page 1 from the default state of do nothing, called Disabled.
* Changed the format used for creating the right click menu for action bars to be table driven. Take a look at Bongos_AB/actionBarConfig.lua if you wanna edit it.

Small bug with beta 6, but the keybindings keep popping up on the buttons during play, you have to go to options and click them on then off again to make them disappear. Didn't see that in beta 5.

Edit: Very strange, put beta 5 back in and seems to be doing the same thing, was working fine yesterday. Restored my older saved variables as well, same thing.

Edit again: Nvm, seems to be the new version of Bindpad doing it, disregard. Great work again, btw, Tuller, thx for keeping my favorite addons updated. Couldnt do without Bongos, Bagnon, SellFish and Ludwig :P.

Problems with Paging

I do not know if this happens with everyone
I'm using a weird keyboard combination, long story short I use 1 through = and combinations of 1 through = with Ctrl , Shift and Alt.
When I go to configure the layout of a bar (I want it to show a different bar when I press Ctrl, Shift etc) in modifier, I cannot move the scroll bar, I have tried this with a clean installation with only bongos loaded, I have tried this on a hunter a warlock and a shaman, but it only seems to work when I load it on the warrior.
Also (though I do not use it) the scroll bar does not seem to work on the paging tab either. If I can help in any way please give me an address and I will send you whichever files may be needed.

Also (I read that this can be done through the wiki) but is there a way to have a different bar showing when I'm grouped and a different bar showing when I'm solo? if anyone can help me with this will be fantastic, it will help TONS

edit: it seems I had a blonde moment, I didn't change my action sets to a higher number that's why I couldn't make paging work, I'm still interested in hearing from any of you guys about the grouped not grouped thing

I have some serious problems with the pet bar in Bongos3 (using Beta6 now).
The pet bar shows the buttons only, when i use my own pet (for example shadowfiend for priest, water elemental for mage), but when i use an ability or device to control someone/something (for example mind control, steam tonk controller), the pet bar stays empty.

Edit: figured out today, how to "fix" this. Need to make a new bar and check "act as possess bar" in bar options. Dunno if it's intended, but a bit annoying

No need to adjust setting in a seperate mod (matter of fact I don't even know if you can use/edit it without Bongos 3)
No, you can't. Bongos Cornucopia requires Bongos 3 to work.

Keybindings..

Also noticed some very spurious problems with keybindings showing the completely wrong keys

having .olded my other folders when starting this project i've since copied my keybindings file back into the new server folder where my toon is, pre deleting the default keybindings file..

loaded into the game and had a completely different keybinding setup?.. ended up having to delete all my bongos luas loading back in and hey ho my correct key bingings showed up?!?

so to some it up.. it doesnt look like the keybindings been "shown" on the action buttons is updating properly. I've also enabled it to show my bindings in the bongos options but have so far only managed to see them showing on action bar 1.. the others are blank

i know its in beta stage hence me reporting me findings.. think i'll go check out b2 if its working with 2.4

cheers

EDIT: Dont get me wrong these are great addons.. but after looking at bongos2 it looks like you've taken a step back??

the options - setout, available options, working character specific bindings, etc just looks and feels so much better.

i know bongos3 is more upto date with the current wow coding but bongos2 is far more superior, though not usuable with cornucopia which is a crying shame. Any chance at re looking at what you had and not losing the things that make this mod a great looking bit of kit?

cheers

I'm missing something simple here...I just switched to Bongos3 from Bongos2. I have bar one showing, but I would like to use the numpad keys to page directly to bars 2-6. Worked in 2, can't see how to do it in 3. Help!

Hm

The only reason why i dont change from Bongos2, is that its actually not possible to do 3 kind of bars as a Shadow Priest.

One For Targeting Friendly Target out of Shadowform and one on Targeting Enemy Target out of Shadowform and one Bar in Shadowform (on both targeting enemy and friendly the same) im messing around with the VERY complicated Menu and options for days now, and i cant bringt it to work.

So, back to bongos2, good that they still work in 2.4

I too miss the minimap component, not so much becasue I like to move my minimap around but having the time right below it allows me to tear myself free of the PC every few hours

But something else that I used to use was right click to self cast. Is this already implemented and I've missed the option or are there plans to implement it in the future. This is an awesome mod, thanks for all your hard work.

Pet bar

The pet bar failed to show any abilities during the Chess event in Kara. I had the bar enabled, but nothing appeared. Didn't have much time to test it as my raid was already engaged in the event. I was on my paladin.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Pet Bar Error

one-pixel border at the bottom which is click-dead
What I've heard is that this is related to skinner addons (cyCircled).
My mod list is very short: Bongos, Bagnon, Cartographer, DrDamage, Ludwig, MetaHud, MoveAnything, Outfitter, SellFish, SellJunk and Wowhead Looter. To be safe, I disabled everything but Bongos, and tried re-positioning with Sticky Bars turned off. Same problem... with a vertical bar parked in a corner, I can't click the bottom pixel row.

The only difference I've seen between Bongos3 and Bongos2 that might account for this (in the "accidental feature" sense) is that in B2, a non-empty button had a black border IIRC, whereas now the borders are transparent (i.e., I can see between buttons). There is a transparent border line at the bottom of the screen, but not on the vertical edge the bar rests along. Haven't looked at the code, much less done a version comparison, so I have no idea whether this is actually relevant.

Bongos Cornucopia does indeed require Bongos, and should integrate pretty seamlessly. It really is best for a separate author to be developing that portion

more specifically for a Square moveable Minimap option?

Cheers

EDIT: Just noticed.. more importantly as we have Bongos Cornucopia for the minimap (though why have a seperate mod by someone else for the same thing is beyond me) but anyway back to the point..

Is there anyway of implementing a Player Portrait (and party) moveable option?!?
I'd like to have the flexibility to move mine and party members portraits to where i want them.

Cheers

Anyway, here's what I'm thinking of doing for stance configuration:
Say you have a bar, and you want it to display something different in say, Shadowform. You'll do the following:
* Create a new bar of the same size as the old bar.
* Put your shadow form skills on that bar
* Drag that bar onto the bar you want to switch in shadow form. It will become a tab of the bar you dragged it onto.
* Right click the tabbed bar, and set the shadow form slider to point to that bar.

Now, lets say you don't want that bar to have a shadow form page anymore. You'd do the following
* Take the tab on the bar, and drag it off. You'll now see the shadowform bar on screen again
* If you no longer need the bar, you can delete it.
I like this idea. I think a lot of people have trouble with visualizing or remembering the extra action sets associated with a bar. Making it explicit in the config UI through the use of separately created bars which are then attached to an existing bar would make it a lot more intuitive.
