Bongos3

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

But what in the wrld is a possess bar? What is possess mode? What can I do with "possess" and how does it works?

Sorry if this may sound stupid, but I just dont see any informations anywhere concerning this.

Possession is when you take control of another player or mob. For example, a Priest using Mind Control or the Karazhan chess event. The action bar which is set as the Possess Bar will show the actions of the controlled creature/player instead of your normal buttons.

Then you have created too many bars and have used up all the action slots available to you (120).

This should be fixed in the latest beta.

False. The design is not obvious so you would not have known if no one had told you :P

In Bongos2 I could use my action buttons through macros using for example /click BongosActionButton15 and similar, it seems that the action buttons are no longer referred to that way, and as i noticed you mentioned the bars being name less, I wonder how I would click a action button created by bongos through a macro? Apologize if the answer is right in front of my face but im missing to see it. Awesome addon.

Awesome addon.

First: what are you trying to achieve by doing this?
Second: The names of buttons in bongos3 are not consistent from login to login. So the macro will more than likely not work.

I use a /click macro on my paladin for easy seal management. My Judgement macro looks something like this:

/cast Judgement
/click SomeBongosButton32

Then I put whatever Seal I want to recast after judging in that button. So I can easily change it just by dragging Seal spells around on my actionbars instead of editing the macro.

Why are the names inconsistent? Why are they not just named for the actionID?

Buttons are named by the order they're created in Bongos3. Bongos2 did the same thing, but it just happened that the button creation order and actionID names were the same. This is actually the reason I had to implement a new keybinding method for Bongos3.

So if I don't change the layout of my bars, create new bars, delete bars, etc. then it should always get the same name, right? It seems to be working fine for me right now.

Provided you do not delete anything, buttons will have consistent names on the first load of your interface where you do not make any changes. Bongos3:Print(Bongos3.Bar:Get(barID):GetButton(i):GetName()) will tell you the name of a button.

Tuller, the code you gave me to fade the bars ooc didn't work. I made a addons with the code in it and neither worked(i tested them seperately). Did I do something wrong? Am I supposed to put the code somewhere else?

Do the bars you're trying to fade have autofade set?

Here's the only case where click macros will not work properly:
You create three bars. Delete the middle one. Make some macros that perform /click to buttons on bar 3.

Reload your UI. Those macros will not work and need to be adjusted.
After readjusting, reload your UI again. Those macros will now work.

Why?
The buttons on bar 3, in the first case, were created after the ones on bar2. In the second case, since there was no longer a bar2, the buttons on bar3 were created after the ones on bar1.
