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

Hover over the minimap button and shift + left-click to enter binding mode. Hover over a button and press the button (or a combination of them) to bind it to that key.

Everyone seems a bit confused by action sets. I'm going to look into redesigning the system.

Originally posted by Nefarion

Bongos2 should work fine in 2.4. Bongos3 is very different than Bongos2, and you should be prepared to redo your setup if you choose to upgrade.

If I install Bongos3 and try it, and then deactivate it and return to Bongos2, will my Bongos2 preferences will remain as they were?

And if someday I go back to Bongos3, will all those preferences remains as well?

I guess yes, since Tuller stated that there is no way to import our Bongos2 preferences to Bongos3, but I just want to ask before trying Bongos3

If I've coded everything properly, then it should be possible to run Bongos2 and 3 at the same time :P So, running one will not trash the settings of the other. Action button positions are currently saved on blizzard's servers. So if you change the position of one button in one system, it will change in the other system (and in the standard ui, too).

I notice small "bugs" with a localized client, on words contains a latin accentuated char replaced by a "?"

There were already present on B2 version.

Opacity = Opacité in french, Visibility = Visbilité

Noted. I think that's the one file I shouldn't be saving in UTF-8.

Is there a way to get the mini-map component separate from the action bar component, like in Bongos2? I use a different action bar mod for all my non-druids/warriors and having to download a different mod JUST to move the mini-map for them makes Bongos3 really not worth it for me.

Bongos_Minimap will not be included in the standard download when Bongos3 is released. Jalborc will be including a version in a new mod of his, Bongos_Cornucopia.

That being said, if you're using Bongos just for a minimap, I'd look for another solution

In the Layout options for the bar, increase the number of Action Sets.

When im in binding mode, bongos accepts the key bindings (and it shows them in the pop-up window), but when i exit binding mode and try to use the action by pressing the keys, nothing happens. This happens only with localized characters. Great addon btw!

Awgy A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	I have Bongos all setup on one character and copied the profile to a warrior. When I try to add stances to action bar 1, it tries to use action bar 2 which is already setup for something else. When I setup stances on action bar 1 in a new profile, it takes over the next set of buttons and prevents them from being used by the next bar (which is what I'd expect). But in the case of copying the profile, bar 2 is still there and using the same buttons as the first bar (while in the second stance). Is there a way for me to force bongos 3 to use a specific bar (just like bongos 2)? If not, the lack of control may lead to the real buttons under bongos to become disorganized. If I ever have to setup my profile from scratch in the future (just like in the transition to bongos 3), I'll have to clear all of my buttons and start from scratch. In the very least, whenever I add a new stance or page to a bar, I'd have to move all of the buttons that will be taken over on consecutive bars to a new bar and delete the old one?

Fatbeard A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 4 Uploads: 2	Some Feedback Hello, I've really enjoyed bongos2 and am looking forward to the completed (not beta) version of Bongos3. After the patch I gave Bongos3 a spin. Below is a list of pros and cons: Pros: I like the idea of making the bars any size (rows,columns) that I want. It's a neat idea and one I'd love to see fleshed out. Rolling the configuration settings into Blizzard's new interface menu makes the configuration experience much cleaner. The ability to show/hide action bars in Combat is awesome! Cons: Please add an unlock/lock bar checkbox to the interface menu. Some people don't like to have yet another button on floating around their map. All the options available from the map button should also be in the interface menu. the creation of new bars is a little unintuitive. I'm happy you had a popup for with instructions but it should either appear every time or be added as a note in the interface menu. I missed it the first time and spent an hour trying to figure out why I only had one bar. Stance paging appears to be broken. I couldn't get it to work. It may be that I'm missing something related to the ability to create any sized bars. EDIT: I just saw a post on wow forums explaining the action set thing. Question: is it still possible to map the bars so they match Blizz default stance paging? Thanks again for this awesome addon. I can't wait for the final release!

Bump in case this got missed (Tuller's responded twice to other things since I first posted)...

Originally posted by tejon
With Bongos2 I had action bars positioned with buttons in the lower left and lower right corners. This allowed me quick access to a couple of "emergency buttons" with mouse gestures: peg the pointer in the corner and click. Bongos3 has a one-pixel border which doesn't respond to clicks, so I can't do this anymore.

To be more specific, these are vertically-aligned bars. It's only a one-pixel border at the bottom which is click-dead, but of course that's all it takes! If this is a configuration option which I've missed, feel free to backhand me.

Try turning on the "Act as Possess Bar" option in the Layout options for your primary action bar.

Thanks, I will try that setting. Unfortunately, I have no way to test until next week.

Well, I can tell you that I've run Bongos3 in kara with a possess bar working before

What I've heard is that this is related to skinner addons (cyCircled).

Please add an unlock/lock bar checkbox to the interface menu. Some people don't like to have yet another button on floating around their map. All the options available from the map button should also be in the interface menu.

The interface menu is for saved settings, whether or not you are in config mode is not saved. If you need a shortcut to enter/exit config mode, then you can use /bob lock or /bob config

When I setup stances on action bar 1 in a new profile, it takes over the next set of buttons and prevents them from being used by the next bar (which is what I'd expect). But in the case of copying the profile, bar 2 is still there and using the same buttons as the first bar (while in the second stance).

That sounds like a bug. I really do not suggest using profiles between two different classes of characters due to there being significant differences in paging settings.

Is there a way for me to force bongos 3 to use a specific bar (just like bongos 2)?

Here's how one would screw up a bar in Bongos3: Step 1, create 3 bars. Delete the middle one, then increase the size of the third one. The third one will now have buttons from bar2.

The reason this happens is that when creating a new bar, Bongos picks the lowest available actionID first. I really do not know how to fix the issue without giving users the option of setting what IDs to use.

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.

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 Last edited by wolfchild : 03-28-08 at 11:44 AM.
