About Bongos3

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 Bartender3

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

Reporting Bugs

When reporting bugs, give me what version of Bongos you are running, what addons you're running, and any steps to reproduce the problem. Due to how many bugs are usually reported, I'm not likely to respond if you're lacking any of the requested information.
Check for similar issues before creating a new ticket.
Do not post entire bug reports into the comments section. Post a ticket instead. Failure to follow this step will result in your issue being deleted.

Common Issues/FAQ

Again, check the wiki!. I'll post things here as people find them.

Is there a converter for settings between older versions of Bongos and Bongos3?

There will be no converter for settings from Bongos2 to Bongos3. The two addons are different enough in design that it would not be possible.

I cannot do anything during Teron Gorefiend, the Kara Chess Event, or when mind controlling an enemy!

Make sure you have whatever bar you've marked as being the possess bar as being shown. If no action bar is checked as being the possess bar, it will default to being the pet bar.

Where did the minimap bar go?

Bongos3 does not include a minimap bar. Try Bongos Cornucopia for it and a bunch of other things. The reason I did this was to try and focus the main package more on things related to breaking up the main bar.

Why is there no option for cooldown count?

Bongos does not include cooldown count. Try OmniCC. A long time ago, Bongos did actually include cooldown count. It was removed when I developed OmniCC simply because OmniCC has the ability to work on absolutely anything.

I cannot get my bar to change when I press shift+<number> or mousewheel!

You need to setup manual paging. Please refer to the wiki for more details.

I cannot get paging to work!

Please refer to the the wiki. If that does not help, post an issue including the following information:

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

Please Help. I play on 2 computers, 1 @ home, 1 @ work. I run bongos3 on both pc's. It seems that everytime I switch between computers, my bars get all mixed up. So I basically have to re-config all bars twice a day during the week.I have tried saving profiles and such to no avail. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Step 1: delete all duplicate bars.
Step 2: reload your interface.
Step 3: Recreate bars as needed

I've been loving bongos, might try dominos once I figure out what I'd be losing if I switch.

Question:
(I did read the wiki, got paging working - I think)
When I drag some buttons over to a new bar (for warrior stance pages), it duplicates them and makes 3 button icons for that one that I dragged over.

I saw other people posting this, but didn't see a solution.

I thought there was an option to highlight the skill when that debuff is applied to your target. Was I wrong?

There's no option to edit the buff window.

Also, I'm considering making a major update and porting over Dominos changes (button reuse, etc). No promises, though.

Unfortunally Dominos is by far not that flexible and powerfull like Bongos.

I for myself will use Bongos till it's broken, and then i have to look for an new Bar addon.

There is no way to complain that Bongos3 is no longer supported, but i can do some QQ :-)

Tuller, Bongos3 is by far the best BarAddon WoW ever had. Its very sad for me that you wont support it any longer.

Gah. QQ. I love this mod, and it suits my UI. No other bar mods have it's functions. Really gonna miss it. Is Dominos going to be able to (what bongos does now), alt-click to make a box of buttons, or is it going to be the standard annoying 12 buttons in a row, thing, where you have to use two bars to get a certain amount of buttons?

I've always wanted people who wanted to alter their minimap to download a minimap addon. Try something like basic minimap.

dominos looks like it will b a great addon; i have one suggestion though, keep the minimap bar like what bongos cornicopia has because i myself (and many others) find that being able 2 lock buttons; hide buttons as well as move buttons on the minimap is a great feature.the other map options may/may not be important to others but i feel that many people owuld appreciate it if we could still have the minimap button options from bongos cornicopia with dominos

IF you SHIFT+LEFTCLICK on the minimap0 button, the binding page will appear.

Not SHIFT+RIGHTCLICK.

Hope it helps
