Bah, apparently I cannot figure out how to edit this post anymore :P Here's a human readable version:

I wrote the following a few weeks ago as a response to a person on Curse asking about Bongos_Minimap, and thought I would share:

I'm a crazy person, I know this. The end result is I end up doing the following:

* Use some addon, or come up with an idea, and think, "hey, I should make this"

* Create something

* Release it.

* Get it to a point of stability

* Work on something else

* Decide, "hey, there are things I'd like to do over"

* Rewrite the entire thing.

* Release it.

* Repeat

This is why Bongos, the Dominos betas of Bongos (tabbed bars), Bongos2, Bongos3, and Dominos. Each one is the result of me trying an idea, then something happening (either me not liking the end result, or a patch breaking everything).

Bongos2 existed because of wow 2.0. Bongos3 existed to try and resolve common issues people experienced with Bongos2, Dominos exists because I felt I was doing too much with Bongos3.

Bongos_Minimap was the end result of me thinking, "Wouldn't it be great if I made it possible to move anything using the Bongos frame system?" Eventually another user expanded upon the idea and created Cornucopia. I ended up dropping support for the minimap module because I felt I had increased the scope of Bongos too much. (Bongos/Dominos is strictly limited to only modify things that it needs to as a result of breaking up the main action bar into movable parts).

Bongos_Stats existed because Bongos disabled the ping display, I did not feel like running Titan Panel to get one :P I dropped it when blizzard added a ping display to the menu bar.

Anyway, here are my two crazy ideas that could ever lead to another Bongos:

* An unlimited actionbars that you draw on the screen type addon. (think a simpler, easier to use macaroon).

* An addon with per _state_ layouts: Your interface will be able to completely change when in bear/cat/holding down alt/etc.

Hi.

Im having a problem with bagnon saying that it needs an up date when I use curse client. I download your latest update ( currently 2.9.3 ) thru curse client. Then I hit refresh and it still says that I have 6.12.13v and need to download 2.9.3 again. I have unistalled Bagnon using the client uninstall button and then reinstalled with same result. Any ideas?

Thanks

Savage

There are no configuration options or slash commands at the moment. These are the next things to fix after the core bugs are fixed.

I've uploaded 2.0.2. This version should fix the bank tooltip issue.

GameFAQsRolo — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 20:45:33 GMT

Are there any commands atm? My old macro to look at my bank no longer works /bgn bank. Also, the tooltips when I'm at the bank are bugged. The tooltips from the first 3 rows repeat in all the other rows.

What is the name of the ldb to show the badges?

How do I customize layout in 2.0.x? Clicking on the tittle doesn't work T_T.

Tuller — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 12:09:49 GMT

Spencer:

2.0.1 should have these issues fixed. This is available on my SVN now, but I'll try to have a zip put up before I go out of town today.

If you want to see item counts for the guild bank, etc, I suggest taking a look at Bagnon_Armory: www.wowinterface.com/.../info13504-BagnonArmory.html

SpencerMC — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 07:47:10 GMT

Also, the possibility to show item counts from the guild bank would be handy.

SpencerMC — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 05:50:30 GMT

Getting error when moving over items in the bank:

calling 'SetInventoryItemSlot' (a nil value)

Bagnon\components\item.lua:240:

Bagnon\components\item.lua:227

I've got no other addons installed other than Swatter.

Comments:

1. The [Esc] button won't close the bank - but perhaps thats as a result of the error.

2. Would be nice to see an option at least for a button to view keyring from the main bag. I'll have no way to get to it (with bartender4) otherwise.

3. When there is only 1 item between all characters, an option to hide the item count would be nice.

4. Getting a double item count (see i44.tinypic.com/2s1vouc.jps)

But man.. this is really nice. Can't wait to see final version! OneBag collection? No thanks

Well bah to copy and paste, here's the link to the alpha:

code.google.com/.../list

Tuller — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 01:46:56 GMT

So, I've posted an alpha of what is Bagnon 2.0 here:

code.google.com/.../d...+FileName+Size

This version uses the same folder name as Bagnon 1.x.y, and will trash your old saved settings. There will be no settings upgrade from 1.x to 2.x.

This alpha version more or less lacks all configuraton options, but the core should work decently enough. If you poke around the lua (specifically frameSettings.lua) you should be able to figure out how to configure scale/opacity/columns/spacing, etc. FrameStrata is not yet configurable (and set to HIGH by default, so your frame will display over the AH frame), and there is not an option to lock frame positions quite yet.

If you're looking for databroker addons to try out for the display in Bagnon, then take a look here:

www.wowinterface.com/.../cat108.html

Some databroker addons will mesh well with Bagnon better than others, and BankStack has a plugin too.

I have a good bit of work to do on Bagnon 2.0 still:

* I need to design and write the configuration interface still. Not sure how it'll look, but there will be an additional button on each frame to bring up the menu.

* I need to still write the event display functionality (ie, hide/show on tradeskill, etc)

* I need to do a good bit of refactoring still. There's likely performance optimizations to make (specifically I know there's a good bit of memory churn when rapidly opening and closing the frame). I'm also debating if I like the saved settings design.
