Bazooka
Bazooka is a Data Broker Display similar in functionality and looks to FuBar.
Feature highlights
- Top/Bottom alignment or free moving of bars.
- Left-click drag moves, alt-right-click drag resizes the bar (unless the frames are locked).
- Drag-and-drop plugin placement with highlighted drop positions.
- Configurable background / font / icon size.
- The usual options for data broker displays (show text/icon/label, optionally show title in place of label if it's missing).
- Support of iconCoords and icon[RGB] (TomTom arrow, for example).
- Left / Center-Left / Center / Center-Right / Right placement position for plugins within bars, allowing easy layout of plugins. Plugins placed in the Center area are centered as a bunch.
- Optional auto-fade while in combat / out of combat.
- Optionally disable mouse / tooltips.
- Optional simple tooltips (just show title if Alt is held while moving the mouse pointer over the plugin).
- Optional highlight on mouseover for the active plugin.
- Load-on-demand configuration options, small memory footprint for "standard" operation.
- Bulk mode configuration that allows configuring multiple bars/plugins easily.
- Restrict plugin text width
- Disable minimap icons
- Tooltip scale override
- Support for OnMouseWheel, OnReceiveDrag and OnDoubleClick script handlers for plugins
- Optionally override plugin defined text colors
Usage
Getting started
- Create new bars from the main options window
- Drag plugins to desired location
- Drag plugins off bars to disable them
- Dragging bars while holding Alt will change their attached/detached state. Otherwise top/bottom bars will snap back to top or bottom depending on where you drop them.
Using the bulk configuration (standard method)
- Uncheck Auto-apply.
- Check the bars/plugins you want the settings to apply to.
- Check Apply next to the settings you want to change, and set them to the value you need.
- Click Apply at the bottom of the options. The changes you selected will be applied to all selected bars/plugins at this point.
Using the bulk configuration (auto-apply method)
- Check Auto-apply.
- Check the bars/plugins you want the settings to apply to.
- Change the settings (or click the Apply text next to them if their current value is the one you want). The changes will be applied immediately to all selected bars/plugins.
Slash commands

Obtaining plugins
You can find Data Broker plugins at these places:
- Data Broker plugins on Curse
- Data Broker plugins on WowAce

Yeah, I ended up disabling all of them (all addons) and it still happened. Confused. Sorry to bother you~! :)
Going to delete the Interface folder and start over.

Well good I guess. I was enjoying Bazooka! :)
This was a bug specific to monks that blizz fixed a bit ago. Sorry for the confusion.
Being supported for WoD?
Hello... :)
Bazooka works fine with WoD (Beta).
My hotfix for WoD:
(I'm using Bazooka, FlyPitch, Postal, Prat 3.0, Shadowed UnitFrames and SheepDog with this fix in the current beta...)
greeting Hizuro :)
Can't open options menu or edit something o.O
i think you broke it
Any support for 5.3? When I try to open up options I get nothing >.<
The latest release (v2.2.3) should work fine. Please check it.
cheers,

May be a silly question but is there a way to show reputation xp?
When the battle comes up it seems to be moving my bags and everything else. I am going to give it a try tonight.
Minor issue with the new Pet Battle UI.
When it is shown, it overlaps the top Bazooka bar. It is not moved down like the other UI elements.
I don't know if it is possible to move the Pet Battle UI top bar, but an alternative could also be to just hide the Bazooka bars while in a pet combat.
The blizzard UI elements are moved by LibJostle, consider writing a ticket to that project regarding this issue (I mentioned it on irc and some devs said this won't be allowed, or something to that tune, but still worth a try ;)
I've added a new (bar) option in v2.2.0 to disable the bar during pet battle. It's enabled by default for all bars, but you can disable it for bars that don't overlap pet-battle ui elements.
cheers,

Hiding the bar(s) during pet battles works great for me. Thank you!
I used to use FuBar, but it seems to be broken anymore. I had plug ins to tell me the time, latency, how much gold all my toons had, what state my armor was in, how much experience to the next level and an estimate of the time to the level, the coordinates of my location, and how many items were in my bags and how much space I had left in them. Are there similar plugins for Bazooka?
Hello,
Take a look at the "Obtaining Plugins" section of the documentation above. If you want to gather plugins only from curse, check this link: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/categories/data-broker.aspx
Here're some plugins I used:
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/broker-uclock
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/broker-currency
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/broker_durabilityinfo
These I didn't use, but are probably do what you need:
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/broker_baginfo
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/travelagent
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/xto-level
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/stat-block_latency

Thanks!
Nice post .. you helped me too
I use to use FuBar and with it being what it is and some of its addons being what they are I had to find an alternaitve which I did with Bazooka. However, I would like to reqest a feature be added to Bazooka that FuBar has. Center alignment... is this somethin you could maybe look at doing plese ?
Hi,
Bazooka has left, right, center, center-left and center-right alignment for plugins. Just drag the plugin to the center of the bar (the tooltip will indicate where the plugin will be placed when you "drop" it) or change its position from the plugin options.
cheers,
mitch
I tried that and all I can seem to do is left or right ;-/
I'll check it again next time I play.
