Bazooka

Table of Contents

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

/bazooka: Open configuration.
/bazooka locked: Toggle locked/unlocked state.
/bazooka hidebars: Make the bars hidden. If no bar numbers are specified, then it works on the marked bars (see bar options).
/bazooka showbars: Make the bars visible. If no bar numbers are specified, then it works on the marked bars (see bar options).
/bazooka togglebars: Toggle hidden/visible state of bars. If no bar numbers are specified, then it works on the marked bars (see bar options).

9.0.1 fix.

Bazooka.lua line 724 add "BackdropTemplate" parameter to the frame creation

self.frame = CreateFrame("Frame", "BazookaBar_" .. id, UIParent, "BackdropTemplate")

Thank you for the info.

However, opening a lua file with notepad, wordpad or Writer doesn't show me any line numbers so i don't know where to put this tbh, i don't know which lua-editor to install to make the line numbers visible either.

Thanks or the additional info whomever is going to give it to me

Is mouseover on some of the broker plugins still broken, or is it just me?
