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).

That's dope you're willing to fix despite not playing anymore. Hopefully it's not too much of a hassle.

Ty! Would be great if you found the time to update this. None of the others are as good as this one.

Think the options are broken because they have moved, it´s all under options now.

I just want to say you are an absolute legend for continuing to work on these addons despite not playing. Truly truly appreciate it from the bottom of my minimap-button-hating heart.

This is not working even a little bit right now, which makes me sad. Hopefully you'll be able to come up with a fix soon, please and thank you! <3

Please tell me you're going to update this for Dragonflight. I am trying to use Titan Panel and it freaking sucks balls. It's so counterintuitive compare to Bazooka it's insane!

Is there a way to use Bazooka in Dragonflight?

I've tried the PTR and the BETA server, but nothing shows up here anymore.

This was probably caused by an issue in LibDualSpec. I've tagged a new release (2.9.12) to pick up a new version from LibDualSpec, I hope it fixes the issue.

Hi,

Whenever I try to right click Bazooka's bar in the current WOTLK prepatch classic, I get 3 errors. This is with Bazooka v.2.9.11.

It also happens if I go manually to Bazooka's options via esc> interface options.

5x Bazooka_Options\Options-Options.lua:1582: Usage: LibDualSpec:EnhanceOptions(optionTable, target): EnhanceDatabase should be called before EnhanceOptions(optionTable, target).

thanks, updated.

Thank you very much for staying on top of the comments. While Titan Panel is nice, Bazooka is very much preferred! Could you list this as a separate WOTLK Classic so that the Curseforge APP recognizes changes and updates in the LK?

Thanks again!

You mean to create a new Bazooka-classic addon with classic TOC and such? Or is there some other thing to do to flag a specific addon as classic compatible?

Some of the add-ons list a separate file under "Recent Files" such as this one only showing "Retail" such as "WOTLK Classic" or just plain old "Classic" This seems to allow the Curseforge APP to pick up when there are updates for the specific editions of WOW under the managed programs.

To add WOTLK Classic support to Bazooka:

Bazooka.lua:55:

Change:

local IsClassic = (_G.WOW_PROJECT_ID == _G.WOW_PROJECT_CLASSIC) or (_G.WOW_PROJECT_ID == _G.WOW_PROJECT_BURNING_CRUSADE_CLASSIC)

To this:

local IsClassic = (_G.WOW_PROJECT_ID == _G.WOW_PROJECT_CLASSIC) or (_G.WOW_PROJECT_ID == _G.WOW_PROJECT_BURNING_CRUSADE_CLASSIC) or (_G.WOW_PROJECT_ID == _G.WOW_PROJECT_WRATH_CLASSIC)

Offset slider for Adjust Frames.

Hello,

Thank you for this addon, I find it very easy to place plugins where I want them without unexpected side effects.
For a while I was using an addon called Bazooka Aura to place the buff and debuff frames, but I found it uses 5x the CPU compared to Bazooka, so I dropped it.

When I turn on Adjust Frames, it does indeed move the aura frames down but there is no space between the bottoms of the bazooka bar and the top of the aura frame. So I created a 2nd hidden bar (height 15) and placed that below the 1st bar, by doing this I can offset the aura frame by adjusting the height of the 2nd bar and so it's fine.

It would be nice though to have an offset slider as on option on the same tab as the Adjust Frames check box.

Thanks.

Hello,

TBH, the Adjust Frames function is quite flaky as it is, in general my advice is not to use it at all, and replace the affected blizzard frames with addons that are movable by default. That said, the change is minor, so I might do it later. Can't promise a deadline though :)
