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.

Hi,
I've added support for overriding the tooltip scale. You can try it in the r156 alpha. It's very much drycode (that is, I haven't tested it yet). It's a per-plugin configuration option.

I've added support for disabling LibDBIcon (that is responsible for most of the minimap icons). It's drycoded (not tested) but you can try it out if you download the latest alpha from wowace.

Hello! This is a very cool addon, but I can't figure out how to increase tooltip's scale of the plugins? It's too tiny :/
thx
I use Broker_uClock (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/broker-uclock.aspx) for the clock. I used to have a location mod, too, but I can't seem to find it now ;)
I'll drop a note when I come across it again...

TomTom has a zone/coords feed and there's Broker_Location (both are up on wowinterface.com), try those.

Try http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/stat-block_fps.aspx. It hasn't been updated, but I guess it works fine (if you change the version number to 40000 or enable out-of-date addons).

Other than that, thanks for your work. :)
Tooltips are handled by the default GameTooltip or by the plugins themselves, Bazooka has no control over that. You can get most of the tooltips the way you like by installing a tooltip addon such as TipTop which let you customize the default tooltip.

i seems to have lose a lot of fps, how can i find out which addon done this working with bazooka ?
cheers,
mitch
My guess would be you have some other broker display installed besides bazooka (like Fortress). Try disabling all addons but Bazooka and Broker_uClock and check if it's still duplicate.
