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
/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).

Posted Dec 6, 2010I don't call your Update() directly, only your OnEnter() (or whichever tooltip handling method you implement) and I'm pretty sure I call that only once. I took a quick look at ldb-friends and I see you initialize your tooltip thing the first time it shows, maybe that's where the multiple Update() calls come from?

Posted Nov 20, 2010I tested the profile creation / loading / switching with the latest release, and couldn't reproduce your issue. Try deleting Bazzoka's saved variables from
WTF\Config\Account\<your-account>\SavedVariables\Bazooka.lua
also check that file permissions are set correctly (wow can write that file).

Posted Nov 16, 2010One thing that always pissed me off about fubar was the accidental right click on the bar opening a giant window in the middle of my screen, that cost me several lost arena matches over time. Bazooka truly locks itself in combat.
