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

Posted Jul 27, 2016I found out how to recreate the bug with the minimap, buffs and target portrait not moving below the Bazooka bar.
When you start up or do a reloadui, everything is fine.
But when you take a teleport, like hearthstones, the UI gets messed up and the items are not moved down.
I hope someone got the skills to fix it :)

Posted Jul 31, 2016I'll have to take a look at LibJostle once I get back from vacation. This is the addon responsible for moving the various Blizzard frames, and it hasn't been updated in a while now, guess this patch broke it a bit...

Posted Jul 23, 2016Not sure if it's Bazooka's problem, but the minimap and buffs are no longer moved down below the Bazooka bar in 7.0.
The bar now partly covers the buffs.

Posted Jul 26, 2016Doesn't work for me anymore, The minimap/buffs stay up behind the Bazooka bar.
EDIT: I actually got a few chars, where it IS working, so I'm guessing that it must be some sort of addon conflict that prevents the moving on certain chars.

Posted Jan 31, 2016Is there any problem with aura frame? It seems that Bazooka does not push the auras lower while having no problem with for example user frames. So all my buffs are half under top bar. "Adjust frames" toggled.

Posted Feb 4, 2016Hello,
The frame adjustment is handled by LibJostle, which has not been updated for a while now, it's possible that the aura frames are not handled correctly. Try using an aura frame replacement that lets you move the auras.

Posted Oct 28, 2015Im trying to customize the width of the bar but its greyed out for some reason. Anyone have any suggestions? When I had Mayron UI when i created a new bar I could resize the width and height to my liking but since im creating my own ui from scratch cant figure out why i cant get the same way

Posted Oct 28, 2015Hello,
The first bar you create is anchored to the top by default, and anchored bars have a fixed witdth (full screen width). Detach the bar (change anchor position to None, or alt-drag the bar), then you can change the width.
You can also change the size of an ancored bar with the "tweak position" settings, but that's not really meant for large adjustments.
cheers,

Posted Apr 21, 2015Since yesterday I've been getting a memory error message with Bazooka and 2 other addons, Bagnon and Bindpad. If I try to load any one of those I get a message that I don't have enough memory and to disable some addons. All my other addons seem to work fine.

Posted Apr 22, 2015Hello,
You're propably seeing this issue with Bazooka, Bagnon and Bindpad because they load first (or among the first) embedding Ace3, a library addon that other addons probably use, too. Since they're the ones first loading Ace3, all of Ace3's memory usage is counted towards these addons. I'm pretty sure Bazooka doesn't have excessive memory requirements. Maybe one of your gathering or other "database" like addons has too big SavedVariables? You can check your SavedVariables under the WTF folder.
Try starting up WoW with just the three addons you mentioned, I guess you won't see the memory issue.

mitch

Posted Apr 28, 2015Thanks for the reply. I just tried loading the game with just Bazooka, all other addons turned off, and I still get the error. Haven't checked the WTF folder but I will soon as I can. Apparently I'm the only one getting this though, haven't seen any other comments on this or the other 2 addons. I'll keep digging see if I can find what the problem is. I may just try deleting all the addons and do fresh install on all them, see if that helps.

Posted Mar 7, 2015Howdy. So I made a plugin for Bazooka that works well in all respects but one.
I'd like it to default to showing the text field. Instead of needing to go into the addon and turn it on myself.
I can't find documentation for this to save my life. Any guidance for what I'm looking for?

Posted Mar 8, 2015Hello,
In the default configuration the "launcher" type plugins have their text disabled. If your plugin displays some meaningful data, then its type should be "data source", not "launcher", that way its text will be displayed on first install.

Posted Feb 25, 2015Thank you for your recent work on Bazooka to allow for toggling bars on and off! The ability to "mark" my bar#2 and then to toggle it on or off via a left-click of the Bazooka plugin's icon is exactly the behavior I was seeking with some of my prior comments.
I put all of my LDB launchers in this second bar, and I keep it hidden for the most part. So it's very nice to be able to show it easily via a simple click.
I appreciate all your hard work in providing this excellent addon!
