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).
/bazooka togglebars- Toggle hidden/visible state of bars. If no bar numbers are specified, then it works on the marked bars (see bar options).

Posted Jul 28, 2017Fixed, if one login is any evidence (and it should be because it was 100% consistent). Awesome!
Addendum: I missed some less obvious problems in that initial observation. Some brokers on the Marked bars are succeeding at remaining clickable and mousable(?): brokers for the addons Auctioneer and Rematch are examples of this. I am still forced to manually toggle the Marked bars to deal with these renegades.
My theory is that it's a UI and addon init and timing issue, possibly made worse by how many addons I am using; there is typically one or more brief freezes in the UI as everything gets initialized. The fix that was applied to make most of the brokers and the bars themselves behave might need to be delayed perhaps 10 seconds, or reapplied several times periodically, to bring these scofflaw brokers into line. Why do I seem to be the only person reporting this issue?

Posted Aug 19, 2017If you are such a perfectionist you should design your own Data Broker Display.
It is easy to spot minor nuisances when you haven't sweated days on end building the code. Also, it is easy to pop up numerous ideas on "what the problem" is and what you think the solution is.
It is clear you believe yourself to be an intelligent individual. If the Spock cameo wasn't enough, you actually used the word "Addendum". Really?:)
Again, you think you are so clever? Get your ass off the pedestal and start writing some code.

Posted Aug 20, 2017I think I fixed the remaining issues in v2.8.3, although I couldn't test your scenario fully...

Posted Jun 18, 2017Hmm - tried updating to v2.8.1 - still nothing. I've disabled all other addons, still nothing. This is the most peculiar failure I can recall. Bazooka is in the right place, it is up-to-date, and yet Warcraft simply doesn't see it. It is not as if it were disabled, or somehow blocked... In Warcraft, accessing Addons shows all others, but as a menu item Bazooka itself is not there. For that matter, Broker_Currency doesn't appear either. I've completely removed both Bazooka and Broker_Currency and reinstalled them; they still don't appear in Blizzard/Warcraft in-game addons list. Nothing. It is almost like Blizzard itself is watching for those names and blocking them, or some sort of crazy loss of knowledge about directories has happened. I'm still experimenting atm, perhaps will load a different Data Broker and see if I can get, like, anything of that sort to work. Thanks for looking at it sir, it really is a crazy problem.

Posted Jun 19, 2017I didn't have time to personally test it, but other users report that Bazooka works for them fine. Try completely removing the Bazooka and Bazooka_Options folders and unzipping again from the latest release.

Posted Jul 14, 2017If you've been manipulating the addon folders in ..\Addons directly, I suppose it's possible that you might have accidentally changed the folder permissions to make them inaccessible to WoW itself for one or more file operations (read, write, inspect, etc.).

Posted Jun 17, 2017Blizzard update today 6/17/2017 - after incorporating the update Bazooka no longer answers the helm... /bazooka. Seems to be gone. Hence also Broker_Currency missing. Any ideas out there?

Posted Apr 10, 2017Not sure if this is a bazooka issue but , there seems to be a conflict between this addon and mr fish. I have already left a post on his site . what happens .. when mr fish button on the bazooka bar is pressed it equips a fishing pole and casts all this is normal.
after casting the mr fish on screen button fades out. at that time three red messages pop up on screen stating you cant do that right now. disabling the bazooka bar removes this behavior. also fishing with out a pole equppied also removes this behavior. i have been able to replicate this several times with only mr fish and bazooka loaded , everything else disabled. if you have any thoghts on this i would be grateful for your insight.
Thank you

Posted Apr 11, 2017My best bet is that Mr Fish is invoking a secure/protected function. This is not supported by Bazooka.

Posted Jan 20, 2017When combined with Leatrix Plus, the minimap is not pushed down. I'm guessing you use the zone name bar at the top of the minimap as an anchor of sorts? Leatrix removes that, so the minimap ends up being partly covered by the broker bar.

Posted Jan 21, 2017Bazooka is using LibJostle to move the blizzard frames, try raising the issue there (or move the minimap manually, if possible).

Posted Dec 6, 2016I have come across a few addons that I use, e.g. Flaskcheck & GuildLottery, where their buttons remain at the Minimap location and don't get added to the Bazooka bar. Is there a way to force them, or how can these be incorporated?

Posted Dec 7, 2016I've looked at the Flaskcheck addon, and it doesn't seem to be an LDB addon at all, it probably handles the minimap icon for itself. Try asking the author to modify the addon to use LDB (https://www.wowace.com/projects/libdatabroker-1-1).

Posted Nov 7, 2016It is normal that the bars disappear during the pet battle, but they should come back after the pet battle ends...
