Ara Broker Reputations Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: r14

by: Aranarth, altelulex

This data broker plugin keeps track of your watched faction and displays a Blizzard-like faction list: colored bars in tree view mode that show standing (ie: Honored) and switch to raw numbers (ie: 2400/12000) when mouse hovered. You can access the config menu by right-clicking the block.

It does pretty much what Broker Factions does with the following additions:
- Can represent the watched faction with an ASCII bar.
- Can sort by reputation level (thx to Neorgia)
- Can watch hidden factions.
- Colors are editable.

It has been designed with efficiency in mind: fast and lightweight, yet feature full.

Click a header (white entry) to expand or collapse.
Click a faction to "watch" it. (Alliance Vaguard and Horde Expedition are special cases and require a shift+click to be watched.)
Middle-Click a faction to move it to actives/inactives.
Right-Click a faction to copy its info in chatbox.

Collapsed headers are saved across session (with the exception of inactive factions that are automatically collapsed by Blizzard at login).

This plugin supports AddonLoader (delayed loading), Skinner and SharedMedia (limited).

Credits: Broker Factions (Tristanian) for options and color coding ideas.

r14
- updated TOC to patch 5.3

r13
- updated TOC to patch 5.2
- implemented option to sort by reputation level (code by neogia ... thx)
- removed green squares in setup menu

r12
- fixed: auto switch with double bonus by "Grand Commendation" did not work

r11
- fixed: auto switch was not taking into account the "Except for guild reputation" option and forced unwanted switch.

r10
- added an option (set by default) to use TipTac skin (requires TipTac).
- fixed: auto switch not detecting guild faction since 4.1.
- fixed: if auto switch on reputation gain except for guild reputation is set, and the watched faction is your guild, and you earn guild rep, it was not updating the display.
- fixed: scrolling a huge panel made the top 1-3 entries to overlap.
- fixed: having no watched faction could result in weird numbers.
- updated config menu layout to match 4.1 changes.

r9
- Added an option to ignore guild reputation gain when auto switch is enabled, preventing guild faction from shadowing another faction.

r8
- Fixed hardcoded fonts: should now be compatible with all languages.

r7
- Added support for guild reputation tracking. (untested but r7 is my lucky version!)
- Added "Ctrl+MouseWheel to resize tooltip" and an option to manually set a precise value.
- Added possibility to unwatch a faction: simply toggle it.

- Fixed screen height calculations to determine max number of factions to show before using a scroll bar.
- Improved config menu.

- Fixed the right-click functionality that copies faction informations to the chat edit box.
- Changed the default background a bit.

r5
- Added "iconCoords" for LDB displays that handle it.
- Added support for MMOUI Minion.
- Removed unnecessary Skinner and SharedMedia optional dependencies, it was also creating Skinner problems. (Credits goes to Jncl).

- Fixed "Auto switch on reputation gain" to ignore negative reputations.
- Fixed an error that was occuring with exalted watched factions.
- Added an option to show "reputation to go" on the block.

- Right-Click a faction to copy informations to chatbox.

Aranarth A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 14 File comments: 394 Uploads: 7	Right now I don't feel like thinking, so I will ask you to do it for me. @imthedci: The zone to faction link is interesting; but right now I don't see how to implement the UI for an option without resorting to a huge config file (I like simle menus ); so, what if I hardcode those links, are there undesirable effects ? For exemple: Deepholm --> therazan, Uldum --> Ramkahen, Twilight highlands --> Dragonmaw/AllianceCounterpart, Vash'ir --> Earthen Ring, Hyjal --> Guardians... @SannaSK: About zone/faction links, why on a per char basis ? What could possibly differ between 2 chars ? @Itonohito & Movarrin: About the update issue, is it a problem were it doesn't switch to the faction and/or a problem were the already watched faction doesn't update its display ? What language is using your WoW client ? In case it's not english, can you display the result of Code: /run print(FACTION_STANDING_INCREASED) Last edited by Aranarth : 01-13-11 at 07:55 AM.

Re: Repo not updating?

I don't know, why, but it doesn't update reputation "on-the-fly" on the LDB bar. For example, after I've turned some quest, that gives repo, I don't see changes in the broker bar. I can see correct information in faction list when I hover mouse though. But to change data for tracked faction on bar, I need to turn tracking this faction off and on again.

Where am I wrong?

I'm using Bazooka myself and I too sometimes get the failure to update bug. I have to track something else and then go back to the faction I want to track. Most times that will fix the issue.

LDB is like the new Fubar. __________________ There is absolutely no evidence to support the theory that life is serious.

BeKay A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 21 Uploads: 0	A suggestion, if I may. I would love a simple (?) addition with regards to guild rep tracking. Tracking the weekly cap of the guild rep, would it be possible to add an icon to the Ara Rep display which changes based on reaching the weekly cap, eg. green light icon while guild rep is gained, then turns red till rep is once more earned..? Might even be worth just making a separate addon for guild rep tracking, now that I think about it.

SannaSK A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 25 File comments: 22 Uploads: 0	Found this addon from this year-old thread: http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=29304 I've been desperately holding on to FactionsFu, terrified it would die beyond resurrection with no hope of me finding a fix or a replacement. Thank you so much for making this practically perfect addon. And it's LDB to boot! Fits right into ChocolateBar with zero hassle. What more could a rep-grinder want? If you ever happen to implement the link-faction-to-zone bit (preferably on a per-char basis), that would be a plus and I would definitely use that feature. But even without that, thanks a hundred times over for making this \o/

imthedci A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 6 Uploads: 0	One small request Ever since BC I've been using FactionsFu, but with the 4.0.1 release, FuBar finally died. So I've been using this time to switch over to Data Broker stuff and found replacements for pretty much everything. This addon is perfect, (here it comes ) except for missing one feature of FactionsFu. In it you were able to mark factions to watch depending on what zone you are in. I really liked that feature and wondered (not sure of the difficulty involved) if you could try to add that to your addon. Thanks

I saw your issue, went on beta server to check, didn't notice anything wrong, but forgot to mention it here, sorry.

As you noticed on 4.03 live, it works fine. Not sure why the Cat Beta made it weird, but now it doesn't matter.

Aranarth, just a FYI that the ASCII colours don't seem to work on the Cataclysm Beta. No error report, and all the information is there like current rep, rep to go, session gained, etc.

The display just reverts back to the bland Blizzard colours, no matter what I check in the options.

In other random news, ever since finding this addon, it has been my Broker rep plugin of choice since WoTLK, as in BC I was using FuBar stuff. You have done an amazing job with this, and thank you!

Without changing anything, it works fine on 4.03a live, so maybe it was just an issue on the Beta.
