Faction Addict
Version: 1.05
by: gmz323 [More]
Description:
Faction Addict is a stand-alone addon that provides additional faction information to your characters working towards faction based achievements. Intended for those players who work on gaining exalted with many factions but also helpful to those that do not. There are in game achievements for being exalted with 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 factions respectively.

Faction Addict also provides a reputation logging system that allows the player to see what reputation gains they have made in the current and previous sessions.

Use slash commands /fa or /factionaddict or click the new button on the upper right corner of your characters reputation panel to open and/or close the addon window.


Usage: (slash commands)
  • /fa
  • /factionaddict
  • *click button* on upper right corder of character's reputation page

Features:
  • Factions - Shows all factions - including those not "known" by your character.
  • Log - Reputation gain logging - shows reputation gains your characters has made in the current and previous sessions.
  • Faction info panel - click on a faction in the addon to see more specific info.
  • Exalted Count - Shows count of exalted factions and how many required for next achievement.
  • Display Ordering - Faction display can be ordered by % to exalted or faction name.
  • Display Filters - Faction display can be filtered by standing, expansion, alliance/horde only.

Coming Soon:
  • Watch panel that will be for use while working toward exalted with a specific faction.
  • Support for localization.

Re: Feature suggestion

Thanks for the suggestions Hentaya!

I will look into what info is available via the api in regards to having some guild level functionality in the addon and consider adding some guild level features to it.

Thanks!

Thumbs up Feature suggestion

Haven't started using it yet, but reading the blurbs make me pretty sure I want to.

One tracking feature that would be useful would be to track the guild achievement for 55 exalted reps. Even BETTER would be if it had a way to figure out if anyone else in your guild (for whatever value of 'anyone else' is accessable to the API level) is closer than you to ones that are needed.

Of course, going the latter way makes one think of lots of features for Guild Achievement Addict. I just haven't gotten around to examining the API for access to guild member info. Right now, my guild on Elune doesn't seem to exist to the Armory, so there's more desire for me to get info via addons.

Re: Re: Whee!

I wasn't able to reproduce the problem reported by Barleduq exactly. Version 1.05 has been released as a best "guess" fix as to what the problem is.

Thanks!

Mind you, I went to hit something, and this popped up. I hadn't touched my character pane at all, never mind the faction pane, or pulling up FA. So no clue what triggered it. I *think* I was mousing over something to click on to target, but things were moving fast and I honestly am not sure.

There were 4 instances of this in Swatter, 2 at each timestamp, but I'm not sure what 'count' means in the fourth line of the listout.

  • The Anglers : The Anglers are a group of Pandaren fisherman that hope to feed their people and grow their knowledge of fishing.

Thanks for the feedback kaisoul. It's not a quick and easy change but I will see what kind of options there are to work around it. It's always a bit tricky passing data from the client back to the OS level (even the clipboard) and those operations are fairly limited.

In the meantime all you need to do is click the faction name again to repopulate the URL field correctly. Any modifications you make to those URL fields are not saved to the addon so nothing to worry about.

Thanks!
Greg

All in love the addon now to figure out some way to try a faction im interested in to make this addon even more usefull for me.

Thanks jaliborc. It has always been a goal for my addons to look like they are part of the default ui.

Newest Addon.

Thanks for checking out Faction Addict. It was partially inspired by my last addon Tabard Addict.

If you run into any issues or have comments and suggestions feel free to leave them here.

Thanks!
