It won’t interfere with such gadgets. If you’re expecting FactionFriend to be able to do what it does to the Blizzard builtin reputation bar with other addons you might use in place of such… it’s not feasible to go hooking everything that displays a status bar (which may or may not indicate faction).

Authors of other addons which display faction bars are welcome to make use of FactionFriend’s ability to calculate potential reputation gain from turnins. Here’s the function to use:

totalPotential, reportLines = FFF_GetWatchedFactionPotential(withReport)

  • totalPotential: total potential reputation gain for the watched faction (e.g. if you’re watching The Aldor, and have 10 [Mark of Sargeras] and 2 [Fel Armament]s, this value will be 950).
  • reportLines: summary of available turnins (as seen in FactionFriend’s tooltip for the Blizzard reputation bar), returned if you pass a value for the withReport parameter. (Omit the parameter to speed up calculation a bit.)

For now, it operates on the watched faction (as set by the “Show as Experience Bar” setting in Blizzard’s reputation window) only; future releases will allow calculating potential rep gain for any faction.
