Reputation Organizer Mod Help (1st Mod)

[Lerlerson]

I've decided to delve into the world of mod-developing, assuming I do slightly well. What I'm trying to do is re-make, kind of, the Reputation bar. Simply, not much will be changed besides factions in the 'Others' category going into their own category. (E.G. To an Alliance player, Horde factions would end up in a 'Horde forces' category, as we don't have that but the Horde do.) Now, I'm assuming this is do-able because of mods like Extended Quest Log, thats fine, but a thought occurs to me. Does WoW itself (the server) sort out the factions? If not, where would I find the factions and such in the FrameXML folder?

Yes, it's actually the client which sorts out the factions but in any case, the FrameXML doesn't do any sorting into categories. It uses the function:


name, description, standingId, bottomValue, topValue, earnedValue, atWarWith,
canToggleAtWar, isHeader, isCollapsed, isWatched = GetFactionInfo(factionIndex)


Where isHeader is true. Also if you notice, the client also decides automatically whether the category is collapsed or hidden and some other stuff.
