I'm basically using this add-on as a lightweight version of Reputation Guide as my UI hides 99% of functionality in that add-on.

I've configured PrettyReputation to print a message like this:

Reputation with Iskaara Tuskarr increased by +100. (Total: +100, Left: 4987) 

Would it be possible to offer an option to colour the entire message using Blizzard's default reputation text colour?

Yes I'm old and resistant to change so I want to replicate the old functionality 😂

I have been thinking about including the TAG [standingColor] that would do exactly this.

The issue is that Blizzard requires a closing escape code "|r" for color definition "|cAARRGGBB". I could rewrite the TAG engine, or do you think it would be too much of a hassle to include some kind of TAG that will "close" the color change, like [standingColorEnd]? The starting TAG would then be [standingColorStart].

The pattern for your message would read something like this:

[standingColorStart]Reputation with [c_name] [signText] by [change]. (Total: [session], Left: [toGo])[standingColorEnd]

I will also have to make the TAG signText for "increased" and "decreased" as well :-) :-)

Thanks for a suggestion.

I have just committed the above changes to master.

If you are fine with my proposed idea of two enclosing TAGs, then it should be ready. This change should also fix the Blizzard color scheme issue.

I have even added a group of TAGs called [standingNext]. They are not as versatile as the ones in the Reputation Guide addon, as they only work for normal progression, renown, and paragon factions. Additionally, I haven't yet coded in conditional text like "[{by }standingNext]" that will display the text in {} only if the TAG returns something. Nonetheless, they may still be useful. :-)

If you are willing to try it, it would be marvelous. Thank you in advance, and have a nice day.

I'll try it out after work today, thank you for the speedy turn-around 😄

I think that's totally fine, this is entirely optional only for people who want their rep messages to stand out more from the normal addon messages that are all white 😄

Okay, I have been coding a bit and added optional prefixes and suffixes so that the message could be as close to the one generated by the Reputation Guide:

Reputation with Iskaara Tuskarr increased by +100. (Total: +100, Left to Renown29: 4987)

The pattern for that message should be something like this:

[standingColorStart]Reputation with [c_name] [signText] by [change]. (Total: [session], Left[{ to }[standingNext]: [toGo])[standingColorEnd]

It will ignore the [{ to }[standingNext] if it can't find the next reputation rank (for all those Chromies and Cobalt Assemblies).

Code is commited to master and if it passes your tests, I will then release it as a beta on Curse.

Thank you very much for your help.

Will test in ~2 hours and get back to you, thank you 😄

No hurry, it seems we are in completely opposite time zones.

The colour works, but there might have been a copy/paste error with the tags because the output in chat was:

[06:53:59 PM] Reputation with Dragonscale Expedition increased by +220. (Total: +330, Left[{ to }[standingNext]: 6213) 

Should it be

[standingColorStart]Reputation with [c_name] [signText] by [change]. (Total: [session], Left[{ to }[standingNext]]: [toGo])[standingColorEnd]

instead?

Nope, that doesn't seem to be it either. I tried both with [{ to }[standingNext]] and { to }[standingNext] and neither works for me.

[07:26:43 PM] Reputation with Valdrakken Accord increased by +28. (Total: +28, Left to Paragon 2: 4137) 

Works, thank you!

I can go kill some stuff in Cobalt Assembly until I get a rep drop to see if it works there too 🙂

Yep. There is an error. I just wrote it in the chat withour trying it. It should be:

[standingColorStart]Reputation with [c_name] [signText] by [change]. (Total: [session], Left[{ to }standingNext]: [toGo])[standingColorEnd]

[{ to }standingNext] insted of [{ to }[standingNext] (the open bracket before standingNext should not be there :-)

[07:31:37 PM] Reputation with Cobalt Assembly increased by +21. (Total: +21, Left: 1967)

Works, thank you!

Nice! I will post a new beta on curse. As fast as I kill all the rares on the new island :-)
