Search Faction ID

[gravypod]

I would like to have a "/search_faction_id" command. Something that can be used to find the faction ID of a faction using it's name.

For instance: there is a faction on a server called "Borg" and it's faction id is 1


"/search_faction_id Borg" would print something that indicates that the faction ID is "1".

These are not the numbers you are looking for. *waves with one hand*

That would work... if my factions list was as small as that one. Opening mine takes a few moments. Trying to do it in StarMote results in an instant crash.

This also does not help with automation/scripting I, and many other servers, need to do.

I just thought you had missed that part of the faction hub and at least it's something.

You do know you could technically attempt to parse the factions.fac file, even if that may not be the best way.

It do know that, and that is what I currently tried to do. Stuff doesnt work too well on new factions. Server restart is required.

*cough* first time i think running a small server is not a bad idea. No need to think about those APIs or whatever

Might mean something to you, schema once told me the faction file is stored in a TAG format.

Indeed.
