Adding Players by database

[TTAbwill]

It would be great to add players by insert just the player data (or just the name) to table players.

Background: I would like to build a REST API for getting stats. But adding players won't work with config.json.

Hey

We actually are doing that, and just updating the config.json from a separate "include these players" table before the sync. I kept that out of the code because I kinda wanted this to be useable by people even if they don't know SQL, so my current idea is to build a config option into the sync script such that running it lets you add player names and shards rather than doing the actual sync. So something like

python sync.py --configure

Would start an interactive CLI that lets you add or delete players.

What do you think?

Hey there,

great work so far, thank you so much. For me it would be perfect if i could add a player in players table. But the CLI would be good for thoese don't know SQL, you are right.

Make it a config option then, to decide which one to use.

That would be perfect, thank you!
