Add continent populations #10

Open unit220 opened 2 years ago

unit220 commented 2 years ago

Thought I'd make a suggestion here rather than the reddit thread. Continent populations would be really useful because I often log off if a cont I don't like is the main cont. At the very least, maybe show the open conts?

I'd have to explore the APIs and see if there's anything I can use to determine continent pop, will keep this in mind

Went ahead and did some looking into how it might be done. It seems that it is "possible" to track cont pops but they're only estimations and everyone does their own thing to deduce it. FISU might report them via their own api though, not sure. Somebody in the community discord mentioned that they got their method working by counting experience events and then discarding duplicates and grouping them by zone (e.g. Indar) and faction per zone. I know ps2alerts and voidwell also do it but don't have any info on how.
