So, there's maps that are not inside "map/workshop" folder, so its id can't be obtained using its path, for example Dust 2: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile.../?id=125438255

You can see it's the official map on workshop, its id is in its link, but how can I get it using code?

If there was a function, it would be something like this:

void GetMapId(const char[] map, char[] id, int maxlength)

Parameters
const char[] map
Map name (usually same as map path relative to maps/ dir, excluding .bsp extension).

char[] id
Buffer to store the map's id.

int maxlength
Maximum length of string buffer.

Not that I have a solution for this, but wouldn't an int be a better fit for this function?

I think so, only if there’s 64bit ids, then we would need large int or strings to store them...

Would be something like that:

int GetMapId(const char[] map)

Parameters
const char[] map
Map name (usually same as map path relative to maps/ dir, excluding .bsp extension).

Then if it outputs -1, means that the map couldn’t be found.

...but you don't need to install this from the workshop as it's shipped with the game.

I know, I just gave the example of Dust 2 to show that, using its link, it’s possible to get the map id. The problem is that I need to get it in my plugin, so I can use it for other stuff...
