I was looking at it the other day and ran into a dead end. Thought it might be a good idea to ask.

From what I read here the player factions are set in the .kv file for the map. Would anyone know of a way of detecting it on map start rather than just fetching a player's current model to figure it out?

I guess if you're unable to set it you're probably not able to detect it either but I thought it best to ask around, just in case.

Read the maps kv file using the KeyValues API

I believe it's packed into the map file so not directly accessible. de_ali still has a .kv file left in the maps folder and I'm able to read from that but I think that may have just been missed when Valve changed the way .kv files were stored.
