Searching for a faction in all sides configs is not a good idea since there could be factions with identical class name for multiple sides.

And another update because I can't just leave things alone, I've got a workaround for the second issue I posted above. The WL variables can be modified at runtime, which means with a few scripts set to run after the WLinit, you can work past these issues:

I've also found an additional "issue" (more like a NTH feature) for mods where you want to use an independent faction as Blufor or use an Opfor faction as Independent etc (IFA3 this time)
