Hey,
This post is a little overdue. There are some rather inhibiting bugs currently existing in the faction perms for the Gendarmerie Nationale de Dementlieu faction. One the biggest off the tip of my tongue has to do with the commanding of NPCs. As it stands currently, there are only three members of the faction, at best who can do so. Everyone else, despite being hit with the faciton tool and taken to the appropriate rank, do not receive the option in their dialogue boxes from the faction tool, to be able to command NPCs. As this report hasn't shown up for the Vallaki Garda, La Theatre de la Cathedrale or the Red Vardo factions, all of whom have bodyguard/follower associates you can command, I am forced to assume this is unique to our faction. In addition, when entering into faction-only areas within the Gendarmerie, it will try to equip random items in your inventory automatically sometimes. At times, this forces me to wear a banked-stored item like my Gendarme Breastplate, if I'm wearing my normal uniform, or my uniform if I'm wearing my breastplate. It also randomly forces me to wear my hood, and unequips random jewelry items, like amulets and belts for reasons I can't discern.
The biggest issue currently is the possession of faction NPCs, as low as rank 1 should allow you to command a single Gendarme, then Rank 2 should allow doubles, then as far as I can tell, rank 3 and higher allows 3 Gendarmes, which is what currently Laurette Elise Trelliard and Joachim von Schrötter can command. In the past, DM Drekavac was able to help one of our faction members get their permissions working with what he claimed was a workaround, but since then, the bug has persisted for old and new members alike, which prevents us from patrolling as often as we should with some of our more lower-level members.
