[SEC/FUN] Factions 1.8.2 - Guilds, War and user-controlled antigrief [BukkitDev]

Seriously... All the faction leaders are no leaders anymore? Why?

Wrong up/downgrading... This is a irc chat log snippet on how to downgrade faction from 1.7 to 1.6:

Code:

[20:08] <JWhy> back up your players.json and conf.json now
[20:08] <JWhy> delete conf.json (keep backup somewhere else)
[20:08] <JWhy> Open players.json with nPP and use Find+Replace
[20:10] <JWhy> Replace 'LEADER' by 'ADMIN', replace 'OFFICER' by 'MODERATOR'
[20:10] <JWhy> then save this file and start up with 1.6.9 factions
[20:10] <JWhy> backup is important

@Brettflan or @JWhy could you maybe give answer on this questions?

WorldGuard bypass needs to be implemented, access is propably in players.json (sorry, i'm still using 1.6.9) and you can emulate the essentialschat functions for /f chat. Add the methods called by Factions to your fw chat. You should start here:

Yes... i have read about that but... the problem is everyone has a Member role now in my json file -.-

Alright thanks.

Hope brett got a answer on the other questions though.

I think he looks a_lot more often on bukkitdev than on these forums...
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/factions/

Yep that means it's too late^^
No seriously... it could have been avoided with these instructions (i did it wrong too)

will post it there also, thanks.

ofcourse it could have been avoided but why change the plugin in a way that this happens to begin with...

The latest faction update broke a lot of chat plugins. It's frustrating because I can't show prefixes in chat any more so I'm forced to use 1.6.7. Please fix this.

People with chat plugin issues, you should read through Brett's comments on the Factions GitHub issues. It explains how chat has changed. With 1.6.9, you might need to add [FACTION] in your title prefix for public chat. Take some time to read up on the changes and how chat has changed. Also, you might need dev versions of your chat plugins like EssentialsChat, etc.

Brett or anyone else that might know, is there a way either in the config or in the source to make it where if an enemy or neutral faction member is in a Wildnerness chunk, another enemy or neutral faction member can't claim that chunk either through /f claim, /f autoclaim, or /f claim radius?

For example, Warriors and Rebels are enemy factions. KewlDood is in Warriors and LeetKiller is in Rebels. KewlDood is in a wilderness chunk and suddenly LeetKiller drops in on him. How do I make it so they can't claim that chunk for their faction?

This is needed because, on our server, players have to build cannons in Wilderness. TNT is turned off in Wilderness so that the charge doesn't blow up the cannon (we have water protection off) but the payload fires into faction territory and breaks walls. Currently, enemy or neutral faction members can claim the chunk where the opposing players are and the cannon and stop a raid.

I actually had that down as a feature to implement before I stopped actively developing the plugin beyond basic maintenance. It's certainly possible in source.

My permissionsEX prefix goes away when I install the factions plugin and when I remove it from my plugins directory and reboot my server they come back so something with the factions plugin removes my prefix. Does anyone know about this?

"claimedLandsMax": 0, this is a per faction or per player setting?

Very nice plugin man good job but im having a big problem!

I user PermissionsEx and i got chatmanger and its enabled everything was working fine all the prefixes were fine then once i installed factions my prefix went and evereyones name colour went.

Im pretty sure it has something to do with chatmanager!

Chatmanager Config:

enable: true
message-format: <%prefix%player%suffix> %message
global-message-format: <%prefix%player%suffix> &e%message
ranged-mode: false
chat-range: 100.0

Why did you remove /f owner??? please re-add it!

I am running a very neat MineZ type of server with a massive city setup. Using Factions to disable damage to the world basically turning "wildernessDenyBuild": true, on my basic issue is people can not explore buildings and sewers because they can not place torches or open iron doors. I basically need an addition to factions or a plugin that links with Factions over riding the "wildernessDenyBuild": true for certain blocks ie: Torches and Levers but after a while removes those torches or levers if not placed in a faction claimed area. I should basically have a config that looks something like
World:
- world_name
PlaceableBlocks:
- torch
- lever
Blocks Not Protected if not in claimed area:
- torch
- lever
PlaceableBlockTimer:minutes

Type /f help to have a look at the new commands

I hate how people can ally with you, then trick you in to letting them see your base, then they make you an enemy and kill you and take your stuff. That isn't very antigrief.

Thats Why I do not except people as Allies unless they are in our teamspeak

The chat function is messed up now since 1.3.1. Please make factions compatible with herochat.

Has anyone successfully been able to use Factions 1.6.9 with HeroChat 5.6.2?
For example, the faction name doesn't get converted AND chat happens outside of HeroChat unless you specify the channel with a shortcut.

I've tried everything you can imagine with all versions of herochat and factions. There is NO way at the moment. Do not waste your time on it. It's either Herochat or Factions unless the guys @ factions update the compatibility.

At least I'm not the only one. I remember how much of a pain it was to get it to work on CB-1.2 for the first time.

When I 'installed' Factions and said something in chat it was double message. This is because I use Colors too.

Hi, there is a problem with Factions, and is very harmful to my server, it works with authdb and anyone can enter with anyone. (Offline mode).
The thing about the factions is that you can run any command factions, without writing "/" for example, if I type in chat: "/f home" work, go to my home and if I type "f home" without "/ "in front, works the same.
Please, Fix it. Thank you very much for the factions, is a very good plugin.
Greetings.

Here is an issue I just found out:

Using the latest DEV/RB build of herochat it seems that factions completely takes over the chat. The chat plugin doesn't even seem to function with factions..

Latest factions broke A LOT of different chat plugins, please update it so it will be compatible with HeroChat )
