Overview

I am currently overhauling FactionAlert to be called ActionAlert. I will be adding support for more plugins (such as WorldGuard and Towny) to it.

FactionAlert is a fairly simply plugin that will alert players of various actions. Currently, it is in the Release stage, but I plan to add much more functionality to it in the future and some current functionality may change drastically. Currently, FactionAlert allows you to configure alerts for players walking or teleporting into faction land and a member of a faction dying. You can also display a faction members faction in their nameplate.

Since I am a bit swamped with schoolwork right now, I don't have the time to extensively test every aspect of FactionAlert. If you find a bug, please report it and I will fix it as fast as I can.

FactionAlert depends on the latest version Factions.

Features

• Completely configurable
• Alerts factions of specific actions done to them, including teleporting or walking into land, combat engagements, and member death.
• Can place a player's faction in their nameplate with a configurable format
• Automatic update checking
• Permissions to exempt players from alerts
• Commands to exclude yourself from receiving alerts

Metrics

FactionAlert collects basic metrics through Hidendra's MCStats. These metrics include, but are not limited to,

• A unique identifier
• The server's version of Java
• Whether the server is in offline or online mode
• The plugin's version
• The server's version
• The OS version/name and architecture
• The core count for the CPU
• The number of players online
• The Metrics version

These are collected to help me get a better feeling of who is using FactionAlert. I use this data to provide more relevant updates. You can opt-out of these metrics through the Metrics config located in plugins/Plugin Metrics/config.yml.

Version Checking

FactionAlert automagically checks for new versions by querying the curse plugin database. This allows FactionAlert to tell you when a new version is available so you don't have to check yourself. You can opt-out of this by setting "Version Check" to false in the config.yml.

Configuration

An in-depth walk through of the configuration can be found on the wiki. You can find the page here.

API

FactionAlert contains an API that allows developers to get into the inner working of the alert systems and do whatever they please. An explanation of the API can be found on the wiki. You can find the page here.

To Do

• All-in-one. That's right, there will no longer be two versions. In testing
• More integration (If you have a plugin you would like FactionAlert to "hook into", just ask)

Your Feedback Is Appreciated

Since FactionAlert is in it's Beta stage, I strongly encourage anyone that uses this plugin to give me ideas of what to add. (I might even be so grateful as to list you as a contributor to the project ;) ).
