First, what version are you using? Second, you would need to paste the full error message(s) with stack trace if there is any.
@jackdh
All data is stored in the plugin's data folder, which just like all other plugins is in the plugins folder. So: /plugins/Factions/
@LoliMadit
In 1.6.x you can enable friendly fire in WarZones, or keep Factions from paying attention to PvP at all in specific worlds (as per the user guide). In 1.7.x you can set a faction flag to enable friendly fire in any territory, whether Wilderness, WarZone, SafeZone, or default for all factions.
@Adzter
Sorry, that's a global setting. There's no way to get it to only work for a specific faction.
@pixel0fdeath
I'm not sure I understand. I used GroupManager on my own server along with Essentials and had no problems.
@MarkehMe
Definitely could be done. I'm not personally going to do so, but a reasonably well put together pull request for it should be accepted.
@XxEaglezxX
In 1.6.x, there's a setting for that in WarZones and you can also disable power loss in specific worlds. In 1.7.x, there's a faction flag for that.
@bladedpenguin
Factions uses the standard Bukkit-provided Player.teleport(Location location) method.
@HavenOfKairos
I'll assume you're using a stable 1.6.x release since 1.7.5 alpha doesn't default to inserting the faction tag into chat. So:
/f config chatTagEnabled false

Posted May 26, 2012Whatever method Factions uses fro teleport does not seem to be cancelable. I can't seem to use PreciousStones deny-teleport field flag to cancel /f home.

Olof has removed the faction+ally chat feature when rewriting our chat support, in order to keep Factions from interfering with chat management done by other plugins. Sorry, but it likely won't be coming back as an integrated feature. He did write in a HeroChat channel system to add the functionality back if you're using HeroChat (as per our changelog).
@QuadSlayer
Can be done in 1.7.x.
@asle123
As an admin/op you can temporarily join their faction (with factions.join.any permission) and just use /f home.
@UnitedFactions
Nothing happens immediately. It only prevents members from joining if the faction is at or above the limit, it doesn't remove existing members.
@Byrkoet
Our source along with all updates is on GitHub.
@polo3400
If it were my server, such a blatant act would earn a ban since I wouldn't want such players on my server. Maybe it's just me.
@awesomebilly
I'll assume you're using 1.7.x, though you didn't specify. I'll copy my response to someone else who had the same question:
SafeZone and WarZone permissions do not exist in the 1.7 builds. SafeZones and WarZones have been reworked to be configurable like standard factions and vice versa using new faction flag and faction perm systems.
One way to handle it in 1.7.x would be to change the faction perms for SafeZones to allow normal members to claim territory (since they normally don't have any members):
/f perm safezone territory member yes
You can then give those members the factions.join.any permission so that they can join any faction. They will be able to join the SafeZone faction when they need to claim land for it.
The same process works for WarZones as well.
@UnitedFactions
Tested, can't duplicate, and there is no reason in the source it would allow that to happen. Creeper explosions are not prevented in WarZones by default ("warZoneBlockCreepers": false), so I'm guessing you probably don't actually have that setting changed.

The only way is there, I have creeper explosion deny on both safezone and warzone, what is going on ? :) Please tell me

Posted May 21, 2012Hey guys,
When I give the factions managesafezone and factions manage warzone permissions my players cannot edit the area until I give them factions.admin (f bypass)
What am I missing?
