yea, ive been looking arount a bit. we can fix this:
we need to skip the bukkit version check. it worked for towny, in wich you can do that in the config. so if factions could do that as well, it should work.

Posted Jun 3, 2012I am confused with factionChatFormat §a%s§f %s, I am very much aware § cannot be typed so I was "assuming" a replacement of & would work in-game, the command got me a result of &a(Leader)Wingzzz&f hello there <- when typing in game. &a is white while (Leader)Wingzzz&f and the text "hello there" are light blue (the 9).
Now i've tried my best to figure out the option in the config "factionChatFormat": "%s:§f %s", using §, although I am unable to understand. I was hoping you could help me.
I am looking to make when typing in faction chat §9(Leader)§fWingzzz: §7(msg) So of course (Leader) is light blue, Wingzzz is white, and the message is light gray.
I would like to change alliance chat as well, but one thing at a time.
Help on this would be much appreciated, i'm assuming this could be done, if not it is good to know. This has always been the one and only thing I have not understood about factions unfortunately.
Anyways long question, sorry. -Wingzzz

I'm not the developer and haven't used this in a long time, but I believe you can do that by making a SafeZone around the spawn.

Posted Jun 2, 2012@Brettflan I read the complete changelog, but it just says that it supports herochat, not how it works.
And is it possible to disable powergain in some areas? The Problem is that the players are camping the spawn to regain their power.

Posted Jun 1, 2012I only find limited information on 1.7.5. I have looked through pages and pages of comments looking for information on the flags and zone configuration. Is there a page that lists the different ones and information on these specific features?

so is my question answered?
summary
if i cannot turn off safezonedenyusage for fear of firecharge damage in safezone, then is there any way for my players to use buckets in safezone but not in anothers faction land?
basicaly no there is no way to allow buckets in safezone but not on faction land unless i also allow firecharge?
or is there a way and your telling me that is what is burried somewhere in the comments or posts of this thread faq or etc?
cause if your saying there is no way to do it why i need bother searching through all the posts to find that out?

Posted Jun 1, 2012Most recent questions are answered in the FAQ above, or in the change log for the release being used (presumably 1.6.8 stable or 1.7.5 beta), or in the user guide.
A large portion of the rest have been answered in this comments section before.

Posted Jun 1, 2012i would like players on my server to be able to place lava/water buckets in a safezone, but NOT in faction land especialy when faction is offline
anywhere i have a safezone i also have worldguard regions so i can control who will do what in safezones that way.
however the only way im able to have lava and water buckets turned on in safezone is territoryDenyUseageMaterialsWhenOffline
cause i guess factions plugin considers safezone to be an offline faction
i first tried territoryDenyUseageMaterials and it would not allow it till i did the offline setting also,
is there any way for my players to use buckets in safezone but not in faction land?

Around line 162 you need to add Chest to protected materials.

A 'chunk' is predetermined by Minecraft and is a 16x16 area that stretches from sky limit to bedrock. Chunk positions are also preset in Minecraft as a way to load large maps more efficiently. Factions simply uses this in order to control land claiming. There is no config option to adjust it.

Posted May 30, 2012After looking at 1.7.5, it seems as though many things are being removed from 1.6. Most importantly the control for on/offline protection and how long a faction has to be offline to be considered 'offline' and also the individual switch/door/button/triggers controls that are present in 1.6.
This all of that getting removed or am I just not seeing it in the right place?
