Your configuration (conf.json) would appear to be borked. You've changed the chat configuration and messed something up. That's something you will need to fix.
@qwertyhgfdsaqwertyhgfdsa
Sounds like a bug. I'll note it down, though I don't know when I might have time to look into it.
@Mrcomputeranswers
Is HeroChat updated to use the new AsyncPlayerChat events? I can't help you with HeroChat issues regardless, though I should note that Olof added better integration for HeroChat in the 1.7 branch.
I've tested faction tag display in chat for both 1.6.9 stable and 1.7.6 beta and it's working fine. I've tested both without any other plugins, and with EsssentialsChat integration. I don't have time to test out or help with new problems anyone might have with other chat plugins.

Posted Aug 10, 2012I have just updated to Factions 1.6.9 for 1.3.1R-1.0 and the whole chat gets messed up. I am currently running craftbukkit 1.3.1 R1.0 b2320 and herochat v5.6.0. This is my config for Herochat http://pastebin.com/TLDTuGLc this is my config for our main channel http://pastebin.com/mYZvPzfE Normally the chat would look like this for the rank Owner:[FactionName][Owner][PlayerName] After the factions update the chat looked like this for the Owner rank: <FactionName PlayerName> No configs for HeroChat had changed. The only difference was the factions update. I am running permissionsEx v1.19.3 currently for perm handling.

Posted Aug 10, 2012For Factions 1.7, is there anyway to disable Wilderness protection? For example, if you are in a fight in the Wilderness, you can leave your Faction and receive a damage reduction (you are now considered a member of the Faction Wilderness allowing you to receive the damage reduction).

As I said, the miniscule possibility of a problem would be with 1.7.6, NOT 1.6.9. Again, look to your chat plugin. At a guess I'd say it's not updated for 1.3.1 yet.
@wolfenit415
Actually, what version of CraftBukkit are you running? It almost sounds like you're not running 1.3.1-R1.0. The latest Factions releases are not compatible with older CraftBukkit versions.

Ok so i took out 1.6.9 and went back to 1.6.8 and low and behold chat works perfect now. Also I just checked my emails and noticed a bunch telling me since the update block lag has been tremendously bad. So i checked it out for myself and it was terrible. All has gone back to normal after going back to 1.6.8. Now you may say to yourself make a ticket and throw the errors in there. Well i would but i cant as there is no errors. Something is definitely wrong. Thanks again.

1.6.8 worked fine there was no 1.3 update to the chat manager that i use as of yet and when i take factions out the chat manager handles the prefix/suffix just as it did before. I know nothing of programming but if you say there is a possible small margin of error please check it. I've used this plugin forever and i can't not use it as everything revolves around it. At the same time the chat manager needs to work so that players know admin from mod. I believe it is possible that the fact that the chat manager that i use hasn't updated to 1.3 asynchronous chat may be a problem but it worked fine up until i updated. Thanks for all the time you spend on this plugin and we hope this is resolved.

23:23:09 [INFORMACION] [GoldIsMoney] Using gold for money.
23:23:09 [INFORMACION] [GoldIsMoney] GoldIsMoney has been enabled

I am using MChat and the latest build of factions (1.6.9) breaks the chat. It has no formatting at all. I was previously using 1.6.8 and it was working fine.

Herochat hasn't updated to 1.3 yet. It works fine with 1.6.8 - upgrade to 1.6.9 and it breaks

Posted Aug 10, 2012Chat handling by Factions has not changed in the latest two releases (1.6.9 stable and 1.7.6 beta) beyond the necessary switch to AsyncPlayerChat, though that did require a few more minor changes in 1.7.6 beta which might have a miniscule chance for causing problems. No such further changes in 1.6.9.
Chat has been confirmed working for both latest releases with no chat plugins installed, and also confirmed working while integrated with EssentialsChat. I can't speak for any other chat plugins; perhaps they have changed something on their end?

Posted Aug 10, 2012I seem to be experiencing a issue someone else mentioned. Since i updated factions to the latest stable, and i mean literally right after i turned the server back on my prefix and suffix's from Permissionsex chat manager dissappeared. The only way to bring it back is to take out factions and we know what that means. I could make a ticket but there is no error. Also we cant downgrade which i really wish i would have noticed first.

Honestly, thats why im asking. I move the plugin to my plugins folder. I reload my server, all of a sudden all the warzone/safezone/ faction claimed land are all gone. Also, the commands like /f claim - /f help etc.. Dont work either.

Posted Aug 10, 2012Erm... I'm attempting to run the latest version of Factions on my 3.1.2 Tekkit server. When I attempt to execute a command in game, It doesn't return any text what so ever. I get this error in the console:
10.08 15:08:28 [Server] INFO [Factions v1.6.9] Reset faction data (invalid faction) for player jdawg132
10.08 15:08:28 [Server] WARNING [Factions v1.6.9] Non existing factionId 0 requested! Issuing cleaning!
If you someone could help me, that would be amazing. Thanks.
EDIT: All of the .json's within the factions folder are completely empty with the exception of "{ }"...

Posted Aug 10, 2012Is it possible to use power as economy, example: use power to make a faction?
Since i don't use money or any type economy on my server, i was wondering if its possible to make it so it can cost a certain amount of power to make a faction.

Posted Aug 10, 2012Is the newest beta so buggy?
1. No tags with essentialschat? Am I missing something? 2. Every factionless player, or player in Faction Wilderness, is unattackable "You cannot hurt members of your faction"
Since downgrading does not work, how to fix this o.o

Posted Aug 10, 2012I don't know if this belongs here but I'm just asking anyways because I didn't find anything about it. Which version do I have to take that it works with tekkit because with every version it returned an "Is it up to date?" error and I got a lot of "com.google.gson.internal..." and "com.massivecraft.factions..." and all the other sh?
Edit: it starts with creating the default files but when it tries to create "conf.json" then it fails. "tags.json" already is there but no other file.
