The other plugin needs to be updated to use Bukkit's new async chat events instead of the old deprecated synchronous chat events.

Posted Aug 31, 2012After updating from an older factions plugin (1.6.8, I believe) no word/curse filter I've been able to find will work on our server. Does anyone know of a config I can change, or a compatible word filter? (We are currently using Simple Word Filter, and I know it's still active because players catch fire, but words are no longer blocked in chat.)

Again, your problem seems to be triggered by teleporting (not just /f home) which indicates a CraftBukkit problem.
Additionally, nothing has changed in Factions recently as to how /f home works.

Posted Aug 31, 2012It doesn't do it with just the /spawn command. While going from /f home from anywhere you get glitched into a block that isn't there with the wilderness or war zone or safezone or claimed land messages like you are jumping back and forth super fast. I took out homespawnplus which is what I use for spawn and homes and the problem still exists with /f home and Teleporting anywhere. I have never had this issue before with any version of factions. SO I am still waiting to get to 1.3.2 for now.

Posted Aug 31, 2012Factions are simply not working. Ive just installed Factions after re-installing my server. The factions.jar is in the plugins folder and on restart it created a factions folder but with no content. Ive got: mcmmo, essentials, groupmanager, worldedit and other small plugins that I dont think interfere with factions. Please help me figure it out. Ive had problems with factions crashing ever since 1.3

Posted Aug 31, 2012Hi, ive found a conflict plugin with your plugin. Survival Games. As players join an arena in hunger games, they cannot fight thier faction members neither can they attack thier allys. I cannot simply disable survival games because its what most players are playing on the server for. Hope you can add an update to fix this problem. thanks

Come to think of it, I can see how the spawn location for factionless could be set. 1.6.9.1 fixed a bug from earlier releases that would allow people to use /f sethome on other factions, which can extend even to the "Wilderness" faction. Somebody must have done that on your server.
To fix it:
Sorry there's not a simpler way, but that should do it. A warning though, if you're running a version older than 1.6.9.1 someone could set it again.

Posted Aug 30, 2012Factions 1.6.9 and above seems to be messing with my spawn locations. When a player is not in a faction they are teleported to some random location and not the server spawn. (They can still type /spawn and go to the correct location) I can prevent this from happening by setting homesTeleportToOnDeath = false and then players will go to the correct spawn location, but I don't really want to have to do this. The problem is also fixed if I totally remove the factions plugin.
I have also tested by disabling all plugins except commandbook, woldedit and factions and the spawn is still not correct when you die. Hopefully this can be fixed in the next update.

Posted Aug 30, 2012Love the plugin. Just wondering if it would be possible to change a person into Adventure mode quietly when they step into someone else's claimed land. That way, people can't use stupid block pillaring exploits, or door breaking exploits where they can break the door down and hit a lever on the other side before the door pops back into place.

Most likely your chat plugin hasn't been updated to use async chat events, which were implemented in CraftBukkit 1.3.1-R1.0.
@Toxicminers
Sounds like your problem occurred from the /spawn command. Possibly a problem with the plugin which provides that, but far more likely a core CraftBukkit problem.
