I mentioned just below that IIRC there is an addon plugin or two by other authors that provide faction chat for 1.7+. From a quick trip to google I saw two likely plugins, "FactionChat" and "FactionsChat", which are both here on BukkitDev. I can't personally vouch for them, but there you go.

@Brettflan Hello there, i have been using this plugin for many years now and have come to hate something about 1.7 and i know alot of other servers will not update because of this aswell. We do not like herochat we would like /f c f, /f c p , /f c a back if possible in 1.7. Thank you

@UnitedFactions

For allowing truce relation to build by default, you would use the command I gave below, just replace "ally" with "truce".
After updating and opening your server once so that the data files can be updated, to swap all currently allied factions to truce instead you could edit your factions.json file and mass replace all instances of "ALLY" (including quotation marks in this case) with "TRUCE".

I already answered below regarding those options.

@Brettflan

Em... Could I make it so that truce has permissions to build?? Or can I remove all allies somehow? /reset to none ally?

And

And these options are all removed? Or just set to standard options now?? ;)

Those 3 options are gone and now do what the defaults were, showing the key and showing all territory regardless of relation.

The other list of options is largely covered by the faction perm (/f perm) and flag (/f flag) systems. The "owned areas" system has also been replaced by a more advanced "access" system which can be applied to any player and any faction, not just players within your own faction.

If you're going to post a list of questions, please at least number them.

"scaleNegativePower": false, - power will regenerate faster when it hits negative numbers
"scaleNegativeDivisor": 40.0, - as above, see here: https://github.com/MassiveCraft/Factions/pull/61
"friendlyFireFromRel": "TRUCE", - this relation level and above are not normally allowed to hurt each other
"claimingFromOthersAllowed": true, - whether claiming territory from other factions is even possible

@UnitedFactions

Allies are allies. They do gain those new abilities in allied territory, but you can change that easily enough if you don't like it for your server. For example to toggle build capability for allies off: /f config factionPermDefaults build ally

Faction chat is removed, yes. A replacement is available through provided HeroChat channels, but you'd need to be using HeroChat. I also understand there's an addon plugin or two available from other authors which add faction chat back IIRC. Can't help you with it beyond that.

Flint&steel is prevented, not sure what or where you read that but it's not true.

Hi brettflan,

Question. what happens when you upgrade from 1.6.9.4 to 1.8? Do your faction allys get converted to faction truces? Or to allies? So that be really bad, because then they can destroy blocks etc. Without knowing that that was possible!

Also, faction chat has been removed? So there are no allience, faction and global chat anymore? Just global? Can I get this back somehow?

I read something about flint and steal working in faction territory? Does this mean people can ignite wool etc? In other people their base?

What are these options about? I can nowhere find a guide about them?
  "scaleNegativePower": false,
  "scaleNegativeDivisor": 40.0,
  "friendlyFireFromRel": "TRUCE",
  "claimingFromOthersAllowed": true,

Are these options gone? /f map will no longer show enemys etc?
  "showMapFactionKey": true,
  "showNeutralFactionsOnMap": true,
  "showEnemyFactionsOnMap": true,

And these options are all removed? Or just set to standard options now?? ;)

Thanks :)

@Brettflan

Is there any way I can contact him? Perhaps he knows more about its use.

@x_clucky

I'm not really sure beyond that, then; the HeroChat integration is Olof's baby, I've never even used HeroChat.

@Brettflan

I don't get it.. I'm using 1.8 and when I do this in herochat:

default: '{color}[{nick}] [factions_tag_pl][factions_tag][factions_tag_pr]{groupprefix}&f[factions_roleprefix]{sender}:{color}{msg}'

it outputs this into chat:

Quote:

[G] [factions_tag_pl][factions_tag][factions_tag_pr]Administrator [factions_roleprefix]x_clucky: test message

I am not in a faction, so I would imagine it would just be left blank, but it isn't....

@x_clucky

Follow the final link under the third FAQ entry above.

I can not seem to find the documentation for this on either the HeroChat dev page, or this one. How do you set the faction prefix (without color if possible?) for HeroChat channels? And just for future reference, how would I do the prefixes with color?

@Brettflan Having issues with pvp. Players are reporting that they are unable to harm faction players they are neutral with in the neutral factions land. The attackers are forced to enemy the faction before they can do anything. If this is intended, it shouldn't be. I also don't see an option in the config to alter this.

1.6.9.5 and 1.8.2 are now uploaded and will be available as soon as the BukkitDev team approve them.

Trapped chests are another material type that will need to be added to the "chests" material list. I already have that on my to-do list for the upcoming 1.8 release.
