It would be a lot better if there was a way we can assign custom powers with either a command or a permission so we can get this to work automatically with Buycraft!
For example, /f permanentpower <player> [power] instead of /f permanentpower <faction> [power], so we just have to insert the command in Buycraft /f permanentpower {name} XXX so whenever that player joins a faction, it adds his power to the total power of the faction.
And a permission like factions.powerlevel.XXX where XXX is the power level, so we can do this for groups.
Please make this happen!

Not really feasible in the current releases, but Olof has already done that for the 2.0 release. Source is on GitHub, with all 3 branches available (1.6.x, 1.8.x, and main=2.0).
https://github.com/MassiveCraft/Factions
@bjonness98
Each one explains what it specifically does. You can use one or all of them, though you should probably use /f config to change them. Ex. /f config worldsNoClaiming world_the_end

Posted Apr 27, 2013If I want it to set factions off in world_the_end, world_nether, but on in world, do I need to enter these worlds (world_the_end, world_nether) in the config (all the lines(se example), or hold it with one of them?
Example: 1. “worldsNoClaiming”: [world_the_end, world_nether], – prevents factions from claiming land in these worlds “worldsNoPowerLoss”: [], – prevents power loss on death in these worlds “worldsIgnorePvP”: [], – Factions will completely ignore PvP damage in these worlds “worldsNoWildernessProtection”: [] – any wilderness protection options you have set will be ignored in these worlds
Or
2. “worldsNoClaiming”: [world_the_end, world_nether], – prevents factions from claiming land in these worlds “worldsNoPowerLoss”: [world_the_end, world_nether], – prevents power loss on death in these worlds “worldsIgnorePvP”: [world_the_end, world_nether], – Factions will completely ignore PvP damage in these worlds “worldsNoWildernessProtection”: [world_the_end, world_nether] – any wilderness protection options you have set will be ignored in these worlds

Posted Apr 27, 2013I'd love it if you could make a PowerChangeEvent
with getNew and getOldPower
I need this for one of my private plugins for my server.
And it is verry handy in many cases.
Does Factions have a github?

The error you just posted a bit ago:
I guess you've updated since then.
As for the owner system, it was replaced by the more powerful access system.
/f access - view access info for the chunk you're in, if you are able to view it
/f access p SomePlayer - add/remove access to the chunk you're in for the specified player
/f access f SomeFaction - add/remove access to the chunk you're in for the specified faction

The error you posted clearly indicates version 1.7.5. You will indeed want to download 1.8.2.

@beastlike56
You're running 1.7.5 which is rather outdated at this point. The owner functionality was added a few versions after it.
@MonnierAnt
Faction chat is definitely removed as it was conflicting with many other chat-related plugins. It will require a separate plugin, which I understand there is FactionChat and FactionsChat plugins. Or the integration with HeroChat channels might work for you.
In 2.0 it's possible there will end up being a more official chat addon plugin, but no promises.
@leothellama
In HeroChat versions that support channels, faction and ally channels are added.
Upgrading from 1.6.x to 1.8.x is fully supported. Downgrading is not supported. However, as 2.0 will use a completely different data system, upgrading to it won't be possible.
@alizarcivire
You'll need to be more specific and report any error stack trace you encounter.

Posted Apr 27, 2013Something I did notice is that the new 1.8.2 update seems to break worldguard. Just a fair warning to all Server Admins
