you need to change relationships from allied to truce
@CarlesLazaroCosta
in the factions.json you need to add:
"POWERLOSS": false,
to the warzone factions permOverrides section

Posted May 2, 2013@Brettflan When I enable chatParseTagsColored, Factions seems to ignore that there are other chat plugins installed. I see both Herochat and the Factions default format in chat. So basically if I type hello, the chat displays the message twice. Once from Herochat and once from Factions. The {faction_relcolor} string still does not function when chatParseTagsColored is enabled. Please fix this. Thanks! :D
@ulumulu1510 Thanks for responding. I've fixed my issue with the {faction_roleprefix} string which was purely an issue on my part. Not really used to the new recruit rank. Thanks though.

Posted May 2, 2013Re: faction relation colors not showing up in 1.8.x, by default that's disabled for better chat compatibility with other plugins. It can be enabled via the "chatParseTagsColored" setting. /f config chatParseTagsColored true

Posted May 2, 2013I replaced the old plugin with the new 1.5.1-R0.2 plugin. But all players, including me being OP, lost their permissions and faction chat tags... luckyly the config was not affected and I still had a backup from the previous day.
Any Idea why this is happening?

I can try to atleast. Brettflan is in charge of the 1.6.* and 1.8.* developement, so I 'll have to contact him personally.
I will set up a github bug-report though, since noone managed to do this on their own.( I know, github is not that easy to handle)

Posted May 2, 2013@ulumulu1510 Yay! You used my solution to the chat problem! Since you are a tester, you probably have more direct connections with the main developers. Can you please push for the fix of the faction relationship color? That would be great. Also, I haven't extensively troubleshoot it, but the * shows up on all names in chat even if they are not in a faction or a faction officer with the {faction_roleprefix} string. Please try to notify the developers. Thanks.

This command got improved in the 2.0 developement, it should be similar to your request.
@ryanblanksma
With 1.8, you can disable some aspect in certain worlds like claiming land ect but not fully. In the 2.0 developement, we make use of mcore and its universe system which allows in-detail universe (a bunch of worlds) configuration.

Thanks. The issues I am left with is that the faction_rel thing isn't working. All factions come up white, without the relevant colors. This may have already been posted, but I can't see it.
Thanks in advance.

Posted May 1, 2013Just a little idea: the f list in scoreboard form? like on the Shotbow network wasted games. You can see the highest 8/10 Factions (with power) and their names? Would be awesome!

With 2.0, a proper multiverse support gets added to factions. It relys on the universe sytem of the plugin mcore.
@babababagagaga
No to my knowledge, no. And why would you want that even.
@Jeruhmi
That should be in per default. Read the userguide for more default configuration information.
@Nutiler
This is hardcoded to my knowledge, it is not removable.
@RoosSkywalker
Shouldn't, no. See an above answer about multiworld compatibility for the matter.
@MXDood
This is because the base-block for the sign is in am unprotected area. You must claim the base-block to protect the sign, otherwise this isn't fixable to my knowledge.
@at all whom have a chat problem For those of you having chat problems, the chat strings have been changed in the 1.7+ versions of Factions since the past few updates. Instead of using [FACTION], use the following strings: {faction_roleprefix} (Shows the role of that member in the faction) {faction_tag_pr} (Shows the Faction name with a space after it) {faction_tag} (Shows Faction name with no space) There are more I can't think of off the top of my head. However, the factions will not be colored in chat based on their relationship to other factions because the {faction_relcolor} string does not work. I've been trying to notify them to fix this for several updates now but there's never been a response. Hope this helps some people with chat issues.
