You've said plenty, so a few answers:

I think it's entirely fair to ask people to read the FAQ above as many of the questions posted are answered in it. Simple.
There are only 2 actual developers for this plugin, if you read just a little more carefully.
This is a free plugin and whatever support people are receiving is likewise free, and costing the people who answer them their own time. I personally value my time as I have little of it free, maybe this isn't the case for you.
I have tested 1.8.2 in the CraftBukkit Beta 1.5.2-R0.1 release. It worked fine from my brief testing. Again, if you're having problems, you need to provide a lot more information than "it doesn't work" if you expect to get a useful answer or get someone to look into it.
If there are faulty permissions, report it in detail. Otherwise I'll assume you're wrong as there are no known permission problems.

Kindly stow your attitude and stop trying to peddle an unofficial download of our plugin which neither we nor the BukkitDev team can verify is safe for people to use.

@NemesisMate

So with access permissions set to only allow a specific player access to a territory, and with perms set so that anyone can access containers, the players in that faction are unable to open them there but everyone else can? Thanks for the report, I'll note it down to look into and fix.

@stapleshotz

Those and all other changes are automatically handled when you upgrade from 1.6.x to 1.8.x. If you had a ".json_bad" file created then there was something else wrong with the file.

@Brettflan

I would like to have some help with this problem. Before, I have a variable (I don't remember it name) so every player on the server (It doesn't matter if ally, enemy or member) could open chests.

Now I try it with new perms. I set on defaultPerms that everyone can open CONTAINER. The problem is that when the leader makes a territory to be acceded only by a player (removing the faction itself with /f access f and after /f access p <player>) everybody can open chests in that territory but members of it own faction (only <player> of his faction can).

Before I could set that everybody can with the variable that was removed. How can I make that now?

brettflan, your previous comment seem to me like your mearly trying to put off updating the plugin. The updates required to fix these issues for everyone is s simple RB update.

I dont think its fair that your asking people to read FAQ's when in fact its just a total waste of time, all you need to do is get better staff responses on bukkit dev, and maybe offer a test build very soon.

If you guys are struggling to support people, Ill just pay staff to help you out. Its that simple.

Factions is as important to my server and its 20,100 users that it is for massivecraft. when i have the responsibility of this many users, i respectfully ask for people to understand my qualms.

thanks

THERE ARE 7 AUTHORS TO THIS PLUGIN. ALL AFK.

Because of the lack of teamwork in factions developments, I have had to update the plugin myself of which has broken some other things.

Sorry guys but if your gonna have all these authors and maintainers for the plugin, at least do something about the needed updates. If not add me as a maintainer and ill release a working build on the day of any new update.

FYI, a lot of servers are dying because of the lack of support they are receiving.

I understand you guys do this from the goodness of your heart, but sometimes you gotta go the extra mile when you have over 10,000 plugin users.

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1.player enters "/f c" into chat 2.server responds "Alliance only chat mode" 3.player talks in chat 4.Players chat is still in Public chat

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Players chat should be in alliance only chat

What version of the product are you using? Factions v1.6.9.5 Herochat v5.6.6

Do you have an error log of what happened? No error log is created

Anyone else having this issue?

It seems the player.json is configured differently in v1.8.2 than it is in my current v1.6.9.4. When updating on my dummy server it renames it player.json_bad and creates a new blank one. Though I've found the fix for it. If you have notepad plus plus go under "search" and click "replace" replace all "NORMAL" with "MEMBER", "MODERATOR" with "OFFICER", and "ADMIN" with "LEADER". Took me a while to figure this out though. :p

Reminder for people asking for support: the more information you provide (preferably relevant to your problem), the better. Without enough information it can be hard to tell what problem you're actually having, let alone what might be causing it. The less information you provide, the less likely anyone will help or even respond to you.

This especially goes for the two people recently saying "the plugin doesn't work for me". Doesn't work how? What does your server startup log contain related to Factions? What version of the plugin and what version of CraftBukkit are you running? You should also post version numbers rather than just saying "latest".

Also a reminder that you should always check at least the FAQ and preferably the user guide as well to make sure it doesn't answer your question before posting it. Checking the last few pages of comments here is also a good idea.

Alright guys i have solved the problem of no faction tags and no color, For the no tags go into your factions config and "chatSetFormat": false, <Turn this into this> "chatSetFormat": true

For the no color go into config and "chatParseTagsColored": false, <Turn this into> "chatParseTagsColored": true,

NOTE: Your server must be off when you edit the config or it will revert.

You need to promote the user to "member", with the new update users are ranked by default as "recruit" (you can change this in the settings) when joining a new faction. /f promote
