That would only happen if you upgraded then tried to downgrade back to 1.6.x. Downgrading is not supported; the data structure is changed. Only upgrading from lower to higher versions is supported.

Hmm. Can you upload a copy of your data files to mediafire.com or somewhere else and send me a PM with the link?
@ziggston
Sorry, that's one of the minor options which was removed in 1.7.x and not added back. However, in the upcoming 2.0 release you will have much finer control between worlds.
@rangewonk
There's no option for that, but it was changed in 1.7.x to no longer completely protect people in their own land, only allowing full protection from Truce relation or higher.
@Lightning97
What you need is the factions.relation permission. Yes, the documentation does need to be updated.
@tordo27
As long as you're using /f flag to set them as peaceful, they should stay peaceful. But actually, in the second question...
By reload, what do you mean? Using the reload command for Bukkit? FYI you should never never use Bukkit's reload command, it messes up most plugins including this one. Use the stop command and start the server back up.
Hmm, you're right, I'm not sure why the officer permission node isn't included. For now you can simply add that permission node for your players. You can also have them use the promote and demote commands.
@bukbuk3
/f config chatParseTagsColored true, then follow the last link in the third FAQ entry above.

The econ settings are all in conf.json.

Posted May 7, 2013I'm having a lot of problems with 1.8.
First, peaceful factions seem to become unpeaceful every time I restart the server.
Second, every time I reload herochat the faction chat channels no longer work for anyone.
Third, players don't have access to /f officer and some other commands even though they have the factions.kit.fullplayer node. All other basic commands are working fine.

Posted May 7, 2013I've noticed the new commands with 1.8.2 and I've had to re-add and add new permissions to my member group. However, the commands /f neutral, /f ally and /f enemy are all commands that I cannot get the players to use even though I've added the perm node "factions.[Whateveritwas]. Thinking I needed more to the node or it was wrong completely, I went to your help page. Only to realize that you've updated your IG commands but never updated the nodes near the bottom of the page. I kinda need these nodes. x.x
Edit: Also, Factions names are now showing in the chat.

Posted May 7, 2013HELP ME PLEASE When you try to attack someone in their faction land you can't attack them without enenmying the faction, although they can still attack you. I would like to toggle this so you can attack them without being enemies.
Many people are getting lured and confused by this and are being killed before they have the chance to /f enemy.
I have looked many times throught the config to try and toggle this but can't find what it is. Please could someone help me out as this is quite a big issue and im sure other people have the same problem.
Many thanks,
Rangewonk

Posted May 7, 2013Hello I have a problem with your plugin.
Anyone can break/put blocks in the factions claimed land.
There is no error on start or wherever in the log.
I'm using R: 1.8.2 for CB 1.5.2-R0.1 Apr 23, 2013 and the right CB version.
Any suggestion/solution?

So post a full and proper bug report explaining what problems you're running into. It isn't that hard. As long as your post is, a fraction of that length could have been devoted to providing problem details. As I said I tested it briefly, including running a couple of commands.
If I cannot duplicate your problem, I cannot fix it. This should be very easy to understand.
Can you read? The staff here have the correct titles. Author = developer. Testers and our Artist are (understandably) not developers.
Was my comment asking people to read the FAQ directed at you or anyone else having a problem where they're unable to use the plugin at all? No, it was a general statement as (again) many problems recently posted are answered in the FAQ.
Better yet, go get some sleep and come back when you're better rested and less volatile.

in the time it took you to write your response... good things could of happened.
Im mearly trying to help a desperate community of factions users.
If you had run tests correctly on 1.5.2r0.1 then you would know that command functions need to be updated as factions is almost un-usable. HENCE why your getting a lots of bug reports....
Its highly unfortunate that you don't recognize just how many people around the world rely on your plugin for protection and most of all gameplay. Just counting on my users alone, we would be happy to support your plugin financially even just to help with moral support while working on it. If i have to buy you pizza's or something just to help you along as a gesture, im more than willing to do so.
I simply dont find it fair that users are told to read an FAQ, when un-like your response it DOES NOT contain the answers needed.
If you have only 2 developers for your project then how about giving your staff the correct titles on bukkit dev so people know.
Author - Creator Developer - Maintainer
Ive been thoroughly testing factions from github compiling for about 2 years? Surely I should have a "tester" title lol.
Im sorry that I run a high end and busy community, I have the stress of updating in the same way you have stress in receiving complaints about breaks. Please understand the stress when you have masses of people asking you why. Its better for me to raise the issue instead of a bunch of others at the same time.
Nuff said.
