Posted Jun 28, 2013Is factions 1.6.* obsolete now? Sure is sad as it was a nice smooth easy to use version over the new 1.8 & 2.0+ versions. Now we need 2 plugins just to run 1? Maybe someone will bring back the smooth running 1.6 factions...

Posted Jun 28, 2013Please help! No one in their factions can promote or demote anyone! D: It just says, you cannot promote a lesser member in your faction or something like that! Is there a setting to change this? Or a way to make the person who created the faction, the leader? Thanks

Posted Jun 28, 2013@ursak: No, players will be able to promote players in their own faction and according to the status they have in their factions. If you give someone the factions.promote.any permission however, they can promote players no matter what faction and no matter what status they have in their factions.
@kymotsujason: That wouldn't solve my problem kymo. Also, {factions_tag_st} adds the Faction tag and appends the "st" string in chatSingleFormats to it. This assures the "st" string is only added when the player is in a faction.
@KingOfHunting: For color codes you can't use &: use section signs. For a full list of colors look at this. To restore worldsNoClaiming just use the "multiverse" aspect of MCore to disable Factions in specific worlds.

I believe {factions_tag_st} is changed to {factions_name}
Try that, although I'm not quite sure what {factions_tag_st} is supposed to do.

Posted Jun 28, 2013So if I give a group the factions.promote permission, does this mean that the players in that group can promote others no matter what status they have in their factions, or if they even are in a faction?
I find the new perms a little harder to understand. I want my users to be able to create and manage factions on the server, but I want the leaders of a faction to have these perms, not everyone...

Posted Jun 28, 2013Which colors are there to put on the config file? I guess '&' colors don't work since it's written like 'DARK_BLUE'.
Can someone list me the color names that I can use?

Posted Jun 28, 2013I have a problem with chat formatting. I would like my chat format to be like this:
[Rank]=[Faction]=[Username] [Message]
In factions v1.8.2 I solved the Rank with using EssentialsChat and giving each rank their own message format.
I solved the Faction part with adding {faction_relcolor} and {faction_tag_st}. I added this to my Factions configuration:
In Factions v2.0.0 this is removed although. How do I solve this problem? I have read the server owner guide, to no avail.
Here's an example from the EssentialsChat configuration (Owner):
I could create a plugin to fix my problem, however it would be wasted time if there is a solution to this.
Can anyone help me with my problem?
Thanks, Daniel

Posted Jun 28, 2013For those who haven't mastered the art of compiling yet, the download link to the freshly compiled .jar file is:
http://salvagecraft.org/plugins/Factions-dev.jar
This is compiled from the newest GitHub changes. This build isn't approved by DevBukkit staff and will never be, and it isn't approved by the Factions developers either. Use it on your own risk!

Posted Jun 27, 2013Is there a reason why nothing is happening when I download the file? I did it like all my other plugins, but when I start up the server it doesn't create any config files or anything of the sort.

Bug verified and fixed with this commit: https://github.com/MassiveCraft/Factions/commit/e5e87c93590700739362f04c24843b54dbb10bfe
This fix is not part of the upcomming 2.0.1. You will have to compile yourself for now.
