Posted Jul 1, 2013I just updated to factions 2.0.1 . When trying to setup essentialschat using the latest dev build of this plugin I got this in my chat [* *][Rank]playername: message ! but it doesn't show up the faction itself ! I'm using this format: format: '§7[{factions_roleprefix}§r§7{factions_nameforce}§r§7] §r§7[{GROUP}] §r{DISPLAYNAME}§r§7:§r {MESSAGE}' . I found this one on http://www.massivecraft.com/factions-owner#essentialschat does someone know how to fix the problem?

Posted Jun 30, 2013Why can't I get this to work with MCore or whatever? There's tons of errors, all of which are "Unsupported Major Minor Version 51.0." I can't get the latest update because of this, and it is quite aggravating. Is there any way I can fix this? :/

Posted Jun 30, 2013Does anyone know how to change the timer for the /f home command? It used to run under the essentials teleport time, but for some reason mcore overwrites it to 10secs default. My players are complaining about that so I gave them the bypass command, but than it's 0, which makes teleporting from combat easier. Any help?

Posted Jun 30, 2013On the topic of safe/warzone claiming: the command is now /f safeclaim or /f warclaim.
For chat prefixes: place <[factions_relcolor]§l[factions_roleprefix]§r[factions_relcolor][factions_name|rp]§f%1$s> %2$s in the essentialschat config. It should already be in the factions config folder. DO NOT TOUCH THE ONE IN THE FACTIONS CONFIG. ONLY PUT THIS IN ESSENTIALS CONFIG WITH SQUARE BRACKETS. For some reason factions only detects it with square brackets.
Finally, if you didn't back up your factions before trying to update, they're a lost cause and will have to be manually remade. Their homes will still be in the json files, so you can reset them. /f create [faction], /f claim, /f sethome, /f leader [original leader], /f leave. Rinse, repeat until all your factions are back.

Posted Jun 30, 2013Installation Stop the server. Ensure you have Java 7 installed. Put mcore.jar in the plugins folder. Download MCore here on BukkitDev. Put Factions.jar in the plugins folder. Start the server. For advanced users only: Configure the mcore aspects and multiverses using the commands. Stop the server again. The configs will now have been created. Modify the one server conf your liking. Modify the one multiverse conf to your liking. Modify the many universe conf to you liking. Configure permissions.
Come on guys, third instruction! :P
