tags.json:
{ "l": "<green>", "a": "<gold>", "n": "<silver>", "i": "<yellow>", "g": "<lime>", "b": "<rose>", "h": "<pink>", "c": "<aqua>", "p": "<teal>" }
I think it is something involving a line of code in the config, "chatTagFormat": "%s§f", "factionChatFormat": "%s:§f %s", "allianceChatFormat": "§d%s:§f %s", and the tags.json file, "l": "<green>", "a": "<gold>", "n": "<silver>", "i": "<yellow>", "g": "<lime>", "b": "<rose>", "h": "<pink>", "c": "<aqua>", "p": "<teal>"
Any help at all would be appreciated, as I am relatively new to coding and this is driving me insane!

Posted Jul 11, 2013Because so many of you complain it doesn't work here are BOTH links
MCCORE: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9pa9txcyvnwoawh/mcore.jar
FACTIONS: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/factions/files/52-1-6-9-5/ Now just place them both in your plugins folder and restart your server Now no one has any reason to complain

Honestly, i'm not sure there is a specific way to do this. I either just make my worldguard regions a safezone or warzone, and that way players can't claim this land.

I have checked the wiki and the comments and the permission nodes in the plugin.yml.

FACTIONS FIX
Im going to repost this because you guys keep missing my post thats below.
Factions isnt working because mcore broke with the update. Factions itself works JUST FINE. Make sure youre on the latest factions, and the latest craftbukkit and replace your mcore.jar with mine and you will be up and running in no time.
@SPGEARClub: Go
Nope. That someone was wrong. The jar is full of compiled class files, therefore you can not edit the code.
The only "plugin editor" that exists is Eclipse and the source code of the plugin should the developer release it.

Posted Jul 11, 2013Sorry everyone thats factions seem to be broken, if you want to use factions on your 1.6.2 server, download R: 1.8.2 for CB 1.5.2 R0.1 Apr 23, 2013. This version is compatible.

Swe, the reason it's not working is because the developers at MassiveCraft haven't updated mcore, or Factions to 1.6.2. Seems like a minor update, quick to fix. Let's hope they're fast!
