Posted Aug 2, 2013@Sekatorr What I believe Factions does with Economy related accounts, it is that it creates an account with the name of the faction with the plugin. The economy plugin believes this is just another player, so it just created another account like usual with a certain starting balance.
@xTricky I believe the configuration should look like this. This applies to all of those world based settings. Note the extra indentation for each world and the comma after the quotation marks except for the last world.
@tenten8401 You are looking in the wrong place for the config. Try looking outside of the plugins folder in a folder called 'mstore'
@Eljoex Claim it yourself as a Safe Zone or a War Zone, depending on what you want your spawn to be. Try looking through the commands in the ./f help to see what they are exactly. Or try looking in the wiki to see. I think I heard it changed, otherwise, the command should be in /f help. Just look through all the pages.
@hazik666 I believe the configuration can only be set per world if you do the configuration for mCore for the universes and such. What can be done, however, is set a default configuration that is for everyone, and then set permissions differently so that certain groups get more permissions than others. I believe that is the most you can do for per-player / per-group.

Posted Aug 2, 2013Hi,
Just wondering is it possible to set the universal config to individual players, as I want to give Donors different abilities in factions than normal (such as commands etc).
Thanks, hazik666.

Posted Aug 2, 2013Hi. I have small problem. Everything is set as it should be, and works fine, but only one thing. I've set starting money to 250 for every player. And it works. But when player creates a faction - faction's bank just after creation has the same amount of cash - 250. So player has 250 + another 250 in his bank account when he creates Faction. How can I remove starting faction's bank money ? Is it some option from - "econEnabled": true, "econUniverseAccount": "Bank", "bankEnabled": true, "bankFactionPaysCosts": true, "bankFactionPaysLandCosts": true -
Please help :) Thanks

Posted Aug 1, 2013Hi guys! I'm having a bit of trouble with the mstore factions config. I want to disable power loss and the ability to claim land in certain worlds. I found the option in the json config, but I don't think I am formatting it right. Anyone know how I should format this? I keep getting a syntax error:( I currently have it like this: "worldsNoClaiming": [Spawn],[plotworld] "worldsNoPowerLoss": [Spawn],[plotworld]

Alright, I did try it many times. I'm what that does is that it changes the "no faction" to a determined faction. In this case the one I give the ID of. Now, the problem with this is that if you try to leave, go to the "no faction", you end again inside that faction. In other words, you can't not have faction. This prevents you from creating other factions.
What I want to do is to have a default -auto joined- faction which is always peaceful. This will be my PvE faction where everyone starts. If you desire to PvP, you can leave it and create your own.

Outside of the plugins folder, there will be a folder called mstore. Try looking in there.

Posted Aug 1, 2013Hey Need help! I have downloaded Mcore and Factions, and want to edit the factions config! I looked in the factions file, and the config seems as if you cannot edit it the plugin there, so I looked in Mcore, and there is a Mcore config file, but no factions config file. I need to configure factions so that people can open chests for people who are not in their faction (raiding type stuff) So basically I need to know were to config factions so i can change some stuff, I cannot see the config file in Mcore or Factions plugin, there are two configs (one in each) but they dont have any options to change (eg. Setting a statement to true or false)
Thanks!

Posted Aug 1, 2013I am using Factions 2.0.3 with MCore 6.5.X using MCore 6.5.0
I am using iChat 2.6.3 for a chat plugin.
I am using Build #2825 Craftbukkit Dev Build
I used to have this as my configuration in 1.8 version.
Using this for iChat's configuration.
And this for the format.
- - - - - - - - -
This in fact did work, as it did replace the tags when they showed up.
I am now trying to use this in the new mCore format.
But this doesn't work anymore.
Did something in the chat change, or am I using the wrong tags? I followed what you guys had on the wiki for this, but I couldn't get it to work.
No errors happen in the plugins, so not sure what else could be wrong.
