Posted Aug 9, 2013Please add WorldGaurd checking. It's essential on many servers including mine. Thanks. 95% of the people here need to read the documentation. Most of the issues reported here can be easily fixed with a consultation of the documentation in the correct section.

Posted Aug 9, 2013For this faction plugin you MUST have java 7 installed. For VPS means this that you must run the command yum install java7 (centOS) or for windows install java 7 from their website.
I think why players are able to build in the safezone because in the flags of the safezone is peacefull with all the other faction standard true. I think if you remove the 'ALLY' for build permissions in a faction that you can't build in the safezone longer.
Sorry for my bad englisch i'm dutch...

Posted Aug 9, 2013I haven't been able to update this plugin for the last few updates. Every time there is an update I replace the .jar file and then restart....nothing. The jar file is there but factions never loads. I revert back to the old plugin and it works fine. Not sure what's up. I'm running the latest dev version of craftbukkit and minecraft 1.6.2.

There is no need to get angry with the developers xD we can solve this pacifically...
I won't be downloading any more builds if something isn't done to keep factions how it was from 1.5. Can't afford adding an extra 1.5MB just to mantain a 300kb plugin updated.
This plugin has progressed correctly, commands and permissions are better now, but I just can't be adding more plugins for no apparent reason
SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE
