Posted Sep 2, 2013The newer version of this is VERY HARD to understand if you are new with factions. Is there a way you can release a 1.6.2 version of the old version of factions? Thanks.

Posted Sep 2, 2013Errors Occuring, Please Help.
I have been working on this for weeks, and I can't find the error. Everytime I try to use factions this error pops up -
2013-09-02 19:44:29 [SEVERE] Error occurred while enabling Factions v2.1.0 (Is it up to date?) java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 0 at java.lang.String.charAt(String.java:695) at com.massivecraft.mcore.SimpleConfig.contentRequestsDefaults(SimpleConfig.java:55) at com.massivecraft.mcore.SimpleConfig.load(SimpleConfig.java:65) at com.massivecraft.factions.Factions.onEnable(Factions.java:98) at org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin.setEnabled(JavaPlugin.java:217) at org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPluginLoader.enablePlugin(JavaPluginLoader.java:457) at org.bukkit.plugin.SimplePluginManager.enablePlugin(SimplePluginManager.java:381) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_6_R2.CraftServer.loadPlugin(CraftServer.java:282) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_6_R2.CraftServer.enablePlugins(CraftServer.java:264) at net.minecraft.server.v1_6_R2.MinecraftServer.l(MinecraftServer.java:313) at net.minecraft.server.v1_6_R2.MinecraftServer.f(MinecraftServer.java:290) at net.minecraft.server.v1_6_R2.MinecraftServer.a(MinecraftServer.java:250) at net.minecraft.server.v1_6_R2.DedicatedServer.init(DedicatedServer.java:151) at net.minecraft.server.v1_6_R2.MinecraftServer.run(MinecraftServer.java:391) at net.minecraft.server.v1_6_R2.ThreadServerApplication.run(SourceFile:582)
I've tried updating Factions, nothing works. Everytime I update, it needs to update AGAIN. It already says 1.6. too. The version of Factions currently on your server is Factions 2.1.0 MCore 6.7.X for Bukkit version CB 1.6.2-R0.1. The newest version of the plugin is Factions 2.1.0 MCore 6.7.X for Bukkit version CB 1.6.2-R0.1. Thats what happens, and I look at the plugin again, and it says to update. Help me please. Any answer works!

Posted Sep 2, 2013Phew... that was a close one.. i was starting to get frustrated Cayorion with the update you made to factions.. My /f home stoped working.. i was getting frustrated beyond belief since i had just fixed that the other day from your last update.. then i realized that i hadnt updated mcore.. once i did that and restarted server i was relieved when i did /f home and i teleported to my faction home.. i love factions and all it has to offer.. Great job and keep up the good work.. I run it on 98.217.140.101.. i still cant figure out how to stop people from claiming faction land on my Skyblock world.. other than that its great

False, Gontroller is updated. They have coded it to use the old commands but still function like the newest versions. I am not able to do that.

Posted Sep 2, 2013Well i Now haw the plugin is working now but i do not like the Hash coding fore all the Factions U should of had it Hash Code it another way as in this way its not easy to use. Would love it if u would make the Factions u create not get Hash coding and get the Actual Name of the Faction like wilderness could be wilderness file in stead of a Long hash code I know y u did it like this but its not rely the best for KID Server Owner's If u can make a updated version of the Old Factions And Rename it Factions for kid's. I do now that your Mcore plugin dos have Conflicts with other plugins i have tried to use but got rid of cos of the conflicts .

Posted Sep 1, 2013I give up
I can no longer deal with this. I have never had major problems with plugins. I am always able to resolve issues on my own. The fact that this plugin has absolutely destroyed my server is really hurtful. Im not here to rage. I respect you Authors and any who helped with this project. But what you fail to notice is that many server owners can not so easily identify problems. Some may be obvious, some not. But I have had 3 problems come up in the past 24 hours after updating and no one will help and I cant find a resolution. After 2 years of using Factions I am no longer using it. The vast changes made and new requirements is mind boggling.
To people like the Owners of very advanced servers like Gontroller, DiamCraft, and BattlePvp... This is a minor change and they handle it very well. But they are extremely hard-working and intelligent people. They dedicate their time and lives to this. Server Owners like myself who want to run moderate servers that can have 30-70 constant players cannot keep up with this. I am in no way defending the turds that spam the comments and github with stupid comments and questions. Hell no. I am simply saying that this plugin is becoming too complicated for the average person. At least have a designated place for support. For now though. I am done... thank you for this plugin.

No it does not bro. I have the config set exactly the way I want. I have never experienced any problems with this plugin. I didnt even mind the updates, and unlike these helpless children I can figure out most things on my own. My problem that ISNT on the guide is that players are NOT losing power upon death even though it is set to do so in my config....
