Posted Oct 30, 2013I have Essentials loaded and am using the builtin economy system. I also have Factions 2.1.0 loaded and within factions I have all economy features disabled per the default configuration. Before any factions were created, when running /baltop, it only showed players. After creating and disbanding a faction though, when running /baltop it shows the weird factionID listed on that screen and is also saved into the essentials/userdata folder as well. This seems to happen when the faction is disbanded with essentials immediately creating the player data yml file.
Anyone knows how to solve this problem ?

Posted Oct 28, 2013If you're looking for features to add to future faction updates, here are some I thought of after spending a few days deep in the configs and reading many forum posts.
I think the following would make the new individual permission features more versatile:
1. disable the perm changing ability completely from faction leaders (they would quickly change container access for enemies from yes to noo if allowed to)
2. or delete all items in the "materialsContainer": [], field which effectively removes perm control of them and then set in uconf/instance.json:
This, however makes all containers accessible, not just chests. Could I suggest adding a "Containers2" field? And then if there were an option of which of the perms could/couldn't be changed with the /f perm command. This would allow server owners to have some perms be unchangeable by players, while still still letting faction leaders have control over some of the permissions. Currently it's all or nothing.
Just some ideas I had after working with factions for our pvp server.
Thanks! P.S. If there is another way to have just chests be accessible in all territories without turning off /f perm completely, I'd love to know what it is.

I just figured this out. You have 2 choices. Install multiverse and make a different world for your mob arena. I made one called arena and edited this:
If you want it all in one world, then you need a permanent faction - you can use the default Warzone or make a new one.
You set the following flags from this page: http://www.massivecraft.com/factions#flags
Then go claim all the chunks of your mob arena. You can then leave the faction and it won't disband, since you set it to permanent.
Good luck!

Posted Oct 28, 2013Does faction offer any sort of support or solution to be used with the mod arena pluging? Because when you die in mod arena you lose faction power, and was hoping to find a way to prevet that. Thank you in advance.

Posted Oct 26, 2013I've avoided the newer faction builds that rely on mcore, and stayed on 1.8.2 for quite some time. But I get the feeling that come 1.7 I will have no choice.
In preparation I went looking through the config and noticed that "econClaimAdditionalMultiplier" is no longer available meaning claim prices are now constant. Why remove that feature?

Posted Oct 26, 2013Hi, I have the latest version of mcore and Factions, and the recommended build for CraftBukkit, but when I launch my server, I receive an error message saying: [SEVERE] Error occurred while enabling Factions v2.2.1 (Is it up to date?) I've tried stripping all plugins and restarting and the same error comes up.

Posted Oct 25, 2013In the latest build of this there is no config for economy or anything which I'd like to see come back and may I suggest having a block placing whitelist and block breaking whitelist and block placing whitelist. I want my players to be able to steal crops from factions also farming in safezones. Would appreciate it more than you think ;)

Posted Oct 25, 2013Ok i have a suggestion. There is a command like /f disable to make it so that if ur allied or in the same faction once /f disable they can still hit each other. This would be handy for many servers that do AllvAll events and need factions disabled so that it is fairer.

to remove the [] you should put it like this: §7{factions_relcolor}{factions_roleprefix}{factions_name|ucf}§r§7{DISPLAYNAME}: {MESSAGE}
