You can mostly limit Factions to specific worlds, as per the FAQ entry.
@juodas
/f invite is only available to faction moderators and above, not to regular members. If you don't want specific people to be allowed to use that command, don't make them faction moderators.
@d4rkwarriors
Read the FAQ.
@drakcore
Peaceful status currently can only be set by server admins/moderators. Options may be added in future to allow factions to choose peaceful status under certain circumstances.
@xMrMatty
Is there any error from Factions indicated above the part you have copied there? The part you have copied is simply showing the process of players having their data reset because their faction no longer exists. It doesn't indicate the cause.
@MelonCraftServer
Friendly fire can be allowed in WarZones (/f config warZoneFriendlyFire false) and in specific worlds (/f config worldsIgnorePvP YourWorldNameHere). Our FAQ also mentions the multiworld settings.

Posted Apr 14, 2012Is there a way to disable Allied factions or allow allies to be able to PVP? I run a PVP world and CTF, and allied faction members cannot fight. After reading through, there does not seem to be a way.

Posted Apr 14, 2012I Love this plugin but i found a severe bug: If in a server there is AuthMe and a player with SP enter with a existing name, it can disband, unclaim, kick, ecc without do the login. So, if a player enter in my server with name Maxetto and type /f disband without be logged in, it can disband my faction.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english, i'm italian

Posted Apr 13, 2012Hi i would just like to know how to add coloured text to the faction tag so that people who aren't in any faction can see that colour. The people in the faction see their own faction tag colour as green, the enemy see's their enemy's as red. But for people with no factions, other peoples faction tags are white. How do i set it to a certain colour?

It is because you give him permanently permissions to invite anyone... Better to use factions.kit.fullmember or factions.kit.halfmember

Posted Apr 13, 2012Hello everybody! I have a problem with permissions. I was using permission nodes from here: http://massivecraft.com/plugins/factions/permissions but my problem is this. Now player who has the permission for example for /f invite, he can invite others to his faction, even if he's not the admin of that faction. Isnt there just one node which would allow a player to create/manage HIS faction? Like factions.owner or something?

Posted Apr 12, 2012I was wondering if there was a way to set factions to work only in a defined area. One of the owners of the server I administrate has this idea for faction warfare in an area, and I do not want it to be a server wide thing. The idea he had was to just protect everything via worldguard when a faction built something, but I like the way this plugin works better in that regard. On that note, does this plugin clash with world guard?

Current dev build which should fix the issue of creeper explosions being prevented by TNT protection:

To disable piston protection: /f config pistonProtectionThroughDenyBuild false
@GuildMasterLelo
WarZones do not prevent mobs from spawning or attacking players; only SafeZones do that.
@Vitaminous
What specifically are you wanting to be bypassed by those hidden moderators?
@latexink
CraftIRC isn't used by Olof or myself, so integration with it isn't likely unless another dev wants to contribute the code for it. We do accept reasonable pull requests.
@isurdell
I'm guessing you have Essentials on your server? To disable our teleport delay integration: /f config homesTeleportCommandEssentialsIntegration false
@BlindRiku
If you have the Essentials plugin, we've integrated /f home into their teleport delay and cooldown. Either way, /f home is prevented by default in enemy territory and when near enemy players (unless in a safe zone or in own territory).
@alienfetus
What versions of Factions and CraftBukkit are you running? Are you getting any errors in your server log / console when that happens?
@redted44
That can happen when two color codes are right next to each other without another character in-between, an annoying shortcoming in Minecraft text rendering. You might try adding some extra characters or spacing in there. Might try "FACTION" or similar. Alternately, for that extra "f" only, you can probably get rid of it using /f config chatTagFormat %s (get rid of the "§f"). The "a" looks to be there from a "§f" color code being added just before it by PEX, probably, with "§a" being our color to indicate you're a member of that faction (green).
@MrCobayo
Olof would need to answer that one since he handles the MassiveCraft site and server, though I'm not even sure what in particular you're asking about.
@HighlifeTTU
Claiming has always been in 16x16 chunks, and autoclaim has always been for claiming land as you walk around, no radius options. The main claim command does have a radius option, but it too will claim a square area.
@CorvusPVP
I have no ETA for the next release. I suppose I could offer a dev build which should fix it, though. Hold on a few minutes.

Posted Apr 12, 2012Just curious if there is a rough ETA on the update that will fix the creepers not exploding on claimed land. Or if there is a dev build that I could test out. Thanks again for a great plugin and
@MrCobayo: In the config you have the option to change the chat colors. I forget what line off the top of my head, but it is in the first section I believe.

And this is the reason 12 year-olds who have no scope of reality, shouldn't be allowed to have computers. Unfortunately, he will continue to post his stupid, non-helpful posts. The owner of the plugin is pretty much keeping up with the demand of the people, who made you the decider of the peoples demand? Also, it isn't as simple as handing it over to someone new, if someone else does take-over the plugin they would have to learn exactly how the plugin itself works, code-wise, they can't just be like *poof*: there are different ways of coding! Now please stop spamming this topic with issues, and go use a different plugin. Bitching and moaning isn't going to get you your way, I would honestly just ignore if I was the plugin dev. because honestly, you act like an illiterate asswipe, who most likely doesn't know what spending personal time to do something for a community of people as large as bukkit means. Now go home, hop into your mothers arms, and complain about how a mean person on the internet is the reason you can't open your server. -Regards Tyler
