Posted Apr 25, 2014Hello, I was running my server with the latest Factions and custom mcore jars(for 1.7.9), and after a reboot, all faction land, including Safe and Warzones were unclaimed. This never happened before. I found the claimed land data location in one of my backups: mstore/factions_board@default, however, the world.json file is completely empty. Could you help us? Thanks :)

Posted Apr 25, 2014Mcore (Factions Fix) for versions 1.7.8 & 1.7.9:
MCore is currently broken for versions 1.7.8 and 1.7.9 due to the UUID Update. This is why factions is not working on versions 1.7.8/1.7.9. If you want an updated version of MCore check out this video below.

@cbn2000 Because of the 1.8 update thats going to be adding the UUID's, they have to re-code the entire system that has to do with data storage. Due to this, yes, the update is going to take a while.
But you can definitely use the quick fix update that I posted. It won't effect anything because it's literally the last version of mcore but with the proper 1.7.8/1.7.9 references. So the data is stored exactly the same.
But of course once a stable build of factions and Mcore comes out, please update to those as they will be able to convert your data to the new system.
@teras2 Make sure your using the 1.7.2 compatible builds. Factions: v2.3.0 Mcore: v7.0.2

@DjSwifPanda This one above works!
@wesley272 Deleting and resetting the data is the best possible way to update. A lot can go wrong when you try to convert to the newer versions. Plus if you reset you may see some significant speed increase.
@ergenta Your factions/mcore configurations files are in your main server directory under a folder called mstore.

Alright, thanks for that offer. That would be awesome, if you'd be willing to. However, I understand if you don't want to update 1.8.2 because it's old and more work.
What I do want to ask, then, is if we update to the newer versions of factions(2.3.1+) from factions 1.8.2, will all the faction data be lost and reset? Or will it stay and transfer over to the updated plugin?

@wesley272 No, it won't but I could probably update that version for you guys to work with UUID's although that version has a shit ton of bugs.

We understand that, thank you. We weren't asking about that though, we were asking if the older versions of factions, like version 1.8.2(Not MC. Factions 1.8.2, which most big factions servers use) would be updated to UUIDs, or if you are only going to update the new versions from 2.0+? Because there were a lot of major changes in how the plugin works between 1.8.2 and 2.0, which is why many big servers prefer 1.8.2.
