Bukkit

are you planning on adding warzones to the alpha build? coz thats all thats keeping me from testing it on my server (100+ online players)

xD thanks, this is what I was looking for!

@adamusor

Read the FAQ.

@ZeeTillz

That's a bit tricky because the code which is disbanding the faction is doing so because the last member is gone. It has no way to tell whether it was due to them being inactive for too long or because they simply left. It would probably take more work to implement than it's worth.

@Broseling

I have an idea for that which I plan to try at some point. I'll paste an outline of it below:

One idea I've considered is a setting which limits each player in a faction a certain amount of power, based on the amount of land they've claimed and the number of members.

For example, let's say that "limit" value is 2.0. A player creates a faction but hasn't claimed any land yet; this limits his power to 2.0. He then claims 1 territory. Since he's the only faction member, this increases his allowed power level to 3.0 (1.0 + 2.0). He then has 3 more players join his faction, so that it has 4 total members. Since his faction has 1 land claimed and 4 members, each member would then be limited to 2.25 power (1.0 / 4 + 2.0). The faction then claims 7 more land (8 total), so then each of the 4 faction members is limited to 4.0 power (8.0 / 4 + 2.0).
In the event that a player left a faction, the power of each member would be reduced slightly if they were at or near the limit, based on the above formula.
That way, the faction would have the same limited power safety buffer per player, unless they were actually close to using their full power.

At any rate, it is an issue we'll need to review at some point.

@VietPanduh

If the data is not being saved on server shutdown but /f save works, I can only presume that you have something wrong with your server. Are you using CraftBukkit or are you using some offshoot like Tekkit or CraftBukkit?

@BONNe1704

We will probably export all strings to a file like strings.json or similar at some point to allow for customization and translation, after the 1.7 branch is completely stable (thus finally superseding the 1.6 branch).

@hawkfalcon

You would get the faction using Factions.i.getByTag(String factionName), or starting with a player name, use FPlayers.i.get(String playerName) to get the FPlayer and then use getFaction() from that to get the faction. You would of course then need to make sure the returned faction isn't null. That done, you would call getFPlayers() from the provided faction to get a Set of FPlayers.

@bizzig

Sort of. There's no direct way, but /f powerboost effectively raises the player's minimum power level as well as the maximum, which will increase a player's power if it's below that new minimum. So, you could grant the player a power boost and then remove it.

Is there a way I can use some code to see which people are in which faction for a plugin?

It would be great ir @Broseling idea see daylight :D

I have the same problem. And it would be nice, if you add translations, like language.yml or something, where can be changet default messages, like ZeeTillz asks ;)

@darkreign

No mysql support for now

@Cr0at

Use /f claim safe NUMBER

Number is a radius and in config you can change max amount (I think default max is 9) Claiming like world edit not possible for now :D

Or you can write /f autoclaim safe :D it will claim where you go :D

@skippito

There will be the ability to disable fire spread in specific faction territory (including SafeZones by default) in 1.7.

@Ukaok

It's not permanent by default because most server operators like to actually be able to take part in factions as well. It's not stored between server restarts mainly to save on data overhead. If you don't mind always permanently bypassing all protections you can use our "playersWhoBypassAllProtection" setting, though that's mainly for use by people with mods/plugins which take actions as a specific player which need to bypass protection.
