Posted Jul 15, 2014One issue is the dependancy with mcore plugin, which an innerpiece of this plugin but not updated very often (almost 2 monthes) and strong dependency with bukkit versions (use packages specific names) : likely just a rebuild with new packages works ! People will complain but I shall update my server and pause factions because nor compliant with bukkit update.

Posted Jul 14, 2014I have it setup so anyone can access containers in any faction claimed land. Although if the faction leader uses the /f access command it can block people from other factions from opening their containers.
I don't like this as it is abusive to the way the server runs. I have tried setting it up as the following but it seems players that already cast the command factions land is still protected (unless this is something different.)
How do i prevent faction leaders from protecting their chests? "ACCESS": [ "LEADER", "OFFICER", "MEMBER", "NEUTRAL", "ALLY", "ENEMY", "TRUCE", "RECRUIT" ],

It is documented, yes. And that's not even the comment. Real comment: "Right,
I'm wanting to know if you could add world support so we can disable it for certion worlds -
Say I want factions in a pvp world but not in the main world?
If you catch my drift :)"
@Red_beat_blue
I'm fully aware of most people being clueless in the comments, and need the answer shouted in the face before they get it. Which is why I don't like when people ask the developers to make something (that will take hours of their spare time, absolutely for free, so the 12 year old people can earn a few bucks) that's already in the plugin, and they don't even bother reading the whole documentation (which the developers also have spent time on writing, again for free). Peace.

Posted Jul 14, 2014One problem, someone can join your faction, and grief it, or if they can't grief it, they can TP enemies there and leave the faction while the base gets destroyed. Maybe add a faction contract thingy so some players can't leave for a set amount of time or something.

@CraftercbGaming
Check your modifyworld config or any plugin you may have installed such as essentials Protect If you dont have those plugins consider getting them to manage tnt explosions and mob explosions, etc.

If you knew as much as your mouth proclaimed, you would've seen that the "thousands" of comments you look at are mostly posted by clueless people that need to be directed to the right source since they have given up and tried all else to come here and post a comment directly on the plugins board. however some are illiterate and post randomly, therefore i seek the ones that could be directed unwillingly and by all choice to their appropriate manifests.

"I've looked at the documentation and through some comments, but I still don't know. How can i change the amount of power/money used up to gain land for a faction?"
Its not on the documentation. Closest thing that would be is econRel, but what is Rel even standing for?...

Excuse me, but I'm super tired of the thousands comments on plugin pages, asking about something that the developer has spent time on documenting, all for free. Therefore I don't tell the direct solution, but encourage other people to find it themselves in the documentation.
