No, factions is only chunk and never region/cuboid based. If you would like it be able to select the regions and the according chunks get claimed, that would be something for an addon to factions.
@Cytooxien
The main developers are not interested in adding such a language file. You could make a pull request on github for it though.
@ShineeBoss
You must set the permanent flag to false for that faction (given you run 1.8).
@CowDistributor
You recently upgraded from 1.6 to 1.8 I have the feel. Factions does now work with flags. With this, you can make some factions to be safezone like with a costum name ect.
@TNT24X
The FAQ helps, it tells you that tge command name has changed to f access.

Factions naming for the highest and second highest person in a faction changed from 1.6 to 1.8. .
/F admin is something completly different in 1.6.9 and 1.8. In 1.6 it means that you hand over the highest position in a faction, in 1.8 it means that you are admin on a server and can bypass all protection from anyones faction. The fact that there is no proper documentation for 1.8 is a bit weird, but you must live with it. Just make sure you don't mix them up.
@Socoolluke
No we won't. You can fork the plugin yourself on github and maintain the old version for yourself, but the official support for 1.6.9 and 1.8.2 will stop when 2.0 is ready and has its documentation.
@BenTheBeast123
Then don't use the kit permissions, use single nodes.
@tomasab
Work with a proper permissions plugin that grants one rank per default. Assign the kit.fullplayer to this ranks and your worries are gone.
@Palmamember
This config option was taken away in 1.8.2 and no, you shouldn't downgrade the version.
@AngrySlic
It is not possible, no. You can write a pull-requestnon github that includes this feature if you like.

Posted May 29, 2013I can't find territoryEnemyDenyBuild or territoryEnemyDenyBuildWhenOffline in the file, nor does the command work to change it. Was this removed from factions? or is there something I can do to get them to work?

Posted May 29, 2013Hey, I was wondering if any of you could help me. I am using the "Simple Prefix" plugin and for some reason it isn't displaying the faction coloration "Where it should be red for an enemy, green for ally etc etc" This is the current template I'm using:
format: '[factions_relcolor][{factions_tag_}]&f[prefix][name][suffix]: '
It shows the faction tag perfectly fine but it isn't showing any color. The factions conf.json file is set up fine along with everything else. Do I just need to add color nodes around the factions_recolor/factions_tag node? Thanks.

Posted May 29, 2013Hi,is it possible to make it so you use items to create a faction instead of money(iConomy).For example:it takes 5 diamonds to create a faction,so when you type /f create <factionname> it takes 5 diamonds from your inventory and creates the faction.

Posted May 29, 2013Hi,
May can you help me, i have a problem with my server. When Players want to blow up a chest with a creeper or TNT, they don't broke out. So Players can't access to the stuff and it's very boring. I have checked out my plugins files as WorldGuard / CoreProtect and Essentials and everyone accept TNT damages to PVE and PVP. So when TNT is activated on wildness, all blocks are broken but not the chest. Same thing with TNT canon to a faction territory.
I don't have chest plugin protection as Lockette or LWC. There is the list of the plugins : Anticheat Citizens Combatag Coreprotect Essentials Factions Modifyworld Multiworld Pex Shop WorldEdit WorldGuard
Thanks you

Posted May 29, 2013Would it be dumb to ask the fullplayer kit to be set as default again? I can found everywhere how to delete it, but i can't find WHERE to put it, or even from WHERE people did erase it. I'm noob at this, but have easily installed all plugins and configured them easily, but can't figure out how to reinstall the full player kit as default. Mi friends can't use factions, but are burning in desire to declare war to each other! I would be thankfull receiving some help in there

when i looked at the kit full-player it says it gives admin? now i tested giving the admin in that kit to a player & it allowed them to open anyone's chest in any faction... so i just only added all the permissions but admin in the list of full-player & half-player it has in it
right now as it stands not even admin can use /f sc only the owner group witch just has all ~added ok i tested removing all permissions & tested some kits but now think u just have it mis-labeled if i give someone "factions.admin" they can go around stealing stuff out of other factions chests for example but under factions.kit.halfplayer u show it as a permission given included, later down the line it says "factions.admin – hand over your admin rights" now after reading all this i was like hmm why would nomral user get this in a kit? maybe they mean faction leader rights? seeing how owner was for set chunks witch was than renamed to access
anyways i dont think halfplayer kit has "factions.admin" so im guessing that is a MT, but i still would like to know the individual permissions node for /f sc so if/when i wanna go back to the individual permissions setup

Posted May 29, 2013when i type "/f config worldguardbuildpriority true" in chat it says that "No configuration setting "worldGuardBuildPriority" exists."
Can anyone help? I also looked in the config and it wasn't there under worldGuardChecking; i subsequently pasted it in there and set it to true, but it didn't work.
EDIT: I have already tried redownloading and installing and all that.
