Hey, are you talking about Factions 1.8.2? Because if you are, the 'conf.json' for it has changed. If you want to deny the enemy from building on your territory, you have to remove "ENEMY" from "BUILD" under "factionPermDefaults." But the default configuration is set to where ENEMY is not included on the list:
As for denying the enemy to build on claimed land, the configuration above will stop them from building on a land claimed by an offline/online player. But keep in mind that an enemy can claim a land if their power is greater than the offline/online player.
You can also configure the plugin to enable TNT damage to a claimed land when a faction member of that land is online and disable TNT when he/she is offline. Let me know if you need this too. Thanks!

That command also didn't worked for me. But what I did is to manually set the faction's status to peaceful. To do this, you have to open 'factions.json' and look for the faction you want to be peaceful. Then add the flag "PEACEFUL": true under "flagOverrides":. Here's what I did:
Notice the "flagOverrides," because the default configuration for that is:
You have to add "PEACEFUL": true using the right number of spaces and enter. Let me know if this helps you. Thanks!

Hey! You have to add "RECRUIT" to that line. But the thing is, RECRUIT is a new rank given to new faction members. The Leader [**] or the Officer [*] needs to promote the Recruit [-] to Member [+] to have access to your chests/containers. So it's like a security thing before giving them privileges to your chests.
Also, if you don't want newly invited players to get the Recruit [-] rank, you can change this:
to this one...
This will make them go straight to Member [+] and you don't have to add "RECRUIT" at the "CONTAINER" permission defaults. Let us know if you still need help. Thanks!

Please disregard my question. I figured it out! The configuration is much more easier now. It is now using 'EXPLOSIONS' instead of those individual set of lines ("wildernessBlockTNT," "wildernessDenyBuild," etc. ). Here's what my 'conf.json' is set up to (notice the EXPLOSIONS):
I pretty much didn't changed anything from here. But then on my 'factions.json', I set the 'EXPLOSIONS' flag to false for the faction Wilderness (notice the EXPLOSIONS):
This configuration is doing what I want it to do. Thanks for the plugin!

Posted May 16, 2013For anyone who is getting this: [FACTION] in chat, you need to change it in your ChatManager or wherever, to {faction_roleprefix}{faction_tag}
In EssentialsChat, it would be: {faction_roleprefix}{faction_tag}{DISPLAYNAME}

Posted May 16, 2013Yeah, like the others - I'm having problems with the faction name only showing up as [FACTION] now. I'm using Essentials Chat and it used to work prior to the update =/
Nevermind... it turns out there's a string missing in the new config:
"chatTagReplaceString": "[FACTION]",
Update: This doesn't fix it for me. This is pissin' me off lol... I need to work and haven't slept because of this friggin' issue ><

Posted May 16, 2013The new f flag commands and f perms are so fucking stupid. Why would you change something that was easily configurable in a config to a shitty command with no documentation? Every big faction server allows players to open chests in enemy faction territory why would I want players to have control over that?
Sorry for raging but seriously?

Permissions are required if you have a permissions plugin.
Even so, I highly recommend using permissions any-who to give everyone the functionality of Factions.
