/f config factionMemberLimit 20 (or whatever)
@cblondeboy
Suit yourself. You probably were indeed using an outdated version.

well i pasted the error message in google and the responses were that the message probably meant factions was out of date, when i had just used the most recent build. also sadly, i can't paste the message because i removed factions until it updates. thanks anyway!

Posted Jan 10, 2013Which setting in the factions (Ver 1.6.9.4) config is the limit on how many players can join a faction?
Does this plugin actually have an active dev?

Are you sure you're using one of the latest versions of Factions? You'd also need to post the actual error message(s) with the stack trace included for anyone to have a clue about the cause of the problem you're having.
@xxtreepuncherxx
Cool, thanks for sharing what you did to fix it. That could be very helpful for others who run into the same problem.
@livengoodb
Presumably due to how you have WarZones configured.

Apparently it's getting to our LWC integration code, at which point LWC is checking for chests in the area, and then it's running into corrupt skull data in your world. Not either plugin's fault, your world has corrupt data.
I'm not sure of the best way for you to handle it, but you can search around yourself. A pertinent thing to Google, from your stack trace:
org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_4_6.block.CraftSkull.getSkullType(CraftSkull.java:43)

The routine which removes the data for such players is run in a separate repeating task which defaults to run every 5 minutes. This can be changed by the autoLeaveRoutineRunsEveryXMinutes setting.

Posted Jan 8, 2013Hi, I think there's a bug with the feature kicking players for inactivity.
I have this set in the config: "autoLeaveAfterDaysOfInactivity": 7.0,
But players are never kicked and Factions never disbanded for inactivity.
Is there something else I need to set for this to work? Or is it a bug?

Feel free, someone might find it useful. You can of course however always get a full list of permissions by reading the plugin.yml file inside the JAR.
Someone (read: unfortunately me, I guess) needs to eventually go through and update all of the documentation to cover the wide range of changes made in the 1.7.x/1.8.x builds. I can't say I'm eager to work on updating documentation, and lately I have little free time, so I don't know when that will happen.

I've been doing a fairly thorough re-installation of Factions on my server, mainly because I didn't set it up properly when I installed it about a year ago. (hence why I've probably been doing your head in with all the chat bugs I've been posting :-P ) anyway, while I've been doing the 1.8.0 installation I've managed to put together a fairly complete list of permissions (I reckon it's about 85% complete) if you want me to post it here. I read above that there's not much documentation for 1.8.0 is all, let me know! :)

Posted Jan 8, 2013I have tried everything I can think of.. but cant figure this problem out.
Problem: Players that die teleport to spawn rather than their faction home.
Attempted solutions: - Re installed/updated Factions - Checked configuration - Checked if Essentials was overriding factions - Moved spawn - Toggled the configuration on and off to teleport to home - Disabled noCheatPlus, still the same problem
Current plugins: -mcmmo -factions -essentials -anti endercgest/ender pearl plugins -world border -chest shop -NoCheatPlus -CompactNocheatPlus -floauction -world edit -world guard -votifier -ontime -vault -whatisit -pvptimer -orebfuscator -potocallib -silkspawner -player heads -obsidian destroyer -announcer -combat log

Yeah, try removing the Factions data files and see if you get any errors with a fresh start. If that fixes it, I'd appreciate it if you could PM me with a copy of your data files just to satisfy my curiosity as to what might have happened to cause that variety of errors in 1.8.0.

Posted Jan 8, 2013Talking to the other owner of my server. She said she installed BattleTag and that's when things got messed up. We uninstalled battle tag but still get the errors.
Im not sure if that's when she noticed the errors or if it had something to do with it.

one more error I saw and the onEnable part of the server loading
We just installed Factions for the 1st time about 2 days ago. version 1.8. We never had a lower version before.
We only have 2 factions right now. Only let 2 mods make them to learn and test it out. each faction has maybe 20 or so players in it.
I might delete the db files tomorrow and restart and remake the factions to see if it is a db error.
I could pm you my IP if you want to come on the server and see if there's anything you could look at.

Looks like Factions might not quite have started up correctly; your data files might be corrupt or something. That's a lot of bizarre NPEs in strange places that you shouldn't be seeing them. Were there any errors from Factions in your log right when the server started up, on any of the recent times you've started it?
