Posted Oct 10, 2012Hi, I thought I posted this previously, but I guess not. I was just wondering if factions would ever support bold/italics text for faction tags. It would be awesome if you could implement this :)

At least Java 6 is required for Factions. It looks like you're running a rather old version of Java based on that error; note that Java 6 was released over 5 years ago.

...? Did you even read what I typed lol? You can't set up permissions for something that isn't implemented in the plugin itself.
-Time delayed toggling of peaceful mode
and
-Setting peaceful mode of factions, other than your own, should be disabled. The current permission node is for staff only.

Posted Oct 9, 2012You guys should make it so players can use the /f peaceful [faction tag] in a restricted manner. It's a hassle having staff adding the peaceful areas with such a big member base (we now give our members peaceful factions if requested). The griefing of new factions from the veteran factions is simply getting to be unfair. It makes the server highly disorganized, in fact....I think most servers using factions suffer from this same affliction. New members do not find servers with factions appealing!
How it should work:
If the peaceful command is used, the faction cannot switch back to pvp for a configurable amount of time; vice versa. Also the owner of the faction should only have access to this command. Of course make the command so it's not global, restricting them to only change their own faction. ===

Posted Oct 9, 2012I have a question for all you factions fans out there.
Is it possible to make it so member created factions can't grief or claim land from each other, as a default?

Posted Oct 9, 2012Been using factions for a long time now and I really enjoy it. My one complaint is how the player info is stored. I have a lot of casuals on my server so I removed the auto-kick after n days feature, but after a few weeks and an influx or two of players/people just checking the server out the .json it stores player data in got so big and bloated that everything slowed down - big time. In fact, it took me a few days to even realize that was the source of the incredible lag I had (despite the confusingly low system load).
Are there any future plans for mysql implementation? I imagine that would make permanent storage of lots of player info less taxing than the existing json file.
