Read the message right below yours. Or, in short, yes, you need to update to 1.6.9.1 or 1.7.7 beta for CraftBukkit 1.3.2-R0.1 and above.

Just updated to the Craftbukkit 1.3.2 R1.0 (2377) and restarted and all my factions info is wiped. Luckily I have had this problem before and backed up factions right before updating. My version is Factions v1.6.9 Should I update to 1.6.9.1? Got this message: 2012-10-03 06:46:24 [SEVERE] Error occurred while enabling Factions v1.6.9 (Is it up to date?) I cant even type /f and get anything to come up. When I do F/map I get: 2012-10-03 07:04:25 [WARNING] [Factions v1.6.9] Non existing factionId 0 requested! Issuing cleaning! In log

If you can give me some direction that would be great. Should I update? Should I replace the whole faction folder first or after??

It absolutely is wrong. I'll give you the long explanation, though I'm really not sure why I'm bothering.

For the CraftBukkit 1.3.2-R0.1 Beta release the CraftBukkit team moved their bundled-in GSON libs to a new package name (along with all other bundled-in libs), which broke our plugin since it requires GSON. That prompted our update to Factions to point to the new GSON lib location for compatibility; naturally, it makes our latest builds of Factions only compatible with CraftBukkit 1.3.2-R0.1 or newer. They have not changed their lib paths again since that recent release of CraftBukkit. I've checked the new Recommended Build 1.3.2-R1.0 myself to confirm it hasn't changed again.

Our "version check" actually only checks for the new GSON lib package name, and triggers the error message if it is not found (and thus you have an older CraftBukkit version which it can't work on due to the changed GSON paths). If you didn't get that message it would instead just give a nasty ClassDefNotFound error and stack trace. Instead the error message gives you a clear indication of what's wrong. Some people apparently either just don't understand the message somehow or for whatever reason don't believe it. I've seen several simply misread the version numbers and think that their 1.3.1-R2.0 is newer than 1.3.2-R0.1 because of the last part of the version, apparently not paying attention to the first part of the version number.

Is that clear enough?

EDIT: I will however again reiterate that modified builds of CraftBukkit (such as Tekkit, CraftBukkit+, or whatever) might not necessarily stick to the bundled lib structure the main project uses, thus if you're using such a modified CraftBukkit it's possible you could run into this error from Factions due to lib package name differences.

Its not wrong man, i redownloaded it and checked multiple times. From the looks of the comments, many other users are having exactly the same issue.

'I might be a little late to this, but I was having the exact same problem as you and I fixed it!

Go into essentials config.yml and scroll down to "EssentialsChat"

In the line that goes something like this "format: <{DisplayName}>: {Message}>" Add [FACTION] to the beginning, so it looks like "format: [FACTION] <{DisplayName}>: {Message}" Now EssentialsChat and Factions should play nice with each other.'

Fixes the issues with EssentialsChat. Thank you!

"chatTagPadBefore" does not work with EssentialsChat. Using Factions 1.6.9.1 and Essentials 2.9.4.

I've made a ticket on kolpy99's issue, because I have the exact same problem.

It's no error on the server itself, the problem is with Factions, it seems to override whatever HeroChat has formatted, and it gives an output of what Essentials use as Default Format.

Both plugins are enabled, Factions overrides the chat format, but the chat only. If you for example try to do /me is eating breakfast. It will format the way herochat wants it to, but not when a regular player is chatting.

As far as I know, no. All of my users were not able to use items, blocks, or interact with things within their own territory. I had to downgrade back to 1.3.1.

In 1.6.9.1, is there a way to make all new factions automatically enemy all other factions? Basically, we want all factions to be enemied to each other by default.

After I updated to the new Bukkit version the factions file is reset and even if I installed a backup of the old files it keeps resetting itself. Is there a fix for this or what am I doing wrong? Everything is working fine except factions :(
