Posted Aug 25, 2012I'll see about making a quick compatibility update to support the latest beta and dev builds of CraftBukkit in the next day or two. If you've updated to one of those builds and are now getting a GSON error at startup, this applies to you.
Still in recovery from surgery and taking it easy, so I make no promises.

Posted Aug 24, 2012@Brettflan @Cayorion If u ever see this, reply.
I have someone who found this and he is messing up the server ( which is Diamcraft )
Explanation: When a Normal Player (it could be anyone(try with a normal player)) goes inside the faction land, (let say the faction land it's called Sharpness) the Normal Player types /f sethome Sharpness and it will set the faction home without being on that faction.
The exploiter did this to many factions, he set factions home in the lava and so when the people from the faction /f home they will die. The messed up part is that he can go to a wilderness area and do /f sethome and change the /f sethome wilderness without saying this is a system faction or w.e. So if you can fix this, that will be awesome.

Posted Aug 24, 2012Erm, weird bug on our server. Involving SafeZones. So far TWICE, the second time was more severe, this has happened.
About 2-3 days ago, all of the safezones were unclaimed. We thought it was a hacker, or someone who exploited a loophole in our permissions.
Just today (About 10 minutes ago), my Co-Owner contacted me saying that "All the SafeZones are gone again."
I got on, started claiming back land, when we then noticed that some of the other factions with large bases, had also lost all of their land. The members of these factions weren't online, so we had to safezone them for now. But is this a bug? Or a specific issue with our server?
Thanks.

Sorry I forgot to say where :)
You need to comment it out of the pom.xml in CraftBukkit and then compile it.

Where are you commenting that out? In the plugin itself?

Posted Aug 24, 2012I have a small problem. I am currently using towny and factions on one server. My interest were making them work on two different worlds. I can disable towny completly in one world, but is it possible with factions?

Posted Aug 24, 2012Sorry to be spamming up the comments section..
I need to be able to configure my server so that:
I'm basically aiming to have two teams, each one run by an OP, who each have their own (TINY!) protected base to gather items in. No space in the (bedrock walled) base to build. Factions cannot cross the threshold into the opposing factions bunker (so overall, only about 20 blocks maximum would need any 'protection'). The fact that these bunkers are tiny promotes people to move out once they gather items, into a team-based PVP world, promoting either small bands of allies, or an all-out huge team base (no player can place their own protection, though, so leaving the bunker makes you open to griefing, theft, pvp etc). This is why factions and homes must only be able to be created by OPs, and why it must be impossible to leave a faction once you've joined it (or at least be unable to join another once you leave)
Is this actually possible with the Factions mod, or would I be better off with something else? Thank you :)

Its an issue with bukkit R2.0 use R 1.0 and it should work. Factions needs to be updated for R2.0.

Posted Aug 24, 2012I am having an issue with factions and EssentialsChat with console. Everytime someone speaks in chat (not faction chat) there is a big list of errors/spam so we cant really see anything with console anyway to fix?

Posted Aug 24, 2012I'm having some trouble with Factions mod, it's not generating a conf.json file in plugins/Factions, only Board, Factions, Players and Tags (of which, all contain simply '{ }'
Did I do something wrong? Did my server not apply it properly? Or is it perhaps not compatible with Tekkit/Bukkit 1.3.1-R2.0
Can anybody give me a hand?
