Posted Aug 11, 2012All commands are being doubled, meaning if you promote someone to admin it demotes them in the next line.

Posted Aug 11, 2012The latest faction update broke a lot of chat plugins. It's frustrating because I can't show prefixes in chat any more so I'm forced to use 1.6.7. Please fix this.

Posted Aug 11, 2012I use HeroChat and bPermissions and using the new 1.6.9 factions does not work for me anymore. I get no errors. But there is no chatting format anymore and the only time there is while using 1.6.9 is when some one is in a faction and it still is not the same as while using 1.6.8 and how I want it to look. Here are a few images and my configs for bPerm, herochat and factions that matter. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/30778573/factions.zip

It doesnt seem like a "general" problem, as a lot of people are commenting on the same thing.
I just tried both PEX chat, and essentials chat, both were messed up with factions 1.6.9, revert back to 1.6.8 and its fine.

Posted Aug 11, 2012@corraddave Your issue is in essentials if your using permissionsex chat manager you need to put the handling of chatting in essentials to false. Its the third row down in the essentials config. Or if you want to use essntials chat manager then you need to take out permissionsex chat manager. I had this problem before took me a minute to figure it out.

IM definitely running 1.3.1. Sorry ive been running servers for over a year i know what im doing. Something in your update breaks things or its because the Permissionsex chat plugin is not updated. When it does finally update i guess we'll know lol.

Posted Aug 11, 2012I'm using the beta version of factions and got a few questions.
First of all we are using our own chat plugin custom coded and /f c and commands like that don't work. I tried install a suported chat plugin and then when loading the plugin it show that it hooked in to that plugin and then everything works fine. Is there any api documentation so we can make our own chat plugin work with faction chat and tags? Or couldn't you use vault for chat events instead of supporting xx plugins?
And second before there was options so you could make it so like tnt don't explode in offline factions and does in online factions and delay when factions are counted as online. But with the new version this seems to be completely removed while it's really useful and needed for our setup.
And is there any way possible to separate TNT and Creeper explosions? I want players be able to use TNT but not creepers in the old config this could easy be done but now not anymore i think.
And when factionless players attack each other it say dammage reduced but they aren't in any faction? That should be like before that it's only for enemy factions.
And is there a command to undo setting access? Like i did /f access player worstboy32 but got no idea how to remove it again.
And would it be possible if you have set so you can't claim in wg regions that if you have /f admin enabled that you can bypass that check and claim it? It's annoying to change the config reload claim some safe/war zone and then change it again and reload again.

Factions doesn't insert world names into chat.
@siemaeniu500
You look to have player data which is screwed up in players.json, specifically a player who has no role in their faction defined. Has somebody been manually editing that file on your server?
And with that, I don't have any more time to spend troubleshooting general problems people have.

Your log says you're using 1.7.6, not 1.6.9 like you just told me. That's a good example of logs being useful. For 1.7.x the chat tag replacements are different, not just "[FACTION]". Read changelog here for details:
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/factions/files/38-1-7-5-beta/
Those tags do work with EssentialsChat; that's one of the things I tested and confirmed working.
@EDawg878
Not sure, I haven't checked Vault. It's possible they've changed something which requires an update on our side.
@idiotonastic
Again, that would be a good example of needing more information; "chatTagReplaceString" is only used in 1.6.9, as chat handling was completely reworked in 1.7.5 and above. "chatTagReplaceString" in 1.6.9 definitely works with EssentialsChat as that's one of the things I tested. Again though, I can't speak for any other chat plugins.

What chat plugin are you using? What version of Factions? Is there an error message? What is "messed up" about it exactly? You've provided no useful information at all.
So far people seem to be having problems with HeroChat and with a chat plugin which comes with PermissionsEx.
