Posted May 27, 2014Hi guys, My server is supposed to go public in a few days but we're having issues with Factions and MCore. We are using 1.7.2 Bukkit. Does that mean that Factions and MCore need to be using that version as well or do they need to be the latest versions?

Update to the latest version of MCore, there was a update few days ago which fixed the economy issues.
@SuperRanger00
Try to update your java "Unsupported major.minor version 51.0" is usually a java version related issue. I recommend you update to the latest version of Java 7.

You really should post this on the forums and not in the comments, But i would suggest installing the most uptodate mcore & factions plugin. Also make sure they are the proper versions for you're bukkit or spigot server. My guess is you're using a version of bukkit or spigot that is older than 1.7.9

I sure it got over 2.2 million downloads through being stupid.
A more likely scenario is that you didn't check out any of the links above and didnt read http://www.massivecraft.com/factions-owner?utm_source=Factions&utm_medium=DocsOwner&utm_campaign=BukkitDev#configuration or http://www.massivecraft.com/mcore?utm_source=MCore&utm_medium=Docs&utm_campaign=BukkitDev#the-universe-system-usys

Posted May 25, 2014I'm sorry, in my previous comment for 2) I put f desc, when really I meant f show, although on my server I have to use /f f faction name instead of f show like on most servers, plus it shows more than I'd like it to.

Posted May 25, 2014So I've been working on my server recently, and I've run into a few problems. So I thought I'd get some help here. 1) A lot of the default messages, such as f claim, look really dumb, but I can't change them, so I'm stuck with "you did claim land -11 from wilderness" 2)F desc shows more than I'd like it to, but I can't change it to how I see it on a lot of other servers 3) I cannot find where to make claiming land cost more and more money as you buy more, I currently have it at 100, but I'd like the next to be 120, etc. 4) The rest is pretty much all about the messages and other things, I want it to look like it does on other servers but I can't figure it out Thank you for the help you give if you do.

A custom build is when a developer modifies another developer's plugins for whatever reason. Before Factions was updated officially, some server owners/developers took the 1.7.5 code, and re-wrote portions to make it compatible with the 1.7.6+ UUID changes.
Anyways, do you have FTP access to your server? If so, you can manually upload the new files to the server.

It may be updated here, but on my hosting website, it's not. http://gyazo.com/bbb6693bc2b9b8197da4e5739de0826d ^ that still says 1.7.4. And what is a custom build? :b
