FactionChat
In the most recent versions of the oh so popular Factions (1.7 and above), you may have noticed that the faction chat feature was removed. Faction chat really comes in handy at times to easily talk with whole groups, whether you're planning with your allies to take down that faction you just hate that or discussing top secret plans with your clan. This plugin is there to fill in that gap and bring back this high demand feature, aiming to replicate what has now been removed from Factions.
The author of FactionChat is constantly updating to make sure that FactionChat is designed to work without any bugs and function at top-notch performance out-of-the-box.
Features.
- Faction-only, ally, truce and enemy chat modes
- Send a message to other factions, even if you're not allies with them
- Staff chat channels
- Ability to spy on all messages
- Easy to use chat-mode toggles/commands

To-do/possible updates.

- I'm always open to suggestions!
Support and like my work? Donate to keep development going.
I have spent many hours creating and perfecting this plugin for public use, and I expect many more hours still to come through updating and adding features requested by the community. You can even spare a buck or two, after all, every little bit helps! If you are unable to donate, it would still be awesome if you could let me know how the plugin is working for you and leave a thanks in the comments section.

Author debug access.
In the v1.5 update, I have added a new config option called "AllowAuthorDebugAccess". If set to true and your server is running in online-mode, then it allows me, james137137, to use the follow commands: /fchatother, /fc jrmod, /fc mod, /fc srmod, /fc jradmin, /fc admin, /fc spy, /fc update, and /fc reload. Please note that this does not give me the ability to use any other commands. You may never even need to enable this, unless you personally need help and have invited me to test something for/with you. This feature is enabled by default, however it can easily be toggled through the configuration.
MCStats.
This plugin utilizes Hidendra's metrics system in order to keep track of the plugin's popularity, as well as other metadata. The following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:
- Unique identifier
- Java version
- Offline/online mode
- FactionChat version
- Server version (i.e. Bukkit 1.6.4, Spigot 1.7.2)
- OS name, version and architecture
- Amount of CPU cores
- Amount of players online
- Metrics version
Opting out of this service can be done by editing the config.yml and changing MetricsOptOut to true.
Inbuilt Updater
This plugin utilizes an external version checking system, which means that the plugin makes a connection to curseforge.com and the following may occur:
- The plugins version checked
- Downloading of the plugin files
The update can only occur when a player with permission "FactionChat.Update" runs the command "/fc update" or any /FactionChat alias with "update".
FactionChat is a stable plugin that is used by about 1,400 servers worldwide; that's a lot! Thanks to everyone who make this happen.

Dev version of BanManager? The dev builds of v4.0 were removed, so are you talking about v5?
@Theepwner
Fixed BanManager bit If you are using the dev version please set to true in config
@Theepwner
ok I see where I have gone wrong.
Getting errors too with BanManager 4.0 and the latest version of this: http://pastebin.com/ngRJExkN
@deaddude22
ok could you upload me your current BM .jar?
@james137137
It's at v4.0 currently...
@deaddude22
I'm getting to the point of not wanting to support Banmanager.
Please update BanManager to the latest version
Error with latest version: http://pastebin.com/4kig1sRD
@HiddenOwner
Its quite possible Its something I did wrong, uploaded FactionChat 1.9.7 (might work now but let me know if it doesn't)
This is really awesome. I have noticed though that you cant enter leader or officer chat without being in spy mode. At least on my server, I can see the chat go to the console but it doesn't come to the client. Is that meant to be that way? I kind of figured it was a way for the server officers or server leaders to talk with each other openly. Maybe I am wrong or is it set to need spy mode on?
@jesse131
thats fine. I'm glad it was sorted
@james137137
Sorry about the delay. I was indeed not using the latest BanManager (No idea how...).
It's fixed now. Again, sorry about the confusion.
@Milk_milk
no problem
Thanks alot for adding the additional staff chats!
@jesse131
FactionChat 1.9.5 has been compiled to work for BanManager v4.0 found at http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/ban-management/files/53-ban-manager-v4-0/ (md5: 93cc6545328aa888c42da0684144ad6d)
When looking at your error: http://hastebin.com/zehabuquxi.avrasm
it says: Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: me.confuser.banmanager.BmAPI
This means that your version of BanManager is not the official build from confuserr (Version 4.0 linked above)
Could you send me link of your BanManager you are using?
@james137137
I think you misunderstood me :P.
As for FactionChat 1.9.5: - It doesn't work on BanManager v4.0 - It does work on BanManager's latest dev build (which I cannot upgrade to at the moment).
@jesse131
It should be compatible with the latest version (BanManager v4.0)
oh the dev version....
Try my latest dev build and see if it work and report back to me :D

@james137137
Would be great if you could make it compatible with the latest BukkitDev version.
The latest dev build upgrades to UUIDs, which the web database is not compatible with.
@jesse131
update banmanager to the latest version please
Getting the following error using the latest FactionsChat and Ban Management: http://hastebin.com/zehabuquxi.avrasm
Plugin does not work at all. Using /f chat, it says the channel changed, but actually it doesn't do anything.
