[INFO] Possible change of Faction plugin!

[Zlexy]

Hey guys.

We're thinking on changing the Factions plugin to SimpleClans and we're wanting to know what you all think. Currently, Factions is giving you guys (the players) and us (me and Kai) alot of grief. They've really messed up the whole plugin, and it is a really unsuitable plugin for the server now.

We are wishing to change to SimpleClans which hosts a variety of awesome features that are alot of fun, at the expense of some others.

http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/simpleclans/


Things that are in SimpleClans that AREN'T in Factions:

- Clan capes!
- Clan announcements, announce attacks to your clan mates.
- Wars! The ability to 'start wars' with other factions officially and have it broadcasted to the server!
- Kill leaderboards! See who has killed the most players
- A much simpler process with commands.

Things that would be lost if we were to switch over to SimpleClans:

- Peaceful factions (THERE COULD POSSIBLY BE A WORKAROUND FOR THIS - don't panic).
- The ability to claim over an enemy factions land (there could also be a workaround for this, dont panic)

Support SimpleClans, factions isn't the best now and SimpleClans is way better.

SimpleClans look a lot better than our current Factions Plugin.
It looks relatively like our current Plugin so we don't need that much intro regarding it.

   I kinda like the more options Factions+ provide, it should make the survival world more interesting. For an example i would really enjoy jailing and torturing ppl with the new commands.

   I assume you'll be getting the PreciousStones plugin which is the ways of protection in the SimpleClans itself. I've played on servers with clans and the faction plugin has the advantage of claiming.

   The SimpleClans has it's advantages tho. It has some interesting options. It replaces the claiming from factions with /clan war command. It also has more options on controlling the ranks.

   To sum it up, SimpleClans would take some getting used to and would require additional plugins while Factions
+ is relatively well known.

Undecided

Good Points About This Faction Plugin:

• Has More Fun Commands.
• Clan Capes.

Bad Points About This Faction Plugin::

• No Peaceful Factions. (I know this might be added, but are you positively sure?)
• No Faction Chat.

Good Points About Current Faction Plugin:

• Has Great Commands Such As - /f jail etc.

Bad Points About Current Faction Plugin:

• Shows The Faction, But Doesn't Differ Faction From Faction By Color, For Example, Doesn't Make Peaceful Factions Yellow, And Allied Factions Green.
• Doesn't Show [Survivor] For Engineers+ For Some Reason - Maybe That Could Be Changed, But, Still Wouldn't Be Better.

Overall, The SimpleClans faction plugin sounds and looks better.
I'll go with supporting the SimpleClans plugin.

Sounds awesome, as long as peaceful status can be worked out im sure everyone would agree to this switch over :3

Mmmm.... I never used SimpleClans, but Factions is way better. Because, it has almost all features of SimpleClans (INCLUDING capes!), but! SimpleClans is also good.

He means that there are no peaceful setting for the SimpleClans plugin.

And just a little tip, its not a PEX problem, its an EssentialsChat problem

This change will not be happening, So I'm going to lock the topic.
