Hey,
i have a PVE Server. PVP is on, but not allowed.
Now i want a little PVP Zone, where PVP is allowed.
I think i can do it with WAR/SAFEZONES or ?
I dont know how i configure that. In server settings pvp on or off ?
edit :
Essentials always say "Unknow Command /f !" .
Set these damage variables:
# Damage multiplier for when a user is attacked by a non-allied user outside his/her own faction. Default 1.
neutralDamage=1
# Damage multiplier for when a user is attacked by a user inside the same faction. Default 0.
friendlyDamage=0
# Damage multiplier for when a user is attacked by an allied user. Default 0.70.
allyDamage=0.70
To this:
# Damage multiplier for when a user is attacked by a non-allied user outside his/her own faction. Default 1.
neutralDamage=0
# Damage multiplier for when a user is attacked by a user inside the same faction. Default 0.
friendlyDamage=0
# Damage multiplier for when a user is attacked by an allied user. Default 0.70.
allyDamage=0
Then to set up a "PVP" zone, set a 4 corner warzone (/f warzone 1/2/3/4 and /f warzone set).
There is no "PVP on/off," instead it is a ton more customizable.
Also, if /f is not a known command, make sure /f does not have a space in front of or after itself in the commands.ini. Then make sure you actually have the command assigned to your rank. Type /help to see your available commands. It will not break unless something is not configured correctly.
Edited:
I had a strange error today: all of the buildings and other items (except the ones which were in my backpack) were lost, all of the .sav files were 0 bytes long. I had a .bak save file from the morning so I was able to restore it. I have found one error in RustEssentials log (which is still there so this might not caused the lost sav files):

Ignore the error, it has to do with the death leaderboard.
As for your save data disappearing, Essentials does not touch save data - so it was not the mod. It could have been human error or your GSP. Either way, just cross your fingers that it doesn't mess up again. Once again, Essentials will not cause save data disappearance or corruption.
