I installed factions on my server and essentials chat hates it. Its normally like
[Default] Steve :
But now Its like
<[Default] Steve>
I would like that fixed and also I am using multiverse and I would like it if you can only claim in the Factions world. Of someone could send me the config that would be good or tell me how here. If you want to talk in-game the ip is : 198.20.109.38

It's literally as simple as setting up the config.

Hey, here's what you need to do.
This configuration file is located at /mstore/factions_mconf/instance.json.
(Also, this is the most recent version of factions)
// -------------------------------------------- //
// CHAT
// -------------------------------------------- //

// Should Factions set the chat format?
// This should be kept at false if you use an external chat format plugin.
// If you are planning on running a more lightweight server you can set this to true.
"chatSetFormat": true,

// At which event priority should the chat format be set in such case?
// Choose between: LOWEST, LOW, NORMAL, HIGH and HIGHEST.
"chatSetFormatAt": "LOWEST",

// What format should be set?
"chatSetFormatTo": "<{factions_relcolor}§l{factions_roleprefix}§r{factions_relcolor}{factions_name|rp}§f%1$s> %2$s",

// Should the chat tags such as {factions_name} be parsed?
// NOTE: You can set this to true even with chatSetFormat = false.
// But in such case you must set the chat format using an external chat format plugin.
"chatParseTags": true,

// At which event priority should the faction chat tags be parsed in such case?
// Choose between: LOWEST, LOW, NORMAL, HIGH, HIGHEST.
"chatParseTagsAt": "LOW",

That's from the config xD... It's somewhere in there. Basically you have 2 options.
You could change this:
// Should Factions set the chat format?
// This should be kept at false if you use an external chat format plugin.
// If you are planning on running a more lightweight server you can set this to true.
"chatSetFormat": true,

To this:
// Should Factions set the chat format?
// This should be kept at false if you use an external chat format plugin.
// If you are planning on running a more lightweight server you can set this to true.
"chatSetFormat": false,

and it will disable factions from using its own chat settings.
Or, if you want to show the faction tags, you can change the chatSetFormatTo to whatever you want. This is the default chatSetFormatTo:
// What format should be set?
"chatSetFormatTo": "<{factions_relcolor}§l{factions_roleprefix}§r{factions_relcolor}{factions_name|rp}§f%1$s> %2$s",

If you need help on what all those variables mean, the full factions configuration help is right here: http://www.massivecraft.com/factions-co ... ormat-tags
Now you can change format to whatever you want in there, using color format codes! You know the whole &b for light blue? Same concept with the §, just different symbol. the "%1$s" part of it reads as the player's name, and the "%2$s" reads as the player's message. So the default factions format would come out looking like this:
<**Faction Username> This is a demonstration xD
If that doesn't quite help, let's say your faction name is Billies and your username is UnrealisticBeing (my name xd). It would look like this:
<**Billies UnrealisticBeing> Like so.
If you're still not understanding, feel free to add me on Skype (unrealistic.being) and I'll be sure to help you as much as possible!
