Config: when an attack starts, the attacker can destroy everything?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When war starts, the attacker enter the enemy town.

. The countdown starts
. can he already destroy anything? Also before the countdown ends?

is it possible to avoid it?

It depends on how you've configured the war settings in the config. And which 
war type you're using.

I use normal war type (without the flag).

How can I deactivate it?

Is there any difference if I use the war flag?

Use /ta toggle war to deactivate non-flag-war.

Read about the differences on the How Towny Works wikipage.

Ok, I tried a few config and I still have two issues: 

I'd like to configure a NON-flag-war that works something like:

. admin toggle war
. player must go into enemy territory and they can destroy only fences, doors 
and a few other blocks types
. when the plot HPs go to 0,  the player should be able to destroy everything 
in that plot.

this is the config file I created: http://pastebin.com/8y6bYQqU

THe problem is that enemies, when war is toggled, can already destroy 
everyhthing

Try changing:    editable_materials: tnt,fence,ladder,wood_door,iron_door,fire
into:    editable_materials: 'tnt,fence,ladder,wood_door,iron_door,fire'

no, when the server restart (or ta reload), the ' char is removed automatically 
from config file.

If I do enable allow_block_griefing, enemies can destroy everything, otherwise 
they can destroy nothing.

This should have been put in as a defect, you would have given us the 
config/permissions setup. I'm guessing that you've given too many permission 
nodes.

You haven't given any towny permission nodes in your other permission plugin 
have you?

Original comment by LlmD...@gmail.com on 4 Apr 2013 at 3:12

[GoogleCodeExporter]

No, no towny-related permissions in permissionsEx

ok checked it out

that section of the config is for Flag war, which is different from /ta toggle 
war.

You want to turn off allow_block_griefing: 'true' to stop the all-out griefing, 
or use flag war if you want a more refined list of editable_materials.

Thank you for your answer, unfortunately we can't use the war flag mode because 
it's always active (not activable/deactivable with something like "ta toggle 
flag")

If I set allow_block_griefing: 'false', will the enemy be able to steal objects 
from my chests? for example when the countdown is over

When the countdown runs out the plot belongs to the new town. Yes they will be 
able to enter the chests, unless lockette is used.

Ok, maybe I'm st..id; but here is what happens:

- the HP countdown ends
- the message "plot x y has fallen"

but the plot is still of the previous city and attackers can't destroy or take 
anything. 
Am I doing womething wrong in the config?

Thank you

Ok, looked into it, when a plot is taken in war, the town who lost the plot 
loses control of it for the duration of the war, it is given back to the town 
when the war is over.

Only flag war takes ownership of the plots.

yes, but.. what's the thing with gain control of a plot?

technically...if block griefing is disabled, the enemy won't be able to do 
anything in the conquered plot.
If block griefing is enabled, the enemy is able to destroy the plot before the 
countdown reaches 0
