the multiple homes thing is broken, it wonly works if i give essentials.sethome.multiple.*

if i enter a number tho i can have a max of 3 sethomes, no matter what i do

i.e.:
the permission essentials.sethome.multiple.five wont work
in the config its set to 5

but it would only let me have 3 homes

its not a permission error since i tested that out with * and all kinds of essentials.? permissions

yep, this is the whole section:

sethome-multiple:
default: 1
earl: 2
count: 3
duke: 4
lord: 5
king: 6
saint: 10
five: 5
six: 6
seven: 7
nine: 9
thirteen: 13

is there some global limit option somewhere hidden?
because i moved back to the "old" essentials and it works with pretty much the same config (except the additional settings yours offers ofc)

i can set unlimited homes with essentials.sethome.multiple.*
but whenever i define it like essentials.sethome.multiple.five it tells me "you can only set 3 homes blah"

essentials.sethome.multiple
essentials.sethome.multiple.[set name]
Are my perms and they work fine.
Maybe inheritance is messing about. Not sure.

@melinstagibson So your config looks like this:
five: 5

What permissions plugin?

pex and im not using inheritance on this server

I'd recommend checking your indenting, if it's defaulting to '3', that means it didn't find 'five' in the list. There should be two spaces before the 'five'.
