Force Class/Race start

[KhaN]

I would like to know if its possible to force race/class after a character have been created and enter world for the first time, like startzone variable ?
I smell a "No", but i have to ask ;p

Not with a db variable

This mean its possible by modifying code ?

Shortly :
Client selects class/race in client EQ interface,a nd there is no way to prevent this. The client sends char creation request to server. Server replies ok or not ok.

You can either :
- reply no to any class/race combiantion you don't want, thus force only limited race/class combo (even limit it to 1 combination). Remember the 'name is not valid' irritating message ?
- reply yes every time, then server sends back char info for client to show up list, and when client is selected, is shows as the race/class you want. i'm not sure you can alter player selection as soon as the end of selection screen, or if you have to make the client log in again ...

For either method, you need to alter the code, think it's in world.exe source, but can't remember where. I'll check when i 'm done trying Guild Wars beta :)

BTW, i found a better solution, adding corfuben code $permaclass, $permarace and $permagender, now i need to find how to make a function $permadeity :p
