[Help Request!] Restrict races and classes

(1/3) > >>

Tipsy101:
Hello, a lot of people like to create NEW classes/races. On my server I was looking to block the following races: Orc, Tauren, Troll, Forsaken, Draenei and Night Elf. These races have a corresponding id as do their classes. If I simply deleted the appropriate class ids and race ids entries on my arcemu db so that everytime a player attempts to login they get disconnected.

This doesn't seem like the 'real' way of removing the classes and races but would it work?

Steff:
For safty you can do what you have written serverside. For good handling you should edit the charcreation-lua and delete the options for this races. So if your players use your patch they cant select the races. If they dont use it your server avoind the creation. But keep in mind that you need an patched WoW.exe four interface modifications.

Tipsy101:
My method seems almost 'bad practice' and not 'official'. Thanks steff, I think I will probably have to do it serverside as 1) People can't be trusted and they will attempt to bypass such restrictions 2) Seems easier.

Steff, you're a godsend.

Steff:
You should do both. Serverside for savty and clientsite for good usage.

Keta:
Yea I agree with Steff.
I suggest editing the different Lua files and XML files so players cannot even select it. Makes it all the much easier.

Besides, isn't Modcraft mostly based on clientside modding? :P
Of course serverside modding questions are welcome here, don't get me wrong! :)

Thanks
Keta
