I am using this script (wich i highjacked from in here somewhere)

in sphere_serv_triggers:

///////////////////

[FUNCTION f_onaccount_login]
if !<serv.account.<args>.chars> //I have 0 players, create 5 of them
//code for creating the newplayers here
FOR 0 2
newnpc c_newplayer //CHARDEF of the "New Character"
new.go 1982,1047,-28,2 //Send NPC to "Character Creation Room"
new.account = <args> //Assign NPC to account logging in.
new.disconnect // "Disconnect" the NPC, if you don't do this the NPC, even though attached to the account, will wander around aimlessly in the room.
serv.log New Player <local._for> for Account <args> created // Log notification
ENDFOR
else
if (<serv.account.<args>.chars> < 3)
newnpc c_newplayer
serv.log making additional chars
new.go 1982,1047,-28,2
new.account = <args>
new.disconnect
endif
serv.log Chars already created // Log notification
endif


[CHARDEF c_newplayer]
ID = c_wisp
Name = Create New Character

ON=@Create
color=00961
STR = 1
DEX = 1
INT = 1
allskills = 0.0


///////////////////

Working like a charm.... but:


I like that this script skips the entire vanilla creation process wich makes sense on my shard, where i have a race and class system, so players start out with presets once they have chosen their race and class.

Only problem is, i need to bypass the menu function of players beeing able to create or delete characters (from the menu)

i know i got:

[FUNCTION f_onchar_create] and [FUNCTION f_onchar_delete]
to work with, but i cant block the entire creation process since the server has to create those three new, blank character "slots"... i want players to handle the delete/create process from within the game :/

Please help

Limit 3 chars per account, then t they will can't create new chars using default system.

This menu is handled by the client so you can either modify the client to auto select first character or do what Extreme said.

you must attach the char to the account directly on the account creation (f_onaccount_create), doing that the char will be avaible on the char select list on client login

I don't know if this is still actual, but isn't it easier just to make new and remove buttons transparent in your gumps?

It is a good visual fix, but you still need to deny it server side or players will be able to pass this restriction with another gump files.
