As for the issue of a player deleting a character on the gump without your files:

Code:

[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 4
           newnpc c_newplayer //CHARDEF of the "New Character"
            new.go 2497, 2064 //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> < 5)
        newnpc c_newplayer
        serv.log making additional chars
        new.go 2497, 2064
        new.account = <args>
        new.disconnect
    endif
    serv.log Chars already created // Log notification
endif

That way when they log in if they have less that whatever you have allowed the slots would refill with the new ones

hah, sorry. I didnt mean to come across negatively to you. I knew you were for the idea, I just was very excited to show it off in action!

I was going to do a script in game that would do what you suggested, but I think your idea is much cleaner/better, so I'll go for that instead. Then, all I'll need to do in game is run a script that disconnects/removes the player currently logged in on command.

Something simple, along these lines:
.deletechar yes <password>
(Confirm screen), Click "yes".
Logout Character, and removes it.

When they log back in, your script launches and a new character is created.
