Hey!

The task is simple: remove all class icons from the character creation screen (technically, it will be one default class that everyone will have). But the problem is that Cataclysm client xml files look nothing like the WotLK's, at least judging by the tutorials on editing those.

Could anyone help?

As long as you don't want to use other classes you can at least delete race-class combinations from DBC (CharBaseInfo.dbc in WotLK). This won't actually hide unused classes from UI, but it will at least disable their creation, so they will be gray. Temporary solution which I would call good enough, but if you really want to delete those icons entirely or don't want to disable another race-class combinations, then you'll need to edit that XML and thats probably not something I can help you with.

Please help

CharacterCreate.lua

CharacterCreate.xml

Anyone?

Ok, I fixed this problem, but now I have the UPDATE MAX_RACES thing. I tried removing the xml check - doesn't help.

CharacterCreate.lua

CharacterCreate.xml

[Смердокрыл]

Ok, I performed some dark rituals (leaving MAX_RACES = 12, and just forcing the value later in the code) and achieved this:

I absolutely cannot move any further. I've tried many different things and none worked.

CharacterCreate.lua

CharacterCreate.xml

If you need to remove class buttons from CharacterCreate, you are gonna need to remove the classes in ChrClasses.dbc aswell. CharacterCreate needs a button for every class, so it can automatically add stuff like names and descriptions.

And just hide the buttons?

You could, but depending on what classes he want to remove, there are gonna be gaps between some classes.

If I'm not allowed to actually delete the icons, I'll just move them outside of the visible screen

I can adjust their position, can't I?

 

But I thought there's a certain problem with loading worgen, since all the races above are shown properly. Am I wrong?

[Смердокрыл]

I moved the class icons instead of deleting them, but it didn't work.

The error is in line 3 of the following code (_G["CharacterCreateRaceButton"..index.."NormalTexture"].........)

for i=1, select("#", ...), 3 do
	coords = RACE_ICON_TCOORDS[strupper(select(i+1, ...).."_"..gender)];
	_G["CharacterCreateRaceButton"..index.."NormalTexture"]:SetTexCoord(coords[1], coords[2], coords[3], coords[4]);
	_G["CharacterCreateRaceButton"..index.."PushedTexture"]:SetTexCoord(coords[1], coords[2], coords[3], coords[4]);
	button = _G["CharacterCreateRaceButton"..index];
	button:Show();
	if ( select(i+2, ...) == 1 ) then
		button:Enable();
		SetButtonDesaturated(button);
		button.name = select(i, ...)
		button.tooltip = select(i, ...);
	else
		button:Disable();
		SetButtonDesaturated(button, 1);
		button.name = select(i, ...)
		button.tooltip = select(i, ...).."|n".._G[strupper(select(i+1, ...).."_".."DISABLED")];
	end
	index = index + 1;
end

I now have a very... weird problem. I removed the edited xml and lua from the patch, so the original would be loaded, but the error is still there. What the fuck?

[Смердокрыл]

Ok, I fixed that (apparently the previous patch also contained those files, so I had to recompile it), but the actual lua error problem still stands. Any suggestions?

Hum ok, you have only 18  RACE_ICON_TCOORDS but  you have MAX_RACES = 12 so you must have 24 in at least RACE_ICON_TCOORDS

Thanks! Now everything is fixed and I've achieved the desired result.

Hello everyone, I have the same needs, how does the WLK version hide the career selection button?

the career selection button?

U mean races or classes? If u mean classes and u are using wotlk, u can do as amorath said in the second post.

Delete the combinations u dislike in charbaseinfo.dbc and this should disable the creation of those race / class combinations.

I just want to hide the classes when creating a character

CharacterCreate.xml

CharacterCreate.lua

This is the interface file I use, can you help me see it?

all the classes ? ?

I dont think this would be an option, a class is needed in wotlk

Yes, there is a default class for all races, I just wanted to hide it in the interface so it doesn't look like I need to select a class

What is the class id of this class in ChrClasses.dbc?

If i know that one i'll make an adjusted CharBaseInfo.dbc for u. That should do the trick

The only profession of all races is Druid, ID=11

I am currently only allowed to use occupations of all races: Druid

 

 

[Furioz]

This should do the trick.

ONLY REPLACE THESE FILES IN UR CLIENT PATCH, DO NOT MOVE THEM IN UR SERVER DBC FOLDER!


I deleted the entries that dindt match what u want in charbaseinfo so all races with class id 11. This disables all other class combiantions for all races.

I also deleted the classes from chrclasses.dbc, this disabled the class options and buttons in the client.

AGAIN only leave these dbc files in ur patch, do not place them in ur server. Chrclasses will probably crash ur startup because it's missing the needed classes for wotlk to work with. The client just misses the info so it cant display it, server can still handle the disabled options if needed.

This solution is not optimal,

You can hide some CheckButtons in CharacterCreate.xml and use CharCreateClassButton1 of the class to achieve the effect
