Enable Only One Class?

[NotHawthorne]

Is there a way to restrict players to creating only one class? There's a lot of threads about increasing the max class count, but if I were to only allow one class to be played, how would I go about that?

This can easily be done server-side by removing entries in the 'playercreateinfo' table, if you want it to also show up nicely client-side you either have to edit GlueXML's charactercreate.lua/xml or edit charbaseinfo.dbc and distribute a patch.

Also it's can be in world configuration.

Figured it out, and I'm using cMaNGOS 3.3.5a.

>ChrClasses.dbc in server files unchanged
>ChrClasses.dbc in my patch-T.mpq has had all rows except for Warrior's deleted
>CharacterCreate.lua has had MAX_CLASSES_PER_RACE set to 1
>CharacterCreate.xml has had all ClassButtons except for 1 deleted, and ClassButton 1 aligned to x=0, y=-483
>shareddefines.h in src\game has had all of the entries except for Warrior under CLASSMASK_PLAYABLE deleted

I also renamed Warrior to Adventurer, replaced UI-CHARACTERCREATE.blp (i think thats the name, im away from the computer atm) with one that only holds a single custom icon where Warrior's was placed, and set the resource type in both ChrClasses.dbc files to 0, making them use mana.

Thanks for sharing your solution for future reference, marking.
