How do I enable/disable player Gargoyles/Elves for my shard?

[Xuri]

The client options to create player Elf and/or player Gargoyle characters can be enabled/disabled on the server by adjusting the CLIENTFEATURES setting in uox.ini to either include (to enable) or exclude (to disable) the flags specific to those client features. Note that this might also disable client features (like spells and skills) associated with those races. The flags in question:

• (0x80) 128: Enable ML support: Elven race, spells, skills
• (0x10000) 65536: Enable SA features: Gargoyle race, spells, skills, housing tiles

To include these flags in your CLIENTFEATURES setting, simply add the decimal value of each given flag to the total value in the setting. Similarly, to exclude the flags, subtract their decimal value from the value in the setting.

Note that even if these settings are disabled, the option to create a Elven/Gargoyle character will still show up in the client - the player will simply not be able to press the "next" arrow to complete the character creation process unless they select one of the allowed races. If you want to remove these options from showing up in the client entirely, you'll either need to use a client version from prior to adding these features (prior to 4.0.11d for Elves, prior to 6.0.14.2 for Gargoyles) - or manually modify the client files to remove these options, followed by distributing those modified files to your players.
