[v1.0.0-1.0.5] Ignore Race/Class Locks

Prompted by
this thread, I'm finally getting around to releasing the
Ignore Race/Class Locks addon that's been gathering metaphorical dust on my hard drive for a while. This addon bypasses the lock check for races and classes in the character creation dialog, allowing you to create characters with locked races or classes. Note that this addon doesn't actually unlock any races or classes, as I certanly wouldn't want to deprive anyone of the "fun" and "excitement" of accidentally tripping over whatever obscure and convoluted sequence of events was supposed to actually unlock any particular race or class.
[edit 2013-11-12 11:44pm:
Technical info:]
Code: Select all
Superload:
mod.dialogs.Birther:
getLock() [to return false for race/class locks]
applyingDescriptor() [to remove the allow_build[] check]

Ahahaha, Zizz, you're a blessing. I gave you a little
shout-out over on the B12 forum's T4 thread, pimping this addon out a bit.
Now to go download it, turn it on, and never turn it off again

Can this also unlock the Wildfire/Cold trees for the Archmage?

Possibly; I'll need to investigate and find out where that lock is enforced.

It looks like wildfire (etc) is checked in data/birth/classes/mage.lua. Moving them from unlockable_talents_types to talents_types (and deleting the last bit) should work. Also, with Poisons.

Ooh, no no no,
major bad juju overloading stuff in data/.
[sound F/X: source diving] Ah, but the lock is actually enforced in a method in Birther, which I'm already superloading, so that shouldn't be a problem.
[sound F/X: coding] And I've pushed out a new version of the addon with this change.

And migrated again to v1.0.5. I've slightly tweaked how the Wildfire/Cold tree locks are bypassed; let me know if anything breaks.

Will be there an update to the most recent version (currently 1.1.5). I see 32/36 unlocks but I dunno what are the remaining 4.

[sound F/X: source diving] Well, first off, the addon has no effect on the numbers displayed in the title of the character creation dialog; those reflect things you've actually unlocked, and as the description says, this addon doesn't unlock anything, it just ignores some of the locks. More generally, any new locked races or classes will almost certainly use the same birth-descriptor locking mechanism as the current unlocked races and classes,? so they should get picked up by the addon automatically without further modification.
As for what unlocks you may be missing...
[sound F/X: further source diving] let's see, the current counted locks are 18 classes, 3 races, 5 talent trees, 2 birth options, 2 difficulty levels, 2 campaigns, 2 cosmetic effects and an Alchemist class feature. (Hmm, that only adds up to 35. Dunno what the 36th one might be; maybe something Steam-specific?)
--
? Except for donator/buyable classes like Stone Warden, which use a different mechanism that this addon couldn't influence even if I wanted it to.

Hello, would it be possible to improve this addon to also unlock the highest difficulties? I'd like to try a gimmick on Madness difficulty but it may be a while before I can beat Insane.

Meh, that's starting to get into mission creep. I can offer you
this, though.
