I don't think it is a good idea forcing avatars... and it's not so easy forcing the avatar... because different pages are interested for avatars selection. 
Forcing flags should be easier, but then you may have users choosing random flag for speeding up registration...
You can work on this part of the registration function:
- elseif ( $mode == 'register' )
- {
- if ( empty($username) || empty($new_password) || empty($password_confirm) || empty($email) )
- {
- $error = true;
- $error_msg .= ( ( isset($error_msg) ) ? '<br />' : '' ) . $lang['Fields_empty'];
- }
- }
No time to help you further right now... but you can start working on your own adding FLAG validation there.

Re: Avatar & Country Flag On Registration Page
i think that registration form must be most complete, like normal phpbb
or like phpbb plus or orion
examples

I would prefer to keep registration page as light as possible. Once registered, all users may enter and edit their profile.

Yes, but usually only phpbb user expert. With my experience I note that a lot of users doesn't edit their profile after registration, and leaves the information entered in registration phase, so, for this I decided to extend the registration page with some other information that I consider important in my forum.

if the user wants, they can modify their profile any time, i agree with MG, i prefer light and common registration fields for registering.

Yes Andrea, no problem... we will try to help you anyway, I was just explaining why in phpBB XS there are so few required fields when registering.
Did you try to check the code I've posted? Did you make some tests?

Re: Avatar & Country Flag On Registration Page
well
on my experience i am agree with andrea
in one of my forums
my users dont know how access control panel.... most of them are over 50 years old
and others forums, users are young but they only acces to control panel to read or write PM not for include information
the solution must be that admin can decide if they want a light registration form or not,
i think that a light registration form is an error
but is only my opinion
i am coding a new registration form and user control panel because this problems on my sites when i have some i'll publish it

Yes, I'm working on it, but I have not so much free time these days... anyway I think that the solution of casimedicos is good: 2 kind of registration from with a setting on ACP for choose what to use. The better solution should be a setting on ACP when it could be possible to choose the information fields to include in registration page, but I think that it's a too difficult thing to realize.

It is not difficult... it's just a matter of time.
Since I have few free time I prefer being concentrated on things I consider more important than having a customizable registration form which is not strictly needed for phpBB XS to work.
When I have some free time I may try to integrate this... in the meantime you can try to integrate it on your own.
