Problem with Itemslots.

[Luckmann]

This is probably really easy, because I've managed to do it before, way back. I just don't remember how.

I'm trying to create a pretender with a head, a couple of feet, two arms, a head and 4 misc slots.

Following the modding.pdf, that's

6 - 2 hands
128 - 1 head
1024 - 1 body
2048 - 1 feet
61440 - 4 miscs
= 64646.

However, with 64646, I only get 3 misc slots.

What gives?

I believe there are a maximum of 8 slots, of any variety. AFAIK, this is not a documented limitation, but I seem to remember finding it before when fooling around with an Ettin hero.

Really? Because I'm very certain I created pretenders with that exact setup, long ago. :|

Luckmann, he's correct. If there are more than 8 slots, the game cuts down to 8 by removing misc slots.

The following monsters from my personal stat-testing mod all suffer from the same problem, missing misc slots:

Baaaww. Thanks for clarifying, anyway. Guess I'm having a senior moment.
