Default Re: Dai Onis ghost form should have all item slots

I'll see about the Oni Spirit numbers and post them in the bug thread as a potential issue. The burden of time issue looks so lonely all by itself in that post...

EDIT: Oni Spirit numbers are

1261 Oni Spirit (1260 Ko-Oni)
1263 Oni Spirit (1262 Oni)
1265 Oni Spirit (1264 Ao-Oni)
1267 Oni Spirit (1266 Aka-Oni)
1269 Oni Spirit (1268 Kuro-Oni)
1273 Oni Spirit (1272 Oni)
1275 Oni Spirit (1274 Kuro-Oni)
1277 Oni Spirit (1276 Oni General)
1317 Oni Spirit (1316 Dai Oni)

This is completely unrelated, but I just made another unit for my upcoming mod and he's somewhat Dai Oni-ish.

Attached is a preview pic of the Twisted Daimyo commander for Jomon, Broken Swords. He's half human, half oni.

Im just guessing that the units were created seperately and Kristoffer might not have considered that the change-form would cause it to drop items. He might not think it appropriate to change it (it was brought up long long ago with the dragon pretenders). But we can ask.

way i see it dragons turn into non-humanoid creatures. if something shaped vaguely like a human ghost can carry a barkskin pendant, and thus have woodlike ghost skin, then they should be able to carry a sword, and animate their armor just like black servants, spectres, and ghosts can.

anyay, I edited the onifix mod to include all forms of oni spirits.

Default Shapechangers and lost items

It might be appropriate for an item to be 'lost' in some cases from a shapechange, but -- does anybody know if the items are vaporized, or whether they have the usual "battle loot" chance of being recovered by the winner?

Not vaporized.

For some reason, in a single player game I had an Arena winner that shapechanged into a hand-less form every combat. Perhaps a dragon pretender. It dropped the trident every combat, then found it again after winning the battle (and automatically changing back to human).

they do become battle loot. usually your ghost dai oni ends up running or dieing though. and if he does manage to win, he still only has a chance of finding that battle loot.
