Default Re: Modding command questions

What is the number for the 4th hand slot?
This is what the modding manual says, but it doesn't say why....
Value Item Slots
1 Nothing
2 1 hand
6 2 hands
14 3 hands
256 1 head
768 2 heads
1024 1 body
2048 1 feet
4096 1 misc
12288 2 miscs
28672 3 miscs
61440 4 miscs
3334 2 hands, head, body, feet
13574 2 hands, head, body, 2 misc

The system uses binary flags to set the slots--by ORing them together, you get the full inventory (just add the values below)
1st hand slot: 2 (2^1)
2nd hand slot: 4 (2^2)
3rd hand slot: 8 (2^3)
4th hand slot: 16 (2^4)
5th hand slot: 32 (2^5)
6th hand slot: 64 (2^6)
1st head: 128 (2^7)
2nd head: 256 (2^8)
3rd head: 512 (2^9)
Body: 1024 (2^10)
Feet: 2048 (2^11)
1st Misc: 4096 (2^12)
2nd Misc: 8192 (2^13)
3rd Misc: 16384 (2^14)
4th Misc: 32768 (2^15)
5th Misc: 65536 (2^16)
6th Misc: 131072 (2^17)

As you can see by the powers of two, there is no space for a second body or foot slot, or a 3rd head. If the value is stored in a 16-bit integer (unlikely, it's probably a 32-bit value) then 4 Misc is the max. One could reasonably assume that 2^5 through 2^7 have been reserved for more hands, but I have to check that (it would allow for 7 hands). I haven't tested the 4th hand yet, but I'll do it in just a few minutes and post back--I assume it works since the nataraja has 4 hand slots.

>>>>>>>>> UPDATE <<<<<<<<<

The limit appears to be 8 total slots, with up to 6 hands or miscellaneous items AND slot 128 is a head for a maximum of 3 heads.
