The terms I use now are a little different from before. When I say "Equipment type" I mean a new bit in the "Equipment types" list. I believe what you are referring to is what I now call "Equipment index", and yes, I changed the definition of the "Exotic weapon" index.

More details in the wiki.

I'm curious, what bits you used to make it?

BTW your Equipment types names are not accurate. What you call 'Glove' & 'Ring' are 'Heavy Accessory' & 'Light Accessory'.

That's a matter of preference. All of the former items are gloves; all of the latter items are rings. It just makes more sense to me to use these short and simple names.

I know the explanation I was curious what you have used in your patch :)

True, but if you strive for consistency you will see that the game designer have defined 3 gear subclasses:
Code: [Select]
Strength based - Heavy Armor + Heavy Helmet + ___ (gloves???)
Agility based  - Light Armor + Light Helmet + ___ (ring???)
Magic based    - Mage Robe   + Mage Hat     + ___ (ring???)

    Equipment index 17 changed from 0x02000004 to 0x00800000
    Thief and Ninja now able to use equipment type 0x00800000
Is this what you mean?

Yes. So you have defined the unused bit for weapons, I thought you will add them under Flail (where probably is original intended type) :)

I didn't use Flail because Mages can equip those. That being said, there are technically no flails in the game. Using a new bit was just the simplest thing to do in terms of changes.
