Lucky Star cannot be researched, because it depends on the research STR_SOUL_GEM, which doesn't exist, instead of STR_MAGICAL_GIRL_CORPSE, that gives Soul Gem Bootypedia entry.
A typo. Fixed. Thanks.
A BattleUnit simply is a mandatory attribute of any BattleItem of BT_CORPSE type. That's how the game was designed. It's not a flaw nor a limitation. There are plenty other categories you can use to spawn the loot... why not just spawning celatid essence is this particular case?
Because it cannot be researched like a corpse would? But yeah, if it's designed in such a way that trying to overcome such limitation would leads to insanity, let's drop it. All I was saying is that, to me, it seems as unnatural as 'no melee weapons allowed on Fridays', for example, would.
Wrong sex, or there are men masqueraded as women?
1) STR_HUMAN_FEMALE_4: "Tough Girl" - displays STR_HAS_PANICKED_MALE
2) members of Escaped Lunatics - starting Hands - displays STR_HAS_BECOME_UNCONSCIOUS_MALE and STR_HAS_BEEN_KILLED_MALE
3) recruited Hand - she is female - displays correct STR_HAS_BECOME_UNCONSCIOUS_FEMALE and STR_HAS_BEEN_KILLED_FEMALE
Soldiers are hardcoded to have 2 genders (although can be made all male if one wishes); gender defines things like sprite, sounds, names etc.. So, short-haired pirates use the 'male' definition, while the long-haired ones use the 'female' definition.
All enemies are male by default, this can be played with and tuned, but it'd require a lot of boring code, and for what reason?
