I just noticed that upon killing the evil elves in santaland, their corpses show up as 'human corpse'. Shouldn't it be 'elven corpse'? If not, then just the normal 'corpse'?

Also does this mean that if I shot an arrow of slay human at an evil elf it would have greater effect?

IMO it shouldn't, so this should be a bug.

Cheers,

Some of you may remember me in-game as Stcrisis.

hm, i think this would be a map bug, but an arrow of slay human shouldn't work on them, its just a matter of changing the corpse type (in the arch file), methinks.

I don't remember exactly how corpses work, but I suspect this is an arch/code bug, not a map bug. My guess is it's due to the race attribute being use and interpreted a bit... haphazardly ATM.

<quick look>
Ah, we have a corpse_half_elf and a corpse_human arch (both of which use the same corpse_human.101 image but have distinct names). So the evil elves must be using the corpse_human arch.

Hm, I can see a way to get round this and have corpses always more closely match the mob they're of (in image and name) without increasing the number of arches (in fact, reducing them)...
