Valpurium Palm Branches

Valpurium Palm Branches
HolyBanana, I've been wanting to wield valpurium palm branches with my character for a long time. The required strength for wielding such a branch one-handed is 116. Anyways, for the sake of immediate gratification I coded the femaleslave to start out with 2 valpurium branches already equipped which I would then kill them for:


femaleslave
{
  DefaultArmStrength = 10;
  DefaultLegStrength = 10;
  DefaultDexterity = 10;
  DefaultAgility = 10;
  DefaultEndurance = 10;
  DefaultPerception = 18;
  DefaultIntelligence = 15;
  DefaultWisdom = 25;
  DefaultCharisma = 25;
  DefaultMana = 5;
  Sex = FEMALE;
  SkinColor = rgb16(160, 100, 64);
  HairColor = rgb16(80, 48, 32);
  HeadBitmapPos = 112, 80;
  TorsoBitmapPos = 32, 208;
  ArmBitmapPos = 64, 208;
  LegBitmapPos = 0, 144;
  TotalVolume = 40000;
  TotalSize = 170;
  Adjective = "female";
  RightWielded = VALPURIUM palmbranch;
  LeftWielded = VALPURIUM palmbranch;
  BaseUnarmedStrength = 200;
  HostileReplies == "\"Yikes!\"";
  IsAbstract = true;
  IsExtraCoward = true;
  CanRead = true;

First I adjusted the playerkind's STR to 116, but after he acquired 2 palm branches, he refused to used them as uncategorized weapons and only ended kicking monsters. I upped the STR to 200, but things remained the same.


playerkind
{
  DefaultArmStrength = 200;
  DefaultLegStrength = 10;
  DefaultDexterity = 10;
  DefaultAgility = 10;
  DefaultEndurance = 10;
  DefaultPerception = 10;
  DefaultIntelligence = 10;
  DefaultWisdom = 10;
  DefaultCharisma = 10;
  DefaultMana = 10;
  DefaultMoney = 45;
  TorsoBitmapPos = 32, 416;
  LegBitmapPos = 0, 416;
  TotalVolume = 80000;
  TotalSize = 175;
  CanRead = true;
  NameSingular = "human";
  AttachedGod = SEGES;
  DisplacePriority = 2;
  Inventory == amulet(AMULET_OF_LIFE_SAVING) { Times = BONUS_LIVES; }
  BodyArmor = VALPURIUM bodyarmor(PLATE_MAIL) { Enchantment = 50; }
  Cloak = VALPURIUM cloak(CLOAK_OF_ELECTRICITY_RESISTANCE) { Enchantment = 50; }
  Belt = VALPURIUM belt { Enchantment = 50; }  
  RightWielded = justifier;
  LeftWielded = justifier;
  RightGauntlet = VALPURIUM gauntlet(GAUNTLET_OF_STRENGTH) { Enchantment = 50; }
  RightRing = ring(RING_OF_FIRE_RESISTANCE);
  LeftRing = ring(RING_OF_POISON_RESISTANCE);
  RightBoot = PHOENIX_FEATHER boot(BOOT_OF_AGILITY) { Enchantment = 50; } 
  
}

Since the valpurium palm branches weigh so much, do they exceed a weight limitation coded into the game which prevents overly cumbersome items from being wielded as weapons? EDIT: I tried to add a damage flag to the palm branch, but my player still couldn't use it as weapon.

palmbranch
{
  DefaultSize = 80;
  Possibility = 0;
  Category = MISC;
  DefaultMainVolume = 4000;
  StrengthModifier = 50;
  BitmapPos = 0, 240;
  FormModifier = 15;
  NameSingular = "palm branch";
  NamePlural = "palm branches";
  MainMaterialConfig == PALM_LEAF;
  Roundness = 80;
  IsTwoHanded = true;
  AttachedGod = SILVA;
  WieldedBitmapPos = 160, 208;
  IsValuable = false;
  DamageFlags = BLUNT;
}

mistifilio, Planplan, and Z, Any idea why valpurium palm branches can't be wielded as weapons?

miscitem.h

ITEM(palmbranch, item)
{
 public:
  virtual truth IsShield(const character*) const { return true; }
};

The plambranch are considered a shield ^^

Aw, dude. My bad. Well, I guess that screws my efforts to try to use them as a weapon. Hell, how about we add shield-bashing to the game? Thanks for your efforts, Planplan.
