Saurmorian Discrepancy

[Paradox01]

Over in the Bug Report forum, @EP1CH34DSH0T brought up what he thought was a bug but is more likely a discrepancy between the Orefish Shard (hereafter referred to as "OFS") and Metal Lizard suit (MLS). This brings up some questions.

1) Why does the OFS give Saurmorian eyes while the MLS does not? Is this an undersight? *snicker*

2) Why does the OFS only give 2-3 horns while the MLS gives 4?

3) What's the typical number of horns for a Saurmorian?

4) Are an even number of body features (horns in this case) easier to code than an odd number?

1) Probably.
2) The MLS is a special once and done deal made to create very specific specks choosen by Holliday, so it probably that.
3) Probably 2, with 3 from shard overuse. The 4 from the MLS, see point 2
4) I mean, each body part needs to have descriptors written individually and not everything is compatible, anyways (TiTsEd users know, a flag can be useless if the limb does not suport it. At least for descriptions...). I guess as long as it is just a number being displayed, it is no extra to go from two to three horns, since plural still is the same. Maybe a extra blurp checking for the three horns so the description is not odd.

That's what I was getting at. The descriptor stating you have X horns is one thing. Stating that you have two 10" horns growing from your temples and curving towards the back of your head while a 5" straight horn grows from the ridge of your nose/tip of your nose/forehead is quite different.

Sounds like a simple 'if; 3 & type; Saurmorian- then; talk about nose horn'.
