There are two independent reports on forum about alien armours no more collected from battlescape and I think I could reproduce the issue once too.

If I'm right it doesn't happen every time but sometimes. I could even imagine that the problem is "only" that wrong (armoured) models are used sometimes for non-armoured aliens.

This is a serious issue and should be investigated before 2.4 comes out.

this is handled in AII_CollectingItems

the armours are no items that were dropped to the ground, because the dead actors still wear the armour - so we have to get the armour from the dead actor's inventory

the cargo is moved to the base in B_SellOrAddItems (and there the tech for the item should be marked as collected)

Thanks for the info, I've found a bug as stunned alien's armour was not recovered (possibly also stunned soldiers items collected twice). However I think it was not the main problem.

just for the records:

I have reverted your commit about the LE_IsStunned call - LE_IsDead includes stunned state already

the model that an alien is using depends on the inventory - see CHRSH_CharGetBody and AI_InitPlayer. i don't think this is wrong.

should be fixed in 5621d498a8b29457a94a3caa80ff902350f74837
