Is it possible to get the effective ARMORLEVEL of an armour item with METAL_ARMOR_LEVELS to be 1 (leather) when not metal, and 3 (plate) when metal? Instead of 1/2, leather and chain.
If not, does it matter? Does armour level even do anything besides determine whether to wear like civilian clothing?
Is effective armour level stored anywhere? I could hack it if so.

I can see there probably is no solution, so why is the game like this?

[Tachytaenius]

I suppose I could split items into different variants with set ARMORLEVELs if it turns out ARMORLEVEL has any importance.

Does armour level even do anything besides determine whether to wear like civilian clothing?

It's mainly useful for separating what melee and range units will spawn/generate with item pop-wise. Melee will use any, but range units are limited: they will never show with hand/foot/pants armor higher than ARMORLEVEL:1.

This is your solution.

Remove the METAL_ARMOR_LEVELS token and replace it with ARMORLEVEL:1, which is what I have:

[CHAIN_METAL_TEXT]
[ARMORLEVEL:1] ^pcrtn: 1 means game will let archers use mail
METAL_ARMOR_LEVELS ^pcrtn: no longer needed as leather isn't being used
[LBSTEP:MAX]
[SHAPED]
[LAYER:OVER] ^pcrtn: was armor
