===== Java Classes =====
  * [[https://github.com/NYRDS/remixed-dungeon/blob/master/RemixedDungeon/src/main/java/com/watabou/pixeldungeon/items/armor/ScoutArmor.java|ScoutArmor.java]] - Main armor class implementation
  * [[https://github.com/NYRDS/remixed-dungeon/blob/master/RemixedDungeon/src/main/java/com/watabou/pixeldungeon/items/armor/ElfArmor.java|ElfArmor.java]] - Parent armor class
  * [[https://github.com/NYRDS/remixed-dungeon/blob/master/RemixedDungeon/src/main/java/com/watabou/pixeldungeon/actors/hero/HeroSubClass.java|HeroSubClass.java]] - Subclass definition (SCOUT enum references "ScoutArmor")

**Key Implementation Details**:
<code java>
public class ScoutArmor extends ElfArmor {
    public ScoutArmor() {
        name = StringsManager.getVar(R.string.ElfArmor_Name);
        image = 18;
        hasHelmet = false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean doEquip(@NotNull Char hero) {
        if (hero.getSubClass() == HeroSubClass.SCOUT) {
            return super.doEquip(hero);
        } else {
            GLog.w(StringsManager.getVar(R.string.ElfArmor_NotElf));
            return false;
        }
    }
}
</code>

===== JSON Configuration =====
This armor is not defined in JSON configuration. It is a hardcoded Java item class that is automatically registered through the ItemFactory system.

**Registration in ItemFactory**:
<code java>
// From ItemFactory.java
import com.watabou.pixeldungeon.items.armor.ScoutArmor;
registerItemClass(ScoutArmor.class);
</code>

===== String Resources =====
ScoutArmor uses the parent class (ElfArmor) string resources:

**English** (`values/strings_all.xml`):
<code xml>
<string name="ElfArmor_Name">Elven mantle</string>
<string name="ElfArmor_NotElf">Only elves can use this armor!</string>
</code>

**Russian** (`values-ru/strings_all.xml`):
<code xml>
<string name="ElfArmor_Name">эльфийская мантия</string>
<string name="ElfArmor_NotElf">Только эльфы могут использовать эту броню!</string>
</code>

**Note**: The ScoutArmor item shares string resources with ElfArmor. The in-game name is "Elven mantle" in English and "эльфийская мантия" in Russian, not "Scout Armor" as the class name might suggest.
