Invisible Item on Floor Bug

[troglodite]

Hello peopleee!

Im having this bug when…

A friendly player throws an item: I cant see the item, and when I try to gather it, a new "empty" item I get, like a bugged item.

Anyone know why this is happening?

Well. That sucks.

If you've edited any of the following, it may have caused it.

* Server and client packet enumerations (especially any changes above CMapDropItem or SSpawnItem; should be identical between server & client)
* ModTypes MapItemRec on either side
* TCP Protocols (send from client, server handles)
* Client - SendDropItem
* Client - HandleSpawnItem
* Server - HandleMapDropItem
* Server - PlayerMapDropItem
* Server- SpawnItemSlot
* Server- SendSpawnItemToMap

The data path is basically (C)Senddropitem -> (S)handlemapdropitem -> (S)playermapdropitem -> (S)SpawnItemSlot ->(S)SendSpawnItemToMap ->(C)HandleSpawnItem

If NPC drops work normally, the issue is within the first 3 in that path.

Everything seems to be ok (the C and S list)

Maybe… this:

I "erase" this lines with ' because I dont want to drop any item on death

In Sub OnDeath(ByVal Index As Long)

```

' Drop all worn items

For i = 1 To Equipment.Equipment_Count - 1

If GetPlayerEquipment(Index, i) > 0 Then

PlayerMapDropItem Index, GetPlayerEquipment(Index, i), 0

End If

Next

```

If you mean you commented the lines out by adding ' before each line - that would make no difference.

Server Side

```
Private Type MapItemRec

Num As Long

Value As Long

x As Byte

y As Byte

' ownership + despawn

playerName As String

playerTimer As Long

canDespawn As Boolean

despawnTimer As Long

End Type
```

Client Side

```
Private Type MapItemRec

playerName As String

num As Long

Value As Long

Frame As Byte

x As Byte

y As Byte

End Type
```

Are right??
