Client-Server Item Desyncronization Bugs

[Uleat]

They are seperate, but they're not... I had to include both for reference.

The first one handles the 'visible' cursor slot 30. The second handles slot 8000, which supposedly is also the visible cursor slot.
(There are several references in the code that indicate this..mostly in remark statements.)


Here's a little test, with validation checks, to induce a bugged corpse:

- Ensure no items are on your cursor

- #summonitem 13201 (Blackbox A Series)
- #summonitem 13202 (Blackbox B Series)
- #summonitem 13203 (Blackbox C Series)
- #summonitem 13204 (Blackbox D Series)

- Open your database tool software and look at this character's inventory..it should read:
-- Slot 30 - 13201
-- Slot 8001 - 13202
-- Slot 8002 - 13203
-- Slot 8003 - 13204

- Now, #kill yourself..it should crash your client.

- Refresh you database table and reinspect the values:
-- Slot 30 - 13202
-- Slot 8001 - 13203
-- Slot 8002 - 13204

- At this point, we can assume that item 13201 made it to the corpse, or that it was deleted for some reason.

- Now, revive and you should have cursor items. (Best to do all of this next to your bind point...)
-- Three items total, Blackboxes B, C & D.

- Loot your corpse..in addition to your equipment, you will find Blackbox A at the end.

- You didn't actually lose anything this time, but now your corpse is bugged.


Something is crashing the client..probably while trying to process slot 8000.

I will have to work up an in-depth test to figure out what's going on exactly..or learn how to actually use the
debug feature...

I suspect the blob data of the corpse will contain either a bugged item 13201 or slot 8000 of some type.

IF tradeskilling is using slot 8000 for combines or returns, I suspect this same issue is at the root of that problem too.
(Not death, but the use of slot 8000...)


Since the problem could reach back into the kernel, I don't wan't to simply 'fix' it here. Some more research
is needed..but it is on the list for sure now...
