Just delete the lootpet rdb from your resource folder and problem solved.

Database to RDB creates the old 7.4 petresource which can't be read correctly by the new sframe. Delete this file from the resource folder and it should work. Filename: Rwta-B2d} Fx

This only happens with the boss looters.

I corrected it in my server by editing the Arcadia table dbo.PetResource

Noticed all of the regular lootpets that worked were set to "attribute_flag" 5 and all of the new boss loot pets that were panteras were set to "attribute_flag" 21

I changed all of the boss pets "attribute_flag" field to 5 like the other looters and they now show as the boss models and the loot function works.

There is still an empty string in my loot function window text but I will work on this later.

I am happy now that the new boss looters are working.

I have this file in place still as deleting it did not fix the error but editing the database table did, so I kept the file.

if i'm correct this should only work by rewriting your petresource and it's not a fix it's a workaround. This means only that you messed up with your sframes. This will only work with the 7.4v1 SFrame and is because this sframe uses some wrong datatypes.

Almost positive I am running the 7.4 V2 sframe bacause I had the "disconnected from server" message on the server selection screen that everyone else was getting when I used the 7.4 V1.

I am definitely not the programming wizard I should be, but I know that it is working and I have the same set up as the OP.

Stars 7.4 with 8.1 features DBs

Running a 7.4 client

It may be a workaround but it is one that functions.

Edit: The only thing that does not function correctly this way is the Max Weight +2000 function, So maybe that's the difference between a looter attribute_flag 5 and attribute_flag 21.

So it is indeed a workaround and not a fix, It will correct the appearance and function of the loot pick up but it is not the weight improving loot pet it should be.

I will keep you all updated if I make any better progress on this.
