[MapItemIcon] HeadGear, Armor and Shield Icons not showing on Ground

[Soulfly25]

Hello everyone,

I’m having an issue and I’m hoping someone can guide me or provide advice on how to fix it.

Here’s the problem:
Items such as HeadGear, Armor, and Shield — basically any item that involves ItemColor — do not show their icon on the ground when dropped.

Has anyone encountered this before or know where I should look to resolve it? Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.


I'm running a client version 6609.

client side file check

file: ani/mapitemicon.ani
directory: data/ItemMapIcon

Good luck!

I already know this, its just like something weird happen to the ID when it comes to client,

When I checked in the debug folder I noticed that it added "40"before the itemID. My ItemID = 130005 so It happens that maybe its not showing because it shows a wrong itemid that doesn't match to the MapItemMiniIcon.

Here's the result for the debug:

Ani Index [40130005] Not Found In [ani/MapItemIcon.Ani] -- Mon Nov 17 18:15:27 2025
AniIndexInfo [40130005] Not Found in [ani/MapItemIcon.Ani] -- Mon Nov 17 18:15:27 2025

You have identified the problem, either match the data with the file, or match the file with the data. You can quickly solve the problem by making some attempts.

You need to send the item color in the Ground Packet.

Here the packet for 5017:

        public enum GroundItemAction : ushort
        {
            Trap = 0,
            Create = 1,
            Delete = 2,
            Pick = 3,
            CastTrap = 10,
            SynchroTrap = 11,
            DropTrap = 12
        }

        public static Packet CreateMapItem(this Packet stream, uint UID, uint ID, ushort X, ushort Y, GroundItemAction Action, ushort Color)
        {
            stream.InitWriter();
            stream.Write(UID);
            stream.Write(ID);
            stream.Write(X);
            stream.Write(Y);
            stream.Write((ushort)Action);
            stream.Write((ushort)Color);
            stream.Finalize((ushort)NetPacketTypes._MSG_MAPITEM);
            return stream;
        }
        public static void GetMapItem(this Packet stream, out uint UID, out uint ID, out ushort X, out ushort Y, out GroundItemAction Action)
        {
            UID = stream.ReadUInt32();
            ID = stream.ReadUInt32();
            X = stream.ReadUInt16();
            Y = stream.ReadUInt16();
            Action = (GroundItemAction)stream.ReadUInt16();
        }

        }

Yes, I already have this ItemColor in the GroundPacket and it's working fine, but these icons were not showing in the ground. Also, the ItemMiniIcon is working fine.

Something tells me your packet structure is wrong. Primarily at the item color offset, whatever it may be for this patch.

[Soulfly25]

Requesting to close this thread.

Everybody are correct, it was in the ground packet which was the ItemColor was set to a fixed value of 40 which is why it reads incorrect in the MapItemIcon, so the fix is to call out the ItemColor real value.

Thank you for your answers guys!
