Currently, when someone dies, the items are dropped to the floor in G_InventoryToFloor() on the server side. The client and the server behave differently, and that causes a problem. The server adds each item separately (at a different x,y), whereas the client summarizes items, and puts them in the same location. Cause: if an actor dies and drops, e.g. two clips, and an actor tries to pick up both (by drag-n-drop) the server crashes because it cannot find the second at that location.
Fix: use Com_AddToInventory() in G_InventoryToFloor() to add items to the floor, instead of linking them manually. That takes care of the summarization, and also keeps a more uniform interface of changing the floor.
