Bard- Stringed instrument

[Scribble]

I am making a bard that is playing a stringed instrument. I have him strumming the air but I can not get the lute visible in his hands. I am using equipment type 3876 wield-able stringed instrument with action state 10989. Any help would be appreciated!


ps.
I've tried putting the lute in all slots i could think of. Hand, forearm, Primary / secondary weapon slots. Nothing makes it visible .
pss
I also notice that is is displaying (linkdead) when his action state starts.

It is going to have nothing to do with this project. This is going to be on our end. The same way we have to choice icons for all our items, we are going to have to choose appearances for items.

the item is visible but shows up on the ground when in hands slot.

The best way to fix something like that is to compare the fields to one in the official project that is working.

does anyone know of a working bard playing lute on eq2emulator?
