noob with oddball error

This is a macro to find ground spawns and pick them up: http://macroquest2.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=69.

I modified it slightly and started using it to locate items. The next time I zoned, however, I got this message, "Warning: Character has invalid items in one or more inventory slots. Forcing an inventory reset. You will not lose experience for this death." Any chance somehow using a macro to find items and pick them up marks them as invalid? If so, how do I fix it? Has anyone else encountered this? Thanks for any insights.

Post what you picked up and post the macro.

You might have just figured out a dupe, son. :)

Or PM it to me, we'll have a look-see.

Nope, old bug, if you line up the inventory slot with an item on the ground, when you click to pick up the ground item, you get the item in that slot on your cursor and the ground item goes into the now empty slot. They know about the bug and made a rather draconian change, when you enter game or zone, if it finds an item so equipped, you are insta-killed (duel type death, no exp loss), forcibly removing all your equipment so you have to re-equip it in the right slot. So if you REALLY wanted, you could equip uber items (as long as they were droppable) in every slot. Just remember to fix it all before you zone or log out an pray you don't go linkdead. I imagine all such events are logged as well.

It's a hack, trying to fix a bug with /click, sorta ironic isn't it?
