Summary: Client-server inventory communication

Initial Comment:
After the log-on sequence is completed, the server 
should send a list of object names or ID numbers inside 
the character inventory to the client.

The client store this information locally so that players 
can inspect their inventory at anytime without further 
burdening the server bandwith.

The client GUI then cross-reference the object ID or 
name to the item table it has to find the correct icon for 
the object to be shown inside the inventory itself.

All action regarding inter-object interaction should still 
be passed to the server in form of actions.

In short:
- Client have a table of object name, ID, and icon 
representation.
- Server sends list of objects inside the character 
inventory after they're logged on to the server.
- Client store this information and cross-reference it to 
the table it has for GUI representation.

Client object list is dynamic, it can change based on the 
response of the server to each actions regarding these 
objects sent by the client.

In effect, this should cut down some of the network 
communication needed between the server and client 
regarding objects inside players inventory.
