Repeatedly hit by Mobs

[mwmdragon]

This is a wierd one. My server was working great... Then today I boot it up and I log in... Attack a mob and it hits me over and over non stop until I'm dead. No pauses between the hits just long enough for the creature to draw its arm back, I'm dead in seconds. I figure it was a little bug so I reboot all the machines and log in again.. this time attacking a "Green". But to my surprise, again it is swinging at me repeatedly with no delay.

Any idea what has happened and how I can fix this. I can't even play because I die right away fighting anything higher than green. They get like 8 attacks to my 1.

Please Help.

Well, another problem solved. When using Item Editor 3.0 and you save a blank item by accident, your server will cause this weird effect to happen.

I had an item that was blank and set as ItemID 0.

While that item was in the database all the mobs would hit you non stop as if they were hasted by 800% making playability zero.

I deleted the item and restarted the server and the problem went away.

Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.

you can also change that items delay to adjust all the mobs attack speed on the server, interesting to play with.

Just a word of caution - I'm quite certain Item ID 0 affecting mob speed isn't a feature, it's a bug. While it might be fun to play with an item 0 to affect mob speed, unless it was officially intended to be that way, keep in mind it could go away at some point in the future if changes and fixes are made to the code that's causing mob attack speed to be affected in the first place.
