What, my other two walls of text weren't worth reading? :P

I'm using the TAKP codebase and Cavedude added some things to #showstats there. One of which is NPC attack delay. This makes testing this much easier.

The Idol of Zek is my current guinea pig NPC. Here's a pre-fix log:

No, they are :P Although the spell resist one less so since that was pretty much correct besides for partials and I haven't read the double attack one yet ...

If no one else does, I'll probably push this changes after a quick verification on live :P (like 1min parses max XD)

Okay, tested on live, verified your logs. Commited now.

Edit: In regards to the DB changes, I have no problem with them, but I'd want some input from the devs that deal more with that shit :P Also, if we could just change so the DB entry is what you suggested but it translates into what our code currently does, that could be fine as well :P

I have a big correction to make. EQ Emulator is not currently changing the bash timer when you adjust a NPC's attack rate. I made this error because Cavedude globally reduced the attack rate of every NPC to a maximum of 3 seconds per my data in the database, and I assumed the faster bash rates I was seeing from NPCs was because of that and I stupidly didn't verify this.

So, the problem is merely that NPCs are just bashing too fast. It should be 8 seconds instead of 5.
