Advisor note: Unusual messages when fighting.

[RatThing]

For your information, the Combat Manager is being worked on by the developers and in order to find, fix and verify issues, they have added a few additional messages.
 
For example:  Combat has stopped as you have attacked several times.

The different fighting-features in PlaneShift make use of the Combat Manager's functionality, therefore its not the 'Monster Server/service' or 'Player v Player' features that are being worked on directly. 

Hopefully this will calm player worries if they see a message they have not seen before when fighting.

Wasn't really worried, though I am slightly confused, mostly because I get that particular error often on my first attack.

That is why this message explained a lot about what was happening. Even when not attacking multiple times, it occurred. This pointed to a problem with the code handling events (such as hitting), which could happen out of order. So it is no longer a combat problem, but a more general one (which could cause other bugs as well). Several people are looking into this and hopefully will find a fix soon. Since this is a problem deep in the code, it takes time to fix this properly though.
