bonus bNoAttack
We need an item bonus which prevents players from attacking. It probably can be a Status Condition (SC) too, if you think it is easier.
The most important thing is that ManaPlus doesn't makes attack animation. Currently, the only way to do so is with a negative bonus bBaseAttack
, which breaks stuff makes you always miss.
Currently, bonus is the most obvious way, as it is related to mount (Evol) and to right-hand shields (ML).
On key note, about SC/SI, there is a pcblock for disabling attack. It works server-side but not on ManaPlus, so I'm really without options.

Workaround by equipping mounts/shields/other-sorts-of-crap on right hand slot. Server looks for a weapon, doesn't finds any, and thus, decides you are fighting barehanded (even if your hands are full). ManaPlus display the attack animation for fists. @Micksha is currently checking if it can be used on items.xml to fool ManaPlus in using "stand" for attack anim (just like attack-bow, etc.)
