Auto_Swap_Neutral doesn't work when wielding two shields

If you have Auto_Swap_Neutral set to true and attempt to move into the square of a non-hostile monster while wielding two shields it gives a "You should wield a weapon!" message instead of swapping with them.

The issue is not in the weird behavior you experiencing... The issue that you're wielding two shield to make sure you won't harm anyone...

At least this always was my impression. I think that the proper fix would be a mode or a tactic in which PC won't be attacking anyone

IMO the correct behavior in this case is to perform a swap, regardless of whether some special 'no attack' mode is implemented.

This could be because swapping neutrals can (could?) aggro them? Is that still the case?

That is still the case. I'm not sure what bearing that has on this issue, though. The chance to aggro an NPC with swapping isn't any greater if you are wielding two shields, and this is a risk you already accept by having "Auto_Swap_Neutral" set to true.
