Speedy mod (to accelerate moves effects animation units)

[welk]

Here is a little mod that allow "speed game" : now, you have no more to wait a long time during the move of each unit during battle (if units are numerous, this time may be long...)

With this tool, your units and units of IA move very fast : game is more fast (very usefull in game vs IA)

Note : this mod dos not change anything in the game, except speed of move animation

Nice, maybe this need be added in game options, good job.

Note that this will break MP games I would imagine. A safer alternative might be to alter the UnitSpeedHack value in OPTIONS.TXT. Valid values are [0,10] with zero being off.

I explored OPTIONS.BSF and options.txt in Core/UI but founded no any mention of a UnitSpeedHack value
Founded (with a search tool named Lookdisk) one UnitSpeedHack value in a file named STUB_TILE_SHADER (but I fail to open this file)

Any informations about ?


EDIT : I founded these lines in option.txt file, concerning gamespeed. Could you explain, please, if they are the content we have to modify ?

The file you need to alter is

/Documents/My Games/FieldOfGlory2/Options.txt

nothing to do with the one you found, which is the UI definition file for the Settings screen.

Note that you should close the game before altering Options.txt, otherwise the game will overwrite your modded version with the previous version when it closes.

Also name your backup BackupOptions.txt rather than OptionsBackup.txt, otherwise the game may possibly still read it.
