Changing Strat Map Unit Speeds?

**Suraknar** · 03-05-2007, 14:48

Hello,

I find that units on the strategy map are simply too slow under normal pace and too fast under fast pace (pressing spacebar).

Is there anywhere where one could modify the speed, would need to make it a bit faster but not that fast..at this time they all are in "slow-mo"...there is time to make a Tea while two units are trying to engage one another on the strat map...which is annoying after few turns specially later on when there is much movement.

Thanks

We dont know if there is a way to change this? Is it hardcoded?

Even that info is a nice answer...

I'm pretty positive the march speed on the campaign map is hardcoded. Sorry.

Alrighty, thank you very much adembroski :)

That settles it then, hope CA adjusts this somewhat in any subsequent patch.

I think there's some cheat for that, but I'm not sure if it works.

Edit: It's called ai_turn_speed and takes a multiplier as a variable. Supposedly sets the maximum ai turn speed, so try playing around a bit with stuff like ai_turn_speed 10 and so on. The maximum is 255.

Thank you Alpaca, I play around with it :)

Oki wait a minute you mean its a cheat code? or you meant it is a way to cheat around this issue? (I did a search for the string and was not found in any files)

I dont use cheats :P only moding... hehe

And...if it affects AI it wont affect the speed of movement of my own Faction in the strat map ... right?

The speed in the strat map i think need tweaking across the board AI and player alike...

In any case, you made the effort to share it, so might as well make the effort to see what it does, is there a link of cheat codes for this game anywhere?

Ya, I kinda misread your question.
To change the speed for the player, too, you'd have to edit the campaign animations, and I'm not sure if that works properly (I recall having some problems with it in RTW).

ai_turn_speed is a console cheat code, you can use it in your campaign script by using console_command blah.
If I search a cheat I usually fire up a hex editor and look at the exe (search for add_money to find the console string list).
