How to modife the game speed?

[Xhell]

Hi Commanders

I really want to know how is posible to change the speed at wich the ships sails on the world map.

I know that it's posible to decrease the speed to "0.75" and to "0.5" from normal, but when I enter the logs (F2), and when i return to the world map, then the speed got again to "1", wich is sometimes to much as to avoid encounters or torments.

I want to modify the file that set's the standard speed, to set the normal speed to 0.5.

Can some1 tell me wich file is the one I need to hack?

Thanks in advance ^^

Have you tried the + and - key on the numpad?That speeds and slows your sailing speed on both the world map and in sailing mode.

He is saying that he wants the standard speed on the map to be .5. He knows how to change it in-game, but wants to modify it so it is automatically set to .5 whenever he goes to the map.

You can speed up/slowyour ship on world map by either ,

<u>changing the speed of day/night cicle</u>

Open game dir. programsfile/playlogic/ageofpirates2/program/worldmap and open the worldmap_init.c file with Notepad then look at line number 15 or 16 ,

worldMap.date.hourPerSec = 1,5; now change the 1.5 to lower numbers like 0.8 so this will make the 1 game day ' longer ' which means u will take less game time to travel between 2 points and that for example will save u food , give u more time to finish more than1 mission before dead end time .. etc or ,

<u>Making her faster/slower</u>

In same worldmap_init.c file scroll down after

Lables
Islands
Town
Shores

Look for ,

//=========================================================================
//آيًٍَهيےے èيôîًىàِèے - !!!خٌٍîًîويî, يè êàêèُ ïًîâهًîê!!!
//=========================================================================
//دًàًàىهًٍû âëèےيèے âهًٍà يà ٌêîًîٌٍü êîًîلëے (îٍيîٌèٍهëüيàے ٌêîًîٌٍü)
worldMap.shipSpeedOppositeWind = 0.3;
worldMap.shipSpeedOverWind = 0.8;

Here u can change the 0.3 to higher numbers which will make your ship sail faster when it is sailing ' into ' the wind on world map while the 0.8 is the speed of your ship while sailing with wind in her back so changing this will also help u faster sail on world map , remember u need to start new game for this to work .

AWESOME tweak! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> I really hated how time just races madly on the worldmap. It'd take days to sail from one end of an island to the other on the map, while in sailing mode I could make the trip in like a few hours. That really needed fixing. Thank you. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Yeah I know what u mean , I had same problem special when taking more than 1 mission and fail to do them before dead end time but now after I changed the game day cycle I always manage to finish mission on time <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> .

There are many files u can tweak to change the game to your liking like you can make the canon better , change stat of goods , ships .. etc .

1 of the changes I made and found useful is for food and ammo , the ammo is set at 20 unites per perchase which is equal to 1 weight ( 1 loading space ) but I changed that to 90 unites so whenever I buy 1 wieght of ammo then I get 90 ammo unites , I did that for food , medicin and weapons so now I can take more and they will take less loading space in my ships <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> .

Remember guys, though editable a lot of settings were tuned for game balance.

I've not yet modified a single thing in my game except the Tenochitlan fix. I've never missed a quest date and I've never run out of food.

I really appreciate the comments and help, but still I want to find the way as how to slow down the game speed.

In fact i like the way the game run and I don't want to slow down the time to be able to do more tasks.

While now I'm sticking to the keys + & -, but it's annoying when the game "forget" the speed I have setted and insistently return it to the fast "1".

Thanks anyway, I think the comments are really valuables ^^
