Anyway to speed up unit movement?

[crm114]

I'm very much in love with the game right now; it's a worthy successor to XCOM.

Is there any way to speed up the movement of units in the tactical battlefield? Everything feels sluggish right now. Maybe an .ini tweak or something?

Default.cfg

soldiers
{
walkSpeed 0.0014 // old value: 0.0016
runSpeed 0.0033
walkFrInterval 90 // old value: 100
runFrInterval 100
rotateInterval 100
}
Removing a single zero after decimal point in walkSpeed and runSpeed values will significally speed up units animation in battles.

Thanks for this, Xenotron. I might just wait for this to be included in Sage's mode bundle.

I'm dis-inclined to include it. This is because there is currently a feature where, if you press space, your unit's movement stops. This allows you to correct 'ooops' movements. If unit speed is much faster, the stop feature becomes less worthwhile.

We could include it as an option; that file hasn't been touched yet, so it'd be fairly simple to use a batch file to switch back and forth.

I think that would be fine.

  How about civilians, They are so slow in Terror missions and you kinda wish they get killed off so the game will speed up. Another thing about them (which may actually need a patch) is the movement logic, shouldn't they be running away from the aliens instead of moving right up to them and blocking your shot?

Check out Bmans mod. You can set speed ingame.
