Hey guys, I've made a mod that slows down the run speed in Pillars of Eternity to 6 metres / second down from 8 metres / second

[Note this also contains the 16 Inventory slots mod]

Instructions

• Backup your X:\Steam\steamapps\common\Pillars of Eternity - Public Beta\PillarsOfEternity_Data\Managed\Assembly-CSharp.dll
• Copy the modified Assembly-CSharp.dll into the same folder
• Run the game
• DO NOT submit bug reports with this installed, revert to default when testing

Notes:

1. Will not be compatible with the next patch (will have to make a new one every time)
2. This is a pretty bad way to mod, but we have no WeiDu equivalent atm

Locked at OP request. Mod is not working.

Looks very good.

 

Does it affect beetles and other mobs?

Umm, I think it does. It's the global value. Beetles teleport when you pause the game (even Wood Beetles) so feel free to try it out and report back (y).

That movement speed seems about right. If every one moved 25% slower I think the game would be much better.

It was the first value I set it to, I think it looks miles better than the current speed too.

It doesn't just look better; if the enemies also move 25% slower it will really help fix combat.

They should be 25% slower, yes. Try it out and report back

Looks much more natural. Me gusta.

It really does make a big difference. I really like it. If baddies are slowed equally much, Sensuki and we all have ourselves a winner! 

They should be, it's the global value in the class that governs unit movement. Try it out and report back

This looks nice. I hope you do a combat video with it as well. Also try to reduce it to 5/second as well and try combat with it.

Well Monster movement speed probably needs to be adjusted on a per-unit basis anyway (in their creature file) oozes move at a million miles an hour. This fixes the default speed though I think. My next "vs the Beatles" video will have this mod.

Sen I don't even know what to say.  I'm pretty sure if someone cut you you'd just bleed IE code.  I remember how my first impressions of the BB was how it didn't remind me at all of the IE games.  Meanwhile, you change run speed on a whim and *nail* it first time.

 

I mean.. I don't even.. GRAH!!

 

PoE maestro indeed.

sesnuki can you do a side-by-side video of the two speeds? With combat as well to see the enemies? I don't want to reinstall the beta just to check this out.

 

Also, devs have you seen this?

Yeah I can do that and not sure. Give me 20-30 mins and I'll pop one up.

Don't know if it's working actually, might just be placebo

 

Will investigate further

Lol I just tested it ~22 seconds from the exit to the inn entrance.  Which coincidentally enough is about your video's time as well.  Don't I feel like an idiot...

 

Edit: Sen's got enough street cred that we just take him at his word (which is just fine mind you).

This is nice. The game was really too fast paced earlier. Thanks sensuki. Can you try out even slower a speed like 4m/s? Also does the combat -clustered ness get reduced by this? Feeling?

That's actually the default game speed, it's not working properly. I think I changed the wrong value Trying another one

This was actually very funny overall :D

 

EDIT: it's implied that you guys absolutely love the current movement speed!

It's possible that creatures themselves have a value that overrides the declared variables in the Mover class. If they were going by the default values, what I have changed should work for both players and enemies.

Is it only working for the players? Or not even for them?

No, something is overriding the declared speeds. Haven't figured out what that is yet

The run speed is declared in data, and I'm not sure if you can mod it easily. You might be able to change each prefab if you can get your hands on it somehow. That data can be found in the mover afaik. 

 

We've been discussing changing speeds across the board to be slower. I think it's probably a good change.

 

Good luck!
