I'm a fan of this whole series, and being an over 50 years old, aint so fast with my mouse. There was a game slow-down script I had for BFME I and II which I lost in an HDD crash. Does anyone use it or have the text file? It controlled the game speed via cntrl+# or shift+#

Thanks

I'm not sure what script you are talking about... *searches T3A*

However, there is a mod (BFME2 Special Extended Edition) that dramatically lowers the pace of the game... making things take longer to build and all that... I'm not sure if it slows down the units though...

I couldn't come up with anything with the search, maybe one of the veteran members could shed some light on this...

does it also make the game faster if you choose, cause impatient people like me might like that!

Hi Mitch and welcome to T3A!

I recommend you try my mod, like JEV suggested. You will find it HERE! (click me!) Or click the banner below me. It does slow the pace of the whole game down, not the movement of units though, and perhaps that's what you ment?

I hope you find an answer to your problem which way it may be

Thanks for the replies. Yes Nazgul putting your mod on. I'm more of a wargamer than a pure gamer, so I like to plan...

About the script text file.

It was last year when BFME II came out I saw a posting saying needed slow-down. The posting was in a forum on the game, but I do not remember. It was a text-script you put into the directory then you could control the game speed with cntrl +1 onwards...so it could be slowed or speeded up. I don't want to use a computer program (such as Speeder, Game Speed Changer). I use different scripts for Dawn of War (all versions) and COH but they only work for those particular games.

I've Googled myself out. I think what has happened is that the particular forum I got it from is either dead or more likely the posting is soo old it has been deleted.

Thanks again

Here is the Dawn of War hack

autoexec.lua

you have to put the -dev after the program run command

+++++++++under+++++++here

bind( "shift+F1", "vslow()" )
bind( "shift+F2", "slow()" )
bind( "shift+F3", "standard()" )
bind( "shift+F4", "fast()" )
bind( "shift+F5", "vfast()" )


function vslow()
setsimrate( 2.5 );
end

function slow()
setsimrate( 3.5 );
end

function standard()
setsimrate( 4.5 );
end

function fast()
setsimrate( 5.5 );
end

function vfast()
setsimrate( 10 );
end

screenmode = 0
function toggle_screenmode()
if screenmode == 0 then
taskbar_hide()
message_hide()
screenmode = 1
else
taskbar_show()
message_show()
screenmode = 0
end
end
bind("shift+tab", "toggle_screenmode()")

+++++++++above+++++++here

Hey mitch,

welcome to the forums
I'm afraid that DoW hack isn't of much use, since BfME2 hardly relies on lua. It may be moddable using some stuff in commandmap.ini, but I don't know how to, nor do I have the time to look it up.

Hi everyone,
I hope I'm not annoying anyone with this n00b post.
I think I'm in the same situation than Mitch here - the game is a bit too fast paced for me (maybe I should stick to patience...)
Do you have an idea how it'd be possible to slow down the game? I've been googling for days and tried to figure out some attributes in the .BIG files but with no result.

Could anyone help me out with this one?

Set all graphics to ultra high. The game will slow down considerably, especially if your machine cannot cope.

umm.. yeah. I'm still wishing for a piece of script though... or a setting in the .ini files or something

EDIT: Funny that nobody knows how to programmatically slow down the game, it's still quite basic stuff, no?

Isn't there a debug mode that does this kind of thing?
