Editing BannerPage's campaign map speed as a non-scripter.

[dolours]

Hi all,

I am thoroughly exasperated by the mod's slow campaign map speed. No matter how much I ditch, or how many horses I have in my inventory, I'm still hardly hitting 3.0 on open terrain in the daytime.

So I want to get rid of the mod's map speed modifier.

However, I don't know how to edit the scripts.txt file, as I am completely coding illiterate. Deleting the game_get_party_speed_multiplier section entirely, crashes the game. I don't know what "uncommenting" is, nor where to find the place where it's commented.

Also, I'm running the Steam version on Mac.

Can anyone please provide either a breakdown of the numbers in the .txt file or provide me with an edited game_get_party_speed_multiplier section that I can just stick into the .txt?

Thank you!

If you do not have the source code of the mod, you will not be able to do anything.

Is there no way of knowing what the numbers mean and how to tweak them, without the source code?

I don't know the mod so it could be that the mod alters the script in a way that the mod will not longer work as intended.

Not really, you may only decompile the module (it requires some in-depth knowledge), but you will not be able to recompile its altered source code; this way you would at least know the content of the script. Talking about decompiling is sort of muted on the forum, therefore you must know that you may use decompiled stuff for your own use. If you want to use scripts from some other closed-source mod for public enjoyment, you must ask their author(s) for permission; otherwise using scripts you have decompiled without permission is a serious theft.

You may try out Tocan's suggestion to see what happens, although if there are some other related scripts to that snippet, the mod will not work properly.

Thank you for setting out a solution. I tried it, started the game, but the game freezes when I try to either start a new character or load my save. The rgl_log has a ton of errors. I've linked it to see if you could make heads or tails of it, but I unfortunately don't understand it whatsoever.

Thank you! I've tried that route too but the programs don't work on Mac. I will not publish my work if decompiling does, in the unlikely circumstance, succeed.

The last resort may be to ask the mod's author(s) about the source code, provided that you are sure they still are around.

I've tried; no reply yet. It's too bad because BannerPage is amazing and it's just this speed issue that ruins the entire experience.

You need to leave a placeholder in that script so all script ID references can work. Don't need to start new game.
