[Mod] Increase First Person Speed

[SirNukes]

This mod gives a moderate boost to first person movement speed. Lateral movement is particularly boosted to relieve that sluggish feeling when dropping out of run mode to do a sidestep. Increases are somewhat limited to avoid breaking immersion too much.

Standard forward speed increased 25%.
Strafe and backpedal set to match forward speed (150% speedup).
Run speed multiplier increased from 2x to 2.5x (56% speedup).
Crouch speed multiplier increased from 0.5x to 0.8x.
Crouch delay reduced from 0.2 to 0.1.

Would be great if you could change the file layout and add an main file with your changes inside.

FYI, there's a keybind to run that does the same thing as this mod.

There is a keybind for run and walk that aren't bound. I haven't had success in getting them to work though. UI has issues as it is being unresponsive. If it even worked reliably I'd be more inclined to use a mod as docks are huge. Takes a bit to get to a merchant on a dock and crafting station sometimes.

Double tapping W works as in x rebirth did to go faster while walking.

What did you have in mind? As far as I know, the layout can't be reduced further without packing in a cat/dat pair, which would obfuscate the code and make it hard to customize.

Edit: dropbox was zipping up a little oddly, so I did replace it with a better formatted zip file at least.

I got a report over on the Nexus that X4 can't load my run speed mod unless they delete my description in content.xml. Does anyone know why this might be? My only guess is that X4 can't handle newlines on some systems. The description that causes them to crash out is below, using normal newlines for writability and "
" for the in-game newline.
