Quicker

Quicker

One of the most popular bbros mods is the venerable Faster, by Adam - it has various bugs, however. VilainJoueur came up with an alternate way of speeding up time in-game and put it in his Debug mod. A lot of people find the Debug mod to betoo fully-featured, and don't like having a cheat mod active and installed - so I took it upon myself to extract it into its own standalone mod. It's received some very light updates since then but is still largely the same as the Debug mod's speed feature.

To change combat speed, use the following keys while in combat:

- F1 - default speed, 1x

- F2 - 2x

- F3 - 3x

- F4 - 4x

To change world map speed, use the following keys while on the world map:

- 3 - 4x speed

- 4 - 8x speed

- 5 - 16x speed

Differences from Faster?

Faster works primarily by altering the delays between evaluating AI actions. Quicker works by cranking up the engine's virtual clock. A few key differences:

• []Quicker doesn't need to alter any AI code

  []Quicker is more stable and more resilient (though not immune) to bizarre issues (e.g. the infamous "invisible Unhold") problem

  []Quicker does not affect camera delays

  []Quicker sits on top of the regular options - you can go back to vanilla speed mid-battle if you so choose

About a year after I released Quicker, Enduriel released his own speed mod called Swifter. Swifter speeds up the game in the same way Quicker does, and the two are largely comparable (vs Faster, where it and Quicker use fundamentally different approaches to speeding up the game). The relevant differences:

• []Quicker doesn't require MSU and Modern Hooks

  []Quicker doesn't alter event frequency in any way

  []Quicker doesn't alter the GUI in any way

  []Quicker doesn't allow changing keybindings in-game (though you can edit the files and change the keys it uses if you like)

• Quicker doesn't allow for higher speeds when escorting caravan

Some users have reported that the Ijirok can become invisible if playing at higher-than-normal combat speeds. I'd recommend just setting combat speed to 1x for that fight.

Some users have reported a bug with very high (e.g. 32x) world map speeds causing events to fire later than they should. I don't believe this is something I can fix on my end. This shouldn't cause issues on lower (e.g. 4x/8x) world map speeds, or if you use higher speeds in limited amounts. If you primarily play on the higher speeds, however, some users have reported being able to use the Event Frequency Mod as a hack around this. Qu
