Leveled Walking Speed

Like many people, I have always been annoyed with how much slower the player walks compared to npc's, even at higher levels.  Sure, I could just change the player speed through the console but I wanted to progressively get faster as I grew stronger and more experienced.  Not to mention, I don't want to have to remember to adjust my speed every time I wanted to play.

This mod started out as a simple script which increased the player speed with each level but now you can fully customize your speed through the MCM.  Set a minimum speed which is what you will be at level 1.  Set your maximum speed and how much you want to gain with each level.  I know many people think the running, sprinting and sneaking speeds are too fast or too slow relative to the player's walking speed so I added the ability to adjust them as well.

This mod can be added to an existing play-through and the player's speed will be automatically adjusted to match your level.  There should be no conflicts with other mods except those that change the value of SpeedMult.

Change log:

v2. 0  No longer directly changes the value of SpeedMult.  Instead, the mod now uses magic effects to apply movement speed changes.  This should prevent script errors which cause values to stack.

v1. 51  Fixed a bug where SpeedMult was not being set properly after loading a saved game causing modded values to stack.  Fixed incorrect value displayed in MCM.

v1. 5  A few optimizations to improve responsiveness.  Values are pre-calculated rather than calculated at the time of movement changes.  Slight changes to MCM.

v1. 4  Cleaned up the MCM so all adjustments and number values are consistent to two decimal places.  This is purely cosmetic and no functional changes have been made.

v1. 3  Rewrote the functions that tracks pressed keys and changes between running, sprinting and sneaking.  Responds much quicker and accurately without seeing a delay in speed changes.

v1. 22  So the "improved" logic works but causes a delay in actually changing speeds.  Need to rework it but, in the mean time, here is v1. 2 with the debugging message turned off.

v1. 21  BROKEN - DO NOT USE!!  Disabled a debugging notification on that was unintentionally left on.  Tweaked the logic of the function which tracks state changes.  It was less accurate than intended.

v1. 2  Added options to adjust the player's running, sprinting and sneaking speeds relative to your walking speed.

v1. 1  Added an option to set your minimum (level 1) speed

v1. 0  Initial release
