Melee weapon recovery time cap

[rotalihinna]

Hey all, is there a way to lower the 30ms cap on melee recovery time?

[Tomsod]

I think so, but which game? If MM7, I can give you the addresses for the 30 constant.

Just to be clear - 30 milliseconds is 33 attacks per second. Why, precisely, are we trying to get that even lower?

Newest MMExtension (from repo), Game.MinMeleeRecoveryTime

Just to be clear - 30 milliseconds is 33 attacks per second. Why, precisely, are we trying to get that even lower?

Because it is not 30 ms actually? If you want some numbers, (for MM8 turn-based mode) it is 1.0 * recovery * 2.13333 time units (256 units == 60 in-game seconds). I.e. 30 recovery is 15 in-game seconds if I didn't fail somewhere.

Thank you! And this was for MM7, will the MMextension variable work?

And I think 30 recovery is not 15 in game seconds - that would be too slow

Turn-based mode treats time weirdly (and at least in MM7 it seems to be buggy sometimes), it's better to recall that one in-game minute is about two real seconds and 100 recovery is one minute, so 30 would be about 0.6 seconds. And it seems that MMExt is steadily putting me out of job, ha ha. It's not the first time I'm reinventing the wheel with some hooks or constants; I need to check the git out more often.

EDIT: oh wait, ingame seconds. Then 18. Again, it might actually be 15 in TB, there are definitely some conversion errors regarding recovery there.

Yes, you just need to install newest MMExtension (follow the instructions at the bottom). Or make use of addresses Tomsod offered to give you, but that's much harder I think.

in-game seconds. In-game minute lasts at most 3-4 real life seconds.

I would've probably just provided an MMExt script, so it'd be basically the same. Not much point if there's already an interface, though.

Thanks to all of you, I was able to get the limit down! However, it looks like there's some sort of hard limit at 4 - even if I set the variable to 1, I can't get the recovery lower than 4 in the game no matter what.
