Does anyone know how Speed= is calculated??

LH_Mouse · Last edited by LH_Mouse on Sat Jun 18, 2011 7:21 pm; edited 3 times in total

I've made some experiments:

A Speed=10(not 8) InfantryType(with default SpeedType=) runs at the same speed as a Speed=6 VehicleType(with default SpeedType=), and a Speed=10 VehicleType runs at the same speed as a Speed=20 AircraftType(with default SpeedType=).

Could someone tell me how their speeds are calcluated?

[EDIT] Oops, the Speed= of the InfantryType I used in that experiment was 10, not 8.

Do you've considered the terraintype specific speed settings?
Speedtype Foot and Speedtype Wheel have different percentages on clear and rough ground IIRC.

However i find it indeed a bit strange that speedtype winged should have 50% of Wheel. Though winged is hardcoded and you can only be sure by checking the exe on this one.

I can only point you this. SpeedTypes might contain your difference.

They're all moving at 100% speed on clear ground, aren't they?

I don't know. I don't have access to a Ra2/YR rules/md.ini right now

ok, that's indeed strange. Has anyone tested this for TS as well?

Maybe WW made infantry 33% slower, so the walkanim matches better the ingame movement and aircraft 50% slower, so the speed numbers can be used for a finer adjustment range.

Are these numbers accurate?

Well, i simply calculated the 33 and 50 percent from your speed values, but they look like as if they would make some sense. #Tongue

Though the infantry value could be also only 25%
100/6 * 8=133,333 means vehicles are 33% faster (or infantry are 33% slower)
100/8 * 6=75 means infantry are 25% slower (or vehicles are 25% faster)

Your example values infantryspeed 8 and vehiclespeed 6 are a bit small to calculate an exact value.

Confirmed for InfantryTypes:
step_distance = Speed*256/100*bonus_coefficient

Seems that speed for VehicleTypes is added something before it is used to calculate.

Well, worked over a night. The algorithm may be one of these two:

1)step_distance = Speed*256/100*bonus_coefficient/7*256/24
or
2)step_distance = Speed*256/100*bonus_coefficient/7*256/23

Experiments supported the second one, however I'm considering this negligence of WW. Because drive locomotor is based on a table which contains 24 elements.

====================

If the second one is correct, then a Speed=10 InfantryType's actual speed is [10*256/100]=25, while a Speed=6 VehicleType's actual speed is [[6*256/100]/7*256/23]=23, so they're moving at similar speeds.
