Dear SAS members & guests,
I know this has been done before, maybe better, maybe bigger, at least in a similar way...
However all the mods doing the same thing like this one does, appeared too "intrusive" to me for occasional usage, that's why I did this one.
This mod features just one purpose hence it changes one java class only.
This mod makes it possible to use enhanced time lapse and slow motion factors while playing offline or while playing recorded tracks.
By default you can use up to 1/32 - 265x compression settings.
Just use your default "time up/down" keys.
In contrast to other mods of this kind, this mod doesn't touch the "AircraftHotKeys" class.
Touching the "AircraftHotKeys" class is generally a bad idea since this class not only gets modified with each new "official" patch, it's also being modified by endless mods out in the wild, so creating another mod for this class means that you end up in the compatibility hell.
This mod in contrast touches the "HotKeyCmdEnv" class only, a class that never got modified by any "official" patch yet and, as far as known to the author of this mod, never got touched by any other mod either.
This mod is least intrusive thus compatible with any base game version from 4.09m through 4.13.1m.
Note the known issues from the readme however, and most of all make sure to read the readme!
Readme:
Time Compression Mod (enhanced Time Lapse / Slow Motion)
v1.00
***************************************************************************
Installation:
Extract this mod into the folder which holds the modded files in your game.
Depending on your game version this might be e.g. MODS, #SAS, #DBW, #UP# or
anything else.
***************************************************************************
Usage:
This mod makes it possible to use enhanced time lapse and slow motion
factors while playing offline or while playing recorded tracks.
By default you can use up to 1/32 - 265x compression settings.
Just use your default "time up/down" keys.
If desired, you can change the default limits by applying settings to your
conf.ini accordingly:
[Mods]
timeMaxMultiplier = 256
timeMaxDivider = 32
The values shown above are default values, they apply
if no other values are set (no need to explicitely set them).
"timeMaxMultiplier" sets the maximum time lapse value, it
should be a powers of 2.
256 means that you can speed up the time lapse up to 256x.
"timeMaxDivider" sets the maximum slow motion divider, it
should be a powers of 2.
32 means that you can slow down the motion to 1/32.
***************************************************************************
About this mod:
In contrast to other mods of this kind, this mod doesn't touch the
"AircraftHotKeys" class.
Touching the "AircraftHotKeys" class is generally a bad idea since this
class not only gets modified with each new "official" patch, it's also
being modified by endless mods out in the wild, so creating another mod for
this class means that you end up in the compatibility hell.
This mod in contrast touches the "HotKeyCmdEnv" class only, a class that
never got modified by any "official" patch yet and, as far as known to the
author of this mod, never got touched by any other mod either.
***************************************************************************
Known Issues:
This mod has been made as little intrusive as possible. The only class
modified is the "HotKeyCmdEnv" base game class.
It's compatible with any base game version from 4.09m through 4.13.1m.
However naturally it is in conflict with other mods touching the
"HotKeyCmdEnv" class, even though the author knows of no such mod.
If you want to use this mod together with other conflicting mods
nevertheless, please make sure to rename this mod's folder accordingly,
e.g. to "### Time Compression" in order to ensure it's loaded before any
other mod touching the same class.
