I am attempting a megaproject but speed:1 doesnt seem to do anything in DF2010... Also there is no data/objects folder to delete. How do I give my guys super speed?

[Frumple]

It's been mentioned/noted in probably a dozen+ places already, but the piece of information you're looking for is that there's individual raw files in the particular region's save; you need to edit those in order to change how a critter works in-game without regenning the world.

The basic raw/objects files are only called when you generate a world (or specifically choose it in arena mode); afterwards, any on-the-fly editing has to be done via the individual save's files.

Speed:0 dwarves are working just fine, so you shouldn't have any trouble with it, once you're working in the right spot.

[Huggz]

Aha, working now, thanks!

There are still pathing issues that may or may not be aggravated by speed:0

What is a dwarf's unmodded speed? (how much faster does [SPEED:1] make them?)

What is a dwarf's unmodded speed? (how much faster does [SPEED:1] make them?)

I believe it's 1000.
A dwarf usually takes a step every 10 frames, a speed 1 dwarf takes 10 steps a frame (or thereabouts.)

[Twitch]

in 40d, everyone is 900 and elves are 700. Speed 0 makes them stupid fast

[Djohaal]

Actually due to the game's formula you can crank the speed up to -99
(the speed formula is like Speed = 1000/100+SPEED) where SPEED is the speed you put in the tag.
Speed -99 means you get 1000 speed (I did try it and it works)

so for sake of records,

[SPEED:-101] makes dwarfs move through time

[Jay]

Uh, except..  Not.
[SPEED:0] gives the maximum possible speed.

except mine was a joke based on post before me...which needs to be re-explained

Except mine was referring to the post before you... which is dead wrong.

Is it really? thanks for mentoining 

[Deon]

Yeah any negative values were culled. At SPEED:0 there were fun things in Adventure mode where you could hit multiple enemies and it was like a time-stop, then you made a move and BANG they flew in various directions simulationesly.

Umm... to be more specific, "Speed" is actually a delay with a misleading moniker. 

Having done some testing with the agility attribute and the psuedo-adventurer mode in the testing arena, I can say that the 40d rules seem to continue to apply in every area but the way that the agility attribute works.
