TFS 1.X+ Match character movement duration to diagonal movement cooldown.

[kubiczi123]

Hey. Im in search of improving the UX of player movement.
Currently the character moves diagonally very fast, then has to wait.
Is there a way to sync the character movement speed with the movement cooldown? (As in, you can walk right again after the diagonal movement animation is done)

Alright nevermind...
Already found it.
client/src/creature.cpp

void Creature::updateWalk(const bool isPreWalking)
{
    const float walkTicksPerPixel = getStepDuration(true) / static_cast<float>(g_gameConfig.getSpriteSize());
    const int totalPixelsWalked = std::min<int>(m_walkTimer.ticksElapsed() / walkTicksPerPixel, g_gameConfig.getSpriteSize());
    // needed for paralyze effect
    m_walkedPixels = std::max<int>(m_walkedPixels, totalPixelsWalked);
    updateWalkAnimation();
    updateWalkOffset(m_walkedPixels);
    updateWalkingTile();
    if (m_walkedPixels == g_gameConfig.getSpriteSize()) {
        if (isPreWalking) resetWalkAnimationPhase(true);
        else terminateWalk();
    }
}

Simply change the "true" in getStepDuration() to "false".

uint16_t Creature::getStepDuration(bool ignoreDiagonal, Otc::Direction dir)

thanks, helped me

If you couldn't use the method above, it might be that yours is OTClientV8 Kondra. In that case, follow this tutorial as an alternative.

Step 1: Modify the creature.cpp file in the OTClientV8 Kondra source code.

In the creature.cpp file, search for:

getStepDuration(true)

Replace all occurrences with:

getStepDuration()

Then, search for:

interval *= factor;

Change it to:

interval *= 1.5;

---

Step 2: Modify the localplayer.cpp file in the OTClientV8 Kondra source code.

In the localplayer.cpp file, search for:

getStepDuration(true)

Replace all occurrences with:

getStepDuration()

---

Step 3: Modify the creature.cpp file in the Server source code.

In the creature.cpp file in the Server source code, search for:

// extra diagonal cost
lastStepCost = 3;

Replace it with:

// extra diagonal cost
lastStepCost = 1.5;

Then, search for:

if ((dir & DIRECTION_MASK_DIAGONAL) != 0) {
    stepDuration *= 3;
}

Replace it with:

if ((dir & DIRECTION_MASK_DIAGONAL) != 0) {
    stepDuration *= 1.5;
}

---

Note:

The value 1.5 controls the speed. If you want to increase or decrease the speed, simply change this value accordingly.
