Comments
Could you do a mod which speeds up the monsters' attack speed instead of their damage and health? In DS1 they were attacking much more quickly, and ds2 makes them feel so slow it's kind-of painful.
boro, u know how to mod the game, why aren't u writing it? lol, all u have to do is edit all the monster gas files, there's about 200 of em and lower the attack anim duration from 2.0 to 1.0 that would make them attack 200% faster but may also make them not show their fight anims right.
another option would be to make a monster buff and give all monsters a buff with these enchantments ALTER_MELEE_SPEED, ALTER_RANGED_SPEED, ALTER_CAST_SPEED but again would have to edit every monster gas file.
frankly I think most of the monsters move to slow, when the player moves at 4.0 - 5.0 speed and some of the monsters like rustguard move at 1.0...oh yeah im really afraid of a monster than moves slower than a turtle...but yeah most of the monsters are at a speed disadvantage.
He He he.. right. or, maybe I can do something in windows powershell that does this exact specific task for me. I'm going to finish my ds1 tasks before digging into ds2 though.
