How to speed up games for testing AI?

[SuXue]

If there could be a "super speed" tweak making the game running at 4x speed, then testing AI scripts will be far easier.

One can have a rapid view of AIs fighting each other and spot problems.

This would be a really big help.  I have no idea if it could be done... seems like you'd have to hack the client itself to accomplish that.

I made a little program for this:

No gui or anything. Just run starcraft 2, then run my program. Press + + twice to get to top speed. Top speed is about 4 times faster than what it would normally be.

Enjoy .

Great. Can you add a hotkey for 4x speed, a hotkey for 1x speed, and a hotkey for 0.25x speed?

It just blinks, and then my PC starts to act funny.

What am I doing wrong?

I don't know... I'm rewriting this anyway as a plug-in for Zoxc's launcher.

Dude! This is awesome man! Thank you! :cheers:

Is it working for you Kernel64?

[Kernel64]

Yes. Having it as a plug-in with that awesome launcher. The launcher is beautiful since it's more of a developer's launcher.

The speed is very, very, very, very much helpful. I used to spend hours just watching the AI noob its way 5 mins through every time. But now, whoop! Whip! and aha!

Seriously, I'm just so happy these exist.

Have you tried the Launcher? It's the one with the simple interface. Haven't used anything but this launcher.

Edit:
Doix,
Do you have one that has the Normal Speed at Faster, and faster at the same crazy-awesome speed now?
