Add Turbo mode to Albion

Open katastic opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

How difficult would it be to hack in a turbo mode like Dosbox supports? Where it goes as fast as it can (or at least 2x/4x/whatever faster) frame rate? It's really useful for passing boring sections of just backtracking/walking.

Looks like I should be looking into:

https://github.com/M-HT/SR/blob/master/games/Albion/SR-Main/Albion-timer.c

and maybe

https://github.com/M-HT/SR/blob/master/games/Albion/SR-Main/input/pc.c

or something that latches into that general input handler.

I see docs for a "developer mode" but no mention of how to enable that anywhere.

That's not something I'll do myself (in the official release). You can speed up the internal timer (currently ticking at 60 times per second) in function Game_TimerThread in file Albion-timer.c. Other things are tied to the internal timer, which may or may not be what you want. About "developer mode", see for example this page: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/196575-albion/cheats
