See these threads:


There might be others, but these are just the ones I can recall reading.

To answer your question, though: No (at least not yet, if ever?).

I thought it was SHIFT + \ to fast forward

and

\ to return to normal speed?

Give it a try. I use it all the time myself to skip past the hyper in sequence at the start of a CPU skirmish during testing.

Are you sure ? There is no mention of this shortcut in the keybindings.lua file oO (and I never heard of it)

@sastrei is correct - he may just have mappings that others don’t have… ? I think these were debug keys, I am not even 100% sure they work in all builds released - the public preview may vary, or even some of the private beta builds…

In my autoexec.lua (where the exe is, I forgot how the public does this?)

bind2("TurboEnable(4)", SHIFTKEY, BACKSLASHKEY )
bind2("TurboEnable(1)", CONTROLKEY, BACKSLASHKEY )
bind1("TurboEnable(2)", BACKSLASHKEY )

So:
Shift / is Go faster by 2x
Ctrl / is Go slower by 2x (yes including slo-mo)
/ is return to normal speed

That code goes into Steam\steamapps\common\Homeworld\HomeworldRM\Bin\Autoexec.lua

That does not seem to be an existing file, sadly. :frowning:

Copy paste the mappings that bitvenom listed into a new text file and rename it to match

And you would be correct. Follow @sastrei’s instructions. Also, make sure the file didn’t get renamed to autoexec.lua.txt.

@BitVenom: the autoexec.lua had to be in the bin folder not the bin\release folder for Homeworld 2. Did that change for RM?

Is TurboEnable() also useable in an UI command, like Universe_Slowdown() ?
If that’s the case, I could add it to my code here 20 !

Edit :
I see that it can also slow things down. Does it have the same effect than Universe_Slowdown() in that case ?
The only parameters for it are 1, 2, and 4 ? Or is there other ones (like 8 for x4 for example) ?

I’d like to note that doing it over and over increases the effect…

The effect is actually minimal if you only do it once. If it’s really fast and you do the slow combo, it gets less fast, not instantly slow.

ok, so it changes the current speed.
From normal speed, doing TurboEnable(4)+TurboEnable(4)+TurboEnable(1) will achieve the same speed than TurboEnable(4).

So yes, it did change, evidenced by the other posts here. Btw, what is Galaxy? Is that the public beta?

Here’s another method to speed up and slow down the game. Open the following file in notepad:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Homeworld\HomeworldRM\Bin\Profiles\Profile#\PLAYERCFG.LUA

Find this section:

  ControlsOptions = {
    keys = {

Copy and past this code below it:

     {
       0,
       "TurboEnable(4)",
       0,
       0,
       "debugbind2",
       {
         16,
         220,
       },
     },
     {
       0,
       "TurboEnable(1)",
       0,
       0,
       "debugbind2",
       {
         17,
         220,
       },
     },
     {
       0,
       "TurboEnable(2)",
       0,
       0,
       "debugbind1",
       {
         220,
       },
     },

While you’re in the game, use these keys. You can also press them multiple times to increase the effect.

  • Speed Up: Shift + \
  • Normal Speed: \
  • Slow Down: Ctrl + \

Note: This is best used for Player vs CPU. It may potentially cause some glitches in the campaign, but nothing a mission restart can’t fix.
