paws of the cheetah/boots of speed

T2av

I'm looking for a mod which lowers the speed of this item to around 50% of what they were.

I find the original boots just damn fast and it looks too cheesey.

I'm on Android, no access to a computer or I'd figure this out myself.. Fortunately, I have all you awesome individuals to help me!

I don't have access to my computer, so I can't attach a file (plus I don't have EE), but the speed boosts wouldn't be hard to mod, if anybody's available to tweak a couple files in Near Infinity and attach them to this thread in a .zip file.

The amulet adds 2 to movement rate; it can be cut down to 1. The Boots of Speed use a haste opcode, which doubles movement rate. I think the normal movement rate is 5 or 6, so you could cut down the boots' bonus by replacing the haste opcode with a movement rate modifier (copy it from the amulet, maybe) that adds 3 to movement rate. Net result should be a movement rate of 9 or 10, instead of 14 or 16.

This might have changed with EE, but haste speeds up poison, regeneration, and Blade Barrier/Globe of Blades effects. Weakening the boots would prevent that from happening, which you may not want (sped-up regeneration is pretty wicked).

By the way, T2av, long time no see!

According to the description of the Amulet of Cheetah Speed, base movement rate is 10. Poking around in NI, The Paws of the Cheetah is classed as a movement rate increase (as opposed to a haste effect; I seem to remember this being an EE change) that sets your movement rate to 200% (of base? of current? not sure).

Try unzipping this file into your override folder and see how that suits you. It should replace the boots of speed with a version that sets movement to 150% (assuming I actually know what I'm doing).

Bah, I think I saved that wrong and I can't replace the file, try this one.
