Jaunt Speed Patch

Jaunt Speed Patch

This is a server-side utility mod for Vintage Story designed to tweak the velocities of riding entities (like Equus horses) when using the Jaunt mod.

Potentially BROKEN with the new Jaunt version!

Key Features

• 100% Server-Side: Players do not need to download or install this mod. Simply drop it into the server's mod folder, and it works instantly. Possible rubber banding with extreme settings on servers, in that case better download also on clients

• Zero Performance Impact: Highly optimized to run directly within the movement calculations, ensuring your server experiences zero lag or tick overhead.

• Smart Hierarchy Customization: Easily set custom speeds globally, for specific mods, or down to individual animal types.

Configuration Guide

When you first launch the server with this mod installed, a configuration file named jauntspeedpatchConfig.json will automatically generate inside your server's ModConfig/ directory.

The mod uses a strict Priority Matrix to determine how fast an entity can move:

1. Specific Entity Overrides: Directly matches a specific creature (Highest priority).

2. Domain Defaults: Applies to every creature from a specific mod namespace (e.g., all horses under the equus mod).

3. Global Defaults: The fallback multiplier used if a creature isn't specified anywhere else.

Sample Configuration (jauntspeedpatchConfig.json)

Here is an example setup configured to make mounts really slow, perfect for testing if the patch is active:

{
  "GlobalDefaultWalkMultiplier": 0.1, // 1 = normal speed, 2 = double speeeed!
  "GlobalDefaultFlyMultiplier": 0.1,
  "DomainDefaults": {
    "equus": {
      "Walk": 0.15,
      "Fly": 0.15
    }
  },
  "SpecificEntityOverrides": {
    "equus:pegasus": {
      "Walk": 0.2,
      "Fly": 0.5
    }
  }
}

Note on Multipliers: A value of 1.0 represents standard, untouched speed. Setting a value to 0.5 cuts that speed in half, while 2.0 doubles it.

Deep gratitude goes out to the creators of the Jaunt mod for creating such an incredible framework for entity gaits and movement!
