Mod to play faster, the tropico challenge.
By MoanDer
Hi,
i used to play normal and after some time i tried multiplayer, its very nice that you dont have to wait for things, for example the almanac, or a building, and I discovered that multiplayer was more fun than solo.
In solo if you are thinking where to place the building the game stops, if you are looking your almanac game stops, a mission game stops... thats boring at least for me. So i decided to look how to solve this, and after some research i got helped by Darthpresidente and now i will explain how to do this little mods to get this working so you dont have to wait for everything making this game a real time strategy game. I will also explain how to play in faster speed making this game a real challenge.

How to mod
  1. First of all go in steam to your library, go to tropico right button and properties.
    select local files -> see local files.
  2. So you are in the folder, in my case
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Tropico 5
  3. now make a folder called CommonLua
  4. Create a text file
    click right button -> new -> textfile
  5. Press F2 with the file selected to rename it, call it for example noPause.lua the extension is the important thing to get loaded by the game.
  6. Edit it with notepad or other program and add the text of the mod
  7. Save the file.
  8. Start the game and enjoy
Mod to play non-stop
Name of the file
noPause.lua

OnMsg.ClassesPreprocess = function()
function TropicoPauseDialog:Init()
CreateRealTimeThread(function()
if self.ctrl_state ~= "destroying" and self:GetVisible() and not netInGame then

end)
end
end
Mod to play faster
Name of the file
fastSpeed.lua

Text to add
OnMsg.ClassesPreprocess = function()
const.DefaultTimeFactor = 1500

Comments
You can play even faster changing the value, instead of 1500 you can play in 2000 and you will be playing 2X faster. Default value is 1000
