Faster Attack Speed

Description
Player melee attack animations have been sped up +100-150%. This includes: shoving, stomping, ground attacks, one-handed & two-handed, knives, pistol whips, and most importantly, hit reactions. <== The slow hit reactions resulted in getting stunlocked and combo'd by two or more zombies, resulting in an inescapable death that can feel unfair.

I also sped up the get up animation from falling from higher ground, since it seemed unnecessarily slow as well. This does NOT include falling from tripping or running into a wall.

PURPOSE: Many of the player animations feel sluggish, with long wind-ups and cooldowns. This works fine for slower gameplay, but this game is capable of more action and faster pace. Especially againts sprinter hordes, you may stand a chance. It also makes knives a lot stronger and worth using over heavier weapons.
The settings I run on my server are action-packed, where scripted hordes attack often, which necessitates faster attack speeds such as this.
This should also help bring melee weapons in line with firearms, in terms of sustainable killing potential.

UPDATE 5/16/23:
Added +50% option
Increased speed for recovering from tripping/knockdown, and colliding with a wall after sprinting

Works well with the following mods:
Vaulting Zombies
Here They Come!
Horde Night
Attack Melee
Zambies
Zombie Reanimator
Brita's Weapons
Arsenal Gunfighter
Adrenaline
Slower Sprinters/Joggers and Runners
Danger Zone (Dual Wield)
ANY Melee weapons packs

Inspired by the mod Faster Atk Speed - I modified several values in the way I felt was best balanced

Great mod. I can now play myself in the game. Seriously, anyone who thinks 100% is too much go look up Adorea Swordfighters on YouTube, Knight of Hope even cements the facts in as much as any of their melee duels. Fights are fast. Period. No more of this sissy femboy crap from Dark Souls. Move like that IRL and you WILL die. Fast.

I have updated the 25% version to b42 and posted it. I will take it down when the mod creator updates it b42.

@Pslytely Psycho : this almost works! After doing those steps, open the mod.info with notepad or notepad++ or equivalent and change the build from 41 to 42, now the mod is selectable on the mods menu and it works flawlessly! Also, if a slower than 100~150% speed is wanted, use the 25% or 50% folders instead of the main folder.
Thank you so much! Now I can play the new build.

Please don't make a 42 build because 42 doesn't have co-op)

Here is the translation for Aesarius where he explains how to get this mod to work in build 42.

Works for build 42 (current branch), if you use a hack:
open the folder "CWAX Attack Speed" (address: SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\2894811860\mods)
create 2 folders in it: "common" and "42"
copy the files to the "common" folder: mod.info & poster
copy the "media" folder from the "CWAX Attack Speed" folder to the "42" folder
then activate it through the mods menu like any other mod from the workshop (and merge it into the current save if you don't want to start a new game)

It works!! Playing with it in couch co-op with my wife all afternoon!

thank you Aesarius!
