Don't Starve Together

Don't Starve Together

Let me sprint!
This would be the best mod to 'unbalance the game'
I really love and appreciate this mod but something needs to be fixed
when you hold the [sprint] button, the hunger drain becomes increased
-- the problem is that the hunger drain stays high even when you're not moving.
as the LShift and LCtrl are the key mostly used in the game, I'm using LAlt instead. Even though I often use it to kill innocent creatures. But it doesn't fit for my finger, I really need LShift as sprinting key.

adding more key like Mouse4 or Mouse5 would help me so much

overall this mod is really useful for me

pros:
- you won't spend so much time on your way
- makes it easy to chase creatures
- avoiding fights becomes faster
- are you a solo player? this would be a good mod for draining your hunger faster so that less food will be wasted

cons:
- it increases hunger drain even when you're not moving if you hold the key
- unbalances the armor resources as you can avoid attacks so much easy by running away from hostiles

Hey there! First of all, thanks a ton for taking the time to post this discussion and for letting me know that you are finding this mod useful!

I'll try adding in middle mouse, mouse4 and mouse5 buttons to the list over the next few days. As for fixing the issue with hunger draining faster even while you are not moving - I'll try fix that but I'm still a bit of a modding noob so no guarantees haha.

In the meantime it should be possible to remap the 'Force Container (mod)' key in the settings of the game to some other key such as alt and leave the shift key for sprinting.

Alternatively you also have the option of using a custom mouse controller such as XMouse to remap Mouse4 or Mouse5 to hold an unused key such as 'p' and then set 'p' as the trigger to sprint. See https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/65930-mouse-button-4-and-5-not-being-recognized-help/

Hope that helps!

Thanks for your reply!
using XMouse as said helps me a lot, but unfortunately when I set Mouse5 to click "O" key in XMouse and set the mod's key the same, it doesn't sprint at all. also the hunger didn't get increased. I could type "ooooo" in the chat by repeatedly pressing Mouse5.

I think the mod doesn't response to XMouse key. So probably setting 'force container (mod)' key to Mouse5 and sprint key to LShift is the best option for now

Hey again. In order to make sprinting properly work with Mouse5 you have to ensure that the key you are binding is set to "during" on XMouse. See https://gyazo.com/ba2f9586591486c95ce690a54258818d

Hey, I've managed to fix the issue with hunger still decreasing rapidly when the sprint key is held while standing still.

Happy sprinting!

thanks dude, yet better with the minimum hunger rate. I didn't even know that I need that
