How do I make the player run faster?

[bitKoder]

I'm looking to increase the player's running speed from MOVE_SPEED_FAST_1 (normal running speed) to MOVE_SPEED_FAST_2 (acro bike speed), but when I change the value in StartRunningAnim (in event_object_movement.c), the running animation freezes on the first frame and the player "slides" around instead. If I instead reduce the speed to MOVE_SPEED_NORMAL, the animation works exactly as it normally does. I have done a lot of digging and haven't been able to figure out how the running animation is handled. Any ideas on how I could solve this?

You can fix the sliding by setting the lengths of all frames in the running animation to 4 like this:

Worked a treat, thanks!
