    SPD_OFF = 1
  # Minimum speed. Default is 4.
    MIN_SPD = 4
  # Maximum speed.
    MAX_SPD = 999
  # A number by which the leading actor's agility will be divided to get the
  # final speed result. Meaning: how much agility is needed to increase the speed
  # by 1.

Notes
This script aliases the update method of Game_Player class so it should be compatible with all other scripts out there.

You are aware that just a value of 6 for the speed is already blazingly fast? I wonder if such a system wouldn't be more suited to pixel movement...

[XIV]

Yep I'm aware of that...that's why the increment of the speed can be regulated with the agility division constant, plus the speed value can be a float number. I see your point, but with a bit of calculating this script could be useful to those who want to have a feature like this in their games.

Yeah i put my agility on max and a run over 500 tiles long map in joust 10 sec.

Wow man! Awesome script! Very nice movement speed. Now we RPG creators don't have to change the characters movement speed in game
