actual speed is displayed in the status bar which is in the bottom now. look in the left corner.
Why should game().is_auto_speed() should have been broken?

I had a feeling that command line is not parsed properly, but indeed it works.

Indeed, when I manually increase the speed, the new entry with speed occurs, so yes, it is there.... I did not know

glad to hear it is working.
I fiddled a bit with the numbers to achieve higher gamespeeds. Gamespeed is leveled in latest comit around 13x-15x. Do you remeber what gamespeeds were achievable on average with the old versions based on fps

Well, I did not said it worked face-smile.png

I am POSITIVE that game().is_auto_speed() returns NO, even if CLI argument is properly parsed.

Maybe the problem is how I run it. I have savegames of single player games and load them like:

widelands --autosave=50000 --loadgame=/home/tibor/.widelands/save/crossing_barb.wgf --script=/home/tibor/.widelands/scripting/125min_extra_res.lua --datadir=/var/widelands2/git/trunk/data --nosound --auto_speed --ai_training --verbose

So either:

* we will enable auto speed in single player game
* or perhaps there is a way how to start network game, with all slots AI

What do you think? The second option would be better, because It would not require preparation of savegames

auto_speed only works in multiplayer, --loadgame starts a singleplayer game

Yes, this matches my observations.

Just create a game template and use --new_game_from_template, see https://github.com/widelands/widelands/pull/4884

How can I pass custom lua script?

EDIT: I presume that I can use --script parameter

--new_game_from_template=/var/widelands2/TRAINING/template1.txt

Is this OK? Or is there prescribed location where the template should be. I am getting:

[00:00:00.589 real] WARNING: There's no configuration file, using default values.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'WException'
  what():  [/var/widelands2/git/trunk/src/io/profile.cc:603] in "template1.txt" section [global] not found

I put it also in data/templates/ and the same result
