Sandbox is great but the default traveling speed always has me running around the map. I want to
slow down to a walk and smell the roses too.

So off I went looking at the cfg files till I found the command to slow your default traveling speed down.
Before editing a map's cfg file, first make a backup copy. That way you can replace your edited file if you
make a mistake and mess up your map's cfg file.
I would recommed downloading and installing notepad + + for editing your config files. This program is also
recommended by the developers of Sandbox.

http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm

The maps cfg files are located in the packages/base folder.
Choose the map cfg file you want to edit.
Scoll to near the bottom till you see the word "//aliases " without the quotation marks.
Add the below text as shown below:

//aliases

"on_start" = [
movespeed 10

]


You can change the movespeed to a higher number, I set it for a slow walk. The higher the number the faster
you will walk.

Now this will also slow your editing mode travel speed down.
Press the escape key and click on editing GUI
Set your floatspeed at about 600. This will increase your travel speed for editing only. (note you have to do
this each time for floatspeed when you reopen your map)
You can now enjoy walking around the map at your speed and also keep your editing travel speed for building
the map...

i know an easier way to increase or decrease edit mode speed. just press the = button on your keyboard to increase and press the - button beside it to decrease! Much much easier that going to the gui

Thanks for the tip.

Also I found out if you do not want to edit your map cfg file,when you are in edit mode press the tilde key (the one above the tab key) and type the below:
movespeed "plus the number you want for your non-editing movement speed"
No need to edit your cfg file unless you want too.

Well now you can have the best of both worlds, editing your cfg file or just changing it at the map edit mode each time...

Well I've tried both methods and neither worked for me

try = and -,
+50 or -50 floating speed if you are in edit mode, very usefull
