Speed up Puzzle Quest 2

[Ansive]

I think one of the downsides of the sequel is the slow paced nature of the battles.
Too many pauses compared to the first game.

First, to remove the long game intro slideshow.
delete the file ../steamapps/common/puzzlequest2/Assets.zip/Assets/Screens/Logo.xml

And next a few speed fixes for block speed, move speed, cascade speed.

Just overwrite the files with the ones in this archive
..\Scripts\WorldMap\WorldMapConstantsPlatform.lua
..\Scripts\Battlegrounds\BattleGroundGameLogic.lua
..\Scripts\Screens\PlayerInfoMenu.lua
..\Scripts\Battlegrounds\BattleGroundConstants.lua

If you mess something up just resync the game files.
