changing the multiplayer game speed

All of last night I looked mostly in the Blizzard.j and a few other files for anything to do with unlocking the melee game speed, or changing it's default "SPEED_FAST" to something else. I have a good feeling it would be in the blizzard.j. I have been unsuccessful so if anyone discovers how to do any of this please respond. It seams so easy but it isn't, maybe I overlooked something?

Unlocking the melee game speed?

To change it you just go to the menu then gameplay options and choose the game speed, no unlocking needed.

I don't know about changing the default though, a look in the ini file might help.

Actually forget my original question I got a better one:

Is it possible to change the increments of each speed value or does it have to be an integer? I noticed in the common.j:

constant gamespeed MAP_SPEED_SLOWEST = ConvertGameSpeed(0)
constant gamespeed MAP_SPEED_SLOW = ConvertGameSpeed(1)
constant gamespeed MAP_SPEED_NORMAL = ConvertGameSpeed(2)
constant gamespeed MAP_SPEED_FAST = ConvertGameSpeed(3)
constant gamespeed MAP_SPEED_FASTEST = ConvertGameSpeed(4)

Let's say I wanted a speed that wasn't quite 4 but wasn't quite 3 (3.5) is it possible to have floats? Does anyone know where to go to edit this, as changing these values didn't do anything. Also Gibberish the only ini I found was a Bnet one and it had hardly anything in it.

You can use custom text and do the following

call SetGameSpeed(ConvertGameSpeed(i))

where i is an integer. Can't do floats and can't go above 4 (I didn't notice a difference when I set it to 10) :(. Was hoping I'd be able to set it to something high.
