I made a mod for this years ago https://itch.io/t/2177772/mod-faster-combat

I've started playing recently and I haven't noticed any issues with it. I do agree it would be nice to have in the base game.

A mod made with the help of zeltop. Faster combat multiplies animation delays by a float. This float is 0 by default and will make combat animations almost instant, greatly speeding up combat. It is found in settings.gd. You can even lengthen the animations if you want to waste more time.

To install just move into the game folder in %appdata%. .ini and .gd files from the mod should be in %appdata%/Strive for Power 2/mods/fasterCombat. Then just enable it through the ingame mod manager and restart the game.

Feel free to copy/improve it into your own mod, I'm unlikely to maintain it in the future.

If a file name has Un, it will be removed and 8 Un will be added to the end. Tagging will still work but the 8 Un will remain at the end of the file (before the checksum).

The regex is faulty for a few things. Mostly between skin and hair colors. Adding pale blue skin will tag blue skin and blue hair. Black_Gray will add black and gray etc. The existing (?<!izes) do not work either. Apparently ?<! works for prefixes while ?! for suffixes. 

Adding a number for the amount of pictures with the current filters on would be nice.

It works like before the webp was implemented. You can choose webp images but they don't show the picture and you can't edit them.

I finally figured how to get the error output from java so I got this. The last 2 errors repeat everytime I choose a different picture. I checked the temp folder and it does create a dll named like that.

E: Ok so I managed to fix it. You have to have Visual studio 2019 with the cmake package installed for it to work. I think I uninstalled it around the time it stopped working (was around a week so a few things had changed). I also ran a dumpbin on it for dependents and I got this. If I had to guess I was missing the VCRUNTIME140D.dll.

Not really sure what changed but it doesn't seem to work with webp anymore. I tried a fresh download, old 1.96 version, restarting, updating java and even a different pc, but it didn't work. Pngs still work fine though, so perhaps something related to webp library?

The webp portion seems to work fine but the missing tag system seems faulty.  The cause seems to be the more sophisticated regex. For example if you look for missing races ass and tits sizes, you'll see elves with big tits and small/big ass. You can work around this by just making custom filters as those seem to work fine. You can also fix it by changing the settings to simple string regex but that will probably mess with compatibility.

I've modified the original editor to work with webp, but it lacks a lot of the functionality this one has. Could you post the source code or add support for webp?
