Yup, I gave him that offset almost two weeks ago.

Just wanted to if there is maybe also an offset for the number of characters which can be entered in chat? (“at one ENTER”)

M0tah · wrote on 3 Mar 2009, 19:34

Yeah, there is.

0x50 in freelancer.exe, 0x6a440 = maximum number of characters in multiplayer chat window

w00t? ty !

Someone should add those very nice entry into the FL limit breaking list ;D

is there also a hack to change size of the chatbox ?

M0tah · wrote on 4 Mar 2009, 03:50

Yep.

-0.265f in freelancer.exe, 0x1ceee4 = y position of chat box
0.065f in freelancer.exe, 0x1ceee0 = height of chat box
0.46f in freelancer.exe, 0x1ceedc = width of chat box

Holy smokes M0tah, nice work!

Bas · wrote on 4 Mar 2009, 08:48

Eh M0tah…I have the feeling you created a list by yourself, could you share it with us? ;D
(I can’t remember those things in the official limit breaking techniques list…;))

**Purchase a copy of IDA and you can find down stuff like that , it’s how I figured out the ALE format…

You can even run the server in debug mode using that program.**

But how easy is it to use… for someone relatively non familiar with understanding this sort of thing?

Bas · wrote on 4 Mar 2009, 22:02

Do you mean the offsets or IDA? For the first one it is quite simple after you got to know how.
You can check out this tut by fox:

IDA, I figured out applying the offsets a while back.

**Learning to use IDA will require you to get a reference book on assembly. At first it won’t be easy at all but it is like any other language, you will get the feel for it after awhile. One nice thing about it is that it will set up links between each routine and also it will expand and comment certain stuff you would never see with a hex editor.

If you are unable to learn assembly, unfortunately it won’t do you a whole lot of good… one other thing, it isn’t cheap.**

I use IDA free (the free version) - is the commercial one much better?

Another thing that i’d say you should know is PE (portable executable) file format and the way system loads these files into memory when executing.
