WOW, Thank you again! It works!

Gisteron

of course it does, this is our lord and master, Adoxa!

0x83EC04->0xC20800 in freelancer.exe, 0x143D50, 0x143D50 = manually launch from the docking bay/ring ~adoxa

This can make player shield invincible after launch from a base.

Any way to fix it??

Is there a way to render asteroid [band]s from larger distances?

adoxa

@Vital: Here’s a version that only works with docking bays. Not sure if it has any adverse effects. Don’t forget to restore the original freelancer.exe (btw, it should have been 74, not 04).

0xE829C1FFFF8B4C24248D54->0x6A0089F9E835000000EB1F in common.dll, 0x?, 0x501B2 = manually launch from docking bay PART 1
0x8B54->0xEB20 in server.dll, 0x?, 0x22040 = manually launch from docking bay PART 2

Is there a way to aktivate the collisiondetection on Server for NPCs and Loot and so on?

Thanks

I dont know of a way, but its a bad idea to try, IMO. Freelancer doesnt do MP collision detection for NPCs because of all the processor time it would eat up. You’ve got a TON of NPCs flying around that would normally be colliding with every asteroid in existence during combat. If they had collision detection all of a sudden, FL would have to calc for every asteroid object and NPC. The performance drop would be enormous.

Oh, thats why my npcs fly through asteroids sometimes! I have never noticed this in vanilla, but in a mod of mine I have very dense fields of the largest asteroids (the ones not used in fields normally) and there it is quite annoying - npcs fly through, you have to fly around. If this could be fixed…

Sizer

well, in vanilla SP, it calcs for collisions, i think, (i dont remember 100%), because you dont have to worry about server latency.

Quarks

Sometimes they bump of, sometimes not.

Syd

I know: it needs a lot of processor on a normal Server, but I need it for a Eventmod.

The NPC AI tries to evade obstacles but if they collide, they actually dont as far as FL’s physics engine is concerned. At least that’s what I observed.

Is possible to remove Trade Ring Line (blue line) in nav map?

adoxa

0x64->0xC3 in freelancer.exe, 0x992b0 = removes trade lane lines in Nav Map ~adoxa
```That will remove the lines for all systems, whether you've used the lane or not. To only remove non-visited lanes, or for particular systems, will require a bit more work.

NeXoSE

WOW, so fast adoxa And awesome

To only remove non-visited lanes, or for particular systems, will require a bit more work.

I don’t know i can remove non-visited lane lines, how to do it?

Syd

and what is with NPC/Loot HItdetection? Is it possible adoxa?

adoxa

@NeXoSe: Displaying visited lanes would require a plugin, with a fair bit of work. Removing lanes for selected systems would also require a plugin, but should be relatively trivial.

@Syd: I thought it was decided that would put too much load on the server?

Syd

yes, but I dont want to use it on a normal Server.
I need it for a Event-Mod - and there are no NPCs needed, just 1 loot. And I think 1 little object cant overload a Server.

@adoxa

I tried that hack, works very good. Hide some trade lane line will helps make system clean for main traffic way. And I just need remove the line right now, so if not a lot peoples need hide that lines, you may ignore the plugin.
