FL Hack

adoxa

After changing the Eagle to CAPITAL, wow, that is just weird. Here’s a quick hex edit to add the FREIGHTER type to TRANSPORT and CAPITAL. Don’t know if freighter will always override capital/transport, but at least the controls work.

File: Common.dll    # v1.1
18c8c6: 12 [ 10 ]   # TRANSPORT + FREIGHTER
18c8ce: 22 [ 20 ]   # CAPITAL + FREIGHTER

```BTW, CAPITOL doesn't exist.

Thanks, will test it out.

Alright it works very well but I have found one drawback: when an NPC uses one of these two now, the icon in the contact list will be a freighter icon instead of a transport/capital icon. Can this be changed or is it a problem we must accept if we want to use that hack?

adoxa

It tests freighter before the other two, so try with fighter instead.

File: Common.dll    # v1.1
18c8b6: 05 [ 04 ]   # GUNBOAT + FIGHTER
18c8be: 09 [ 08 ]   # CRUISER + FIGHTER
18c8c6: 11 [ 10 ]   # TRANSPORT + FIGHTER
18c8ce: 21 [ 20 ]   # CAPITAL + FIGHTER

Is there any possibility of mapping a key to toggle the “follow waypoints”? As it is, with that option enabled it is difficult to do anything other than follow waypoints.

adoxa

Possibly. You could just target something else, since it will only follow waypoints if nothing is targetted. I stopped using that option after creating Hypercruise, bypassing the intermediate waypoints altogether. No help for MP, though.

Version 1.52 is available. It adds the patches for Inverse mouse, and makes Clean/Lighting/Inverse mouse work on start.

Version 1.53 is available. It takes armor into account when displaying hull health and displays the shield health for solars (trade lane rings). Fixes the conflict with MultiIntro (MultiIntro will override Hack when starting FL).

Is there a way to specify the targeted directory? Since the new version of discovery mod it wont work in there.

Can anybody reupload FLHack?

hmmm…
Seems like when Adoxa pulls out, he pulls all the way out…?
A shame, what an awesome asset he was for Freelancer.

Don’t read more into it than there is. It’s not the first time his site goes down for a couple of days/weeks.

So I take it I should wait for the website to come back up?

Sushi

Yup

Banesi

I’ve been waiting for the website to come back up, but it doesn’t seem like it intends to anytime soon.

So I took to searching all over google for this file, let’s just say nobody uploaded it anywhere, and even using various search perimeters I had no dice. Eventually I found a torrent that had it bundled with other files, but it was dead on seeds.

I was running out of hope.

I tried a random search only vaguely relating to FLHack, and what do you know I actually pulled up the file directly from the creator himself!

It was posted by the original author, so there shouldn’t be a problem in linking it right?

I also took the liberty of uploading it, I hope you all enjoy it, it’s made revisiting singleplayer quite nice for me.

A few false positives by bad AVs, take it for what its worth considering the way it functions.

I hope nobody else has to search for hours like I did to find this.

Happy gaming.

It seems that this version is older and doesn’t work with mods. Whenever I try to run a mod with this it says “Different Version of Freelancer”

It seems that this version is only compatible with version 1.1

cvekiboy

From my archive!
Dunno is this same version like yours.
Never used it.

Haha, just in time!
//Fuck. Wrong date, mistook it

Banesi

Thanks to everybody for the help!

As for the problem I was having I figured out how to fix it.

I got the same error as the guy above “different version of freelancer”. It wasn’t because of the exe version, but rather because of an incompatibility of windows 7 and flhack.

Simply run the exe in compatibility mode for windows xp sp3 and it will work fine. This has been quite the hunt, but in the end it paid off in the end.

Adoxa’s site seems to have moved: http://adoxa.site90.net/freelancer/

I dunno if this is recent or not, I just remember someone mentioning it was down xD
