Dev's Limit Breaking 101 Techniques

OutCast

I needed to be able to supress Freelancer Critical warning dialog (which mainly shows as ‘unsupported videocard’ ) and surprisingly for me i came up with initial patch in an hour and thinned it down to one byte in another three hours. Was a night well spent One byte size made me really happy

I can’t remember if anyone did this already but in case anyone needs it:```
Freelancer.exe 001B16FC 84->33 = supress Unsupported video dialog ~OutCast

Intresting Thx!

c’mon hackers, anybody hack map limits that will allow array systems behind 18x18 square in navmap…
I’ve tried, no luck, but here some useless offsets:

freelancer.exe 1D3164 0.279f = Navmap's Letter Grid align on screen (X-axis) ~WhiskasTM
freelancer.exe 1D314C 0.279f = Navmap's Number Grid align on screen (Y-axis) ~WhiskasTM
freelancer.exe 1D3168 0.07f = Navmap's Letter&Number Grid freespace(distance) beetwen letters and numbers  (kind of stretching)~WhiskasTM

freelancer.exe 1D3C48 1.5d = stretch texture of Universe map (?-axis) ~WhiskasTM
freelancer.exe 1D3C50 1.175d = stretch texture of Universe map (?-axis) ~WhiskasTM

freelancer.exe 1C99C8 0.0099999998f = frequency of twinkling diamonds on Universe Map ~WhiskasTM
freelancer.exe 1D3D30 0.06666667f = bunch scale of all systems' diamonds on Universe map and in the same way speed of tradelanes' animation on map (method 1) ~WhiskasTM
freelancer.exe 1D3D2C 200000f = bunch scale of all systems' diamonds on Universe map (method 2) ~WhiskasTM
freelancer.exe 915B8 112000f - bunch scale of all systems' diamonds on Universe map (method 3)  ~WhiskasTM
freelancer.exe 1D3D28 100000f = bunch coordinates of all systems' diamonds on Universe Map (-XY axis) 
~WhiskasTM
freelancer.exe 1D3D24 5000f = bunch coordinates of all systems' diamonds on Universe Map Y-axis  ~WhiskasTM

First sorry for my bad English.

May anyone can help my question?

I try to edit :

1D–>00 server.dll 0112A3 adoxa need level to buy ships/equipment in MP (PART 1)
18–>00 freelancer.exe 07FCE0 adoxa need level to buy ships/equipment in MP (PART 2)
28–>00 freelancer.exe 08049A adoxa need level to buy ships/equipment in MP (PART 3)
0A–>00 freelancer.exe 082E96 adoxa need level to buy ships/equipment in MP (PART 4)
05–>00 freelancer.exe 0B850E adoxa need level to buy ships/equipment in MP (PART 5)
1B–>00 freelancer.exe 0B948E adoxa need level to buy ships/equipment in MP (PART 6)

When I finish those edit work and go into my mod test, I find that :

my equipment setting :

MarketGood = emp_sp_weapon01_mark01, 0, 0.3, 10, 10, 0, 1

ship setting :

marketgood = Razorback_package, 1, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1

when I will buy those thing, the game tell me that I must have more then high level and more friendly to buy, even my level and friendly higher than the mod setting.

May anyone can tell me how to fix it ?

Thanks for your help.

Reconnect?

But I was reconnect and still have the problem.

My game level is 23, buy a ship only need level 1, my friendly is 0.8, buy an equipment only need friendly 0.3, but when I finish those hex hack edit, the game tell me that, need higher level and more friendly to buy those thing.

No one has this problem?

And mission?

You mean that I must to do a mission first?

But my mod is if you are a new player, you need to buy a ship form start, if the player can’t buy any ship, they can’t start the game.

Sorry for my bad English, hope you can know what I mean.

@JONG:
if u create a char the shown lvl is different from the one the server is looking at. Helloween pointed u to this:
after char creation just reload the char (f1 ->select new char->select ur char)

had this problem ages ago with this hack. (players start without ship & 10k$ and must decide between a Starflyer, Transport & Eagle)
all the fresh created chars are lvl 0, even if ur give them a huge bunch of money via multiplayer.fl or newchar.ini and the server shows them as lvl 23.
The Char must be reload. Just let ur clients know that and everyone is happy.

and sry for my english aswell, im starting to get groggy :D:D

What M.o.D said, plus the rep stuff is already part of FL. Sure you’re looking at the right faction?

It’s also work on server for anti cheat? I mean i already did this hack for my mod but i suppose it only work for gentleman which never cheat any bit. Just like the You need more friendly to buy this item function.

AND BTW, now i know you will not help me because you got a love ;(

BBTW: Since i got another people who can speak same language with me: 你个混蛋：）

My mod is on the test, so no any anti cheat on my test server, and I think that is not anti cheat problem.

I think the problem is hex edit, its need same level to buy item or ship like:

level 1 can buy level 1 limit of ship, but if your level > 1, you can’t buy any ship, because your level not equal 1.

Sorry again for my bad English, if you don’t know what I mean.
