Can't increase trade lane draw distance
-
Hey everybody,
I’ve been working on freelancer for the last 1,5 week making it look insanely good. I’ve managed to get everything work, like HD textures, view distances(bases planets asteroids etc etc), bloom effects and widescreen support and some other minor things. The only thing is, which is annoying me very badly, that I can’t seem to increase the draw distance for tradelanes. I’ve tried changing the LODranges in all kind of ways and added “space_farclip = 1000000” to all Systems. But still the tradelane will only spawn at about 10k distance. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I know this might be a repost or something, I don’t know but i’ve been looking for a solution the whole week and I can’t find any =(
Please help me?Greetings Azzara7,

10000f freelancer.exe 213EC8 FriendlyFire maximum draw distance for some bases (like battleships)

10000f means the view distance is 10000 or 10km and the ‘f’ that follows it tells you that it’s a float value.
If you look at the simple data types at that offset you should find a value of 10000, if you don’t see that value then I assume you are using the original freelancer.exe which is protected. You should download the no-cd version http://the-starport.net/modules/wfdownloads/singlefile.php?cid=1&lid=2649 which will allow you to make hex edits.

Yes I got it! I indeed needed to download the unprotected .exe file.
I got everything working now and it looks amazing!
I’m so happy 
Thank you very much for your help my friend!
P.S.
I noticed the draw distance of the nebula’s ‘‘fog’’ is not increased yet, so when I fly towards a nebula with asteroids in it, I will see all the astroids before they fade away in the fog. Do you happen to know where I can chance the draw distance for the fog? -
Sure, draw distances for fog and clouds etc are in data/solar/nebula but you’ll find that each individual nebula has it’s own file so there’s no quick edit for that one.
