Dev's Limit Breaking 101 Techniques

Gold_Sear

@Venemon : Wow, a nice bunch of offsets you got there! While the reformatting of the list is underway, I’ll keep your offsets in my version of the list at KraftFragment. Your post #1043 actually solves #4 of my to do list! Thanks a lot for that!
From your post #1050: this offset was already found by me in 2015. Be careful to check whether your found offsets are already in the list!

pitch in and take a page to convert to json

I could help with that, especially since I know the history of many of these offsets in the list.

That would be excellent! I’d say just pick a page or pages, and I’ll skip over them. I’m planning to put a bit of work into ‘Damage, Repair and Collision Offsets’ and ‘Docking and Jumping Offsets’ tomorrow, hopefully finishing them.

I also accidentally uploaded the partly-done json to the repository here, and will likely keep updating it, so do feel free to put a PR in with the section you pick in the commit message, and I’ll handle any merges.

Well, for starters, give me the ‘Visibility’ section. Also, “tradelane travel speed” is by Lord of Lunacy, not adoxa. Should I find more mistakes, can I take the liberty to correct them?

EDIT: @Venemon : unfortunately, your “Contact list switch before launch” doesn’t work for me; it switches between ‘important’ and nothing if I alter the ‘04’ byte from Part 1 (even after testing different values).

EDIT2: Ah, I was logged out of github, that’s why I couldn’t edit.

Please feel free to correct mistakes! A good chunk of the move over to json thus far has been done in bulk on my night shift when it’s quiet, so I’ve almost certainly missed a few things/copy-pasted the wrong field here and there

@Gold_Sear
I assume its working now?

Gold_Sear

@Venemon Oddly, yes. I don’t know what happened before, as I double-checked. Well, all good now.

EDIT: is there a reason you include the unchanged bytes in your offsets? I omit them in KraftFragment.

Gold_Sear

While the list is under construction, my text-formatted version can be found at KraftFragment, which gets updated regularly. I plan to eventually turn all the offsets to adoxa’s Bwpatch’s format, but that could take a while…

@IrateRedKite: do you plan to actually make the json payload the ‘official’ version of the list and hence discard the current md-based version?

This is the the plan! It will however, generate a human-readable .mdx page on the wiki that can be filtered by field, etc once it’s all done. Crash offsets works similarly right now, just without the filters.

Gold_Sear

@IrateRedKite : thanks for replying this fast! I plan to work on the json payload for a few hours a week; some offsets are harder because their origin URL can be tricky to track down.

IrateRedKite

An update! I’ve done the equipment section today. Had a ton of luck using this tool to convert the markdown pages into a json object. It’s still a ton of manual work, but this takes a bit of the tedium out of it.

@Gold_Sear Thanks for the PR for the visibility section, hugely appreciate it!

Gold_Sear

I updated KraftFragment, it now contains @Venemon s latest offsets.

EDIT: did some work on the json payload.

Gold_Sear

@IrateRedKite : I will finish the Visibility section on March 6, after being busy for over two weeks. Apologies for delay.

IrateRedKite

@Gold_Sear Hi there, no worries at all! I’ve been slow on updating this as well, have a ton going on right now and it’s been hard to find the time for it!

Gold_Sear

@IrateRedKite Finished the Visibility section (a few minutes too late ).

EDIT: will check tomorrow what the next section for me is gonna be…

IrateRedKite

@Gold_Sear Awesome, that’s great news! I’ve accepted your PR, so that’s visibility in. I’ve got a set of night shifts, so going to see about getting the ‘HUD’ and ‘Miscellaneous’ pages in over the next few days when it’s quiet.

I wasted an entire month trying to figure this out lol (and failed)
nice find, I thought it was drawing only one icon for the group, didnt know thought probability of they are stacked together

BC46

Sorry about that, I should’ve told you sooner. @Skotty asked me a while ago if it was possible to display more than one group member, which I guess was around the same time when you started investigating it. However, due to my busy schedule I couldn’t have a proper look at it myself until last Thursday.

Gold_Sear

Awesome! I’ll get these into KraftFragment on Wednesday or Thursday.

@IrateRedKite lost a little bit of track on the json payload, it is not very easy to see which sections are todo, maybe you can temporarily post the sections todo on KnowledgeBase (including which ones you are planning to do)?
