Increasing chatlog?

Bas

Huhu,

just wanted to ask if you may know possibilities to enlarge the chatlog - I wasn’t able to find tuts for this, but iirc there were some mods where this was included.

cheeseontoast

arent they dependant on how much chat is taken place to begin with? lol

M0tah

Yeah, there’s an offset in freelancer.exe that allows you to increase how many lines of chat are kept in the log.

0x20 in freelancer.exe, 0x691d1 = maximum number of chat lines in chat history window (signed byte, so max of 127)

Bas

Ty m0tah - Now I just need to find a way to edit the EXE, but will be able to do so I hope ^^

Yup, I gave him that offset almost two weeks ago.

Bas

Just wanted to if there is maybe also an offset for the number of characters which can be entered in chat? (“at one ENTER”)

M0tah

Yeah, there is.

0x50 in freelancer.exe, 0x6a440 = maximum number of characters in multiplayer chat window

Bas

w00t? ty !

Someone should add those very nice entry into the FL limit breaking list ;D

viper

is there also a hack to change size of the chatbox ?

M0tah

Yep.

-0.265f in freelancer.exe, 0x1ceee4 = y position of chat box
0.065f in freelancer.exe, 0x1ceee0 = height of chat box
0.46f in freelancer.exe, 0x1ceedc = width of chat box

Holy smokes M0tah, nice work!

Bas

Eh M0tah…I have the feeling you created a list by yourself, could you share it with us? ;D
(I can’t remember those things in the official limit breaking techniques list…;))
