Increasing chatlog?

Yeah, there is.

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

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

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!

psssst Motah got the FL source

looks like he really got some or he is reverse engineering Freelancer

**Purchase a copy of IDA and you can find down stuff like that , it’s how I figured out the ALE format…

You can even run the server in debug mode using that program.**

But how easy is it to use… for someone relatively non familiar with understanding this sort of thing?

IDA, I figured out applying the offsets a while back.

**Learning to use IDA will require you to get a reference book on assembly. At first it won’t be easy at all but it is like any other language, you will get the feel for it after awhile. One nice thing about it is that it will set up links between each routine and also it will expand and comment certain stuff you would never see with a hex editor.

If you are unable to learn assembly, unfortunately it won’t do you a whole lot of good… one other thing, it isn’t cheap.**

I use IDA free (the free version) - is the commercial one much better?

Another thing that i’d say you should know is PE (portable executable) file format and the way system loads these files into memory when executing.

Hex-rays ;D ;D

@Bas:

Eh M0tah…I have the feeling you created a list by yourself, could you share it with us? ;D

The only other offsets I have indexed are some for the right HUD panel with the weapon controls as part of a project I was working on to adapt the HUD to widescreen monitors.
Those three I posted before weren’t on a list or anything before viper asked if they existed.
