Level Requirements for MP?

Is it possible to activate this? I mean in singleplayer you have to be level 4 to buy startracker, while in MP you can be any level to buy the startracker.

The ship purchasing depends on your funds(money) in MP. If you dont have enough money you can’t buy the ship. In SP theres a level requirement because level depends on funds.
Also, if the ship is sold on a specific base, you must have a green rep with the base to purchase the ship.

Its the same in MP - level depends on your current worth aswell. But the level requirements don’t work. Thats what I would like to see working. Haven’t tried the friendly rep requirement yet, but I think it also doesn’t work.

Friendly rep requirement does work. My point was that level requirement in MP is not needed because there its more realistic: Have enough funds? Buy yourself a ship!! Also in MP the level depends on your ship’s worth (with all the additional equipment), so its more complicated to level up.

I ignore level requirement for FL Hack, so let’s see if it works the other way.

freelancer.exe	0B948E	1B->00 = appropriate level required to buy ships in MP ~adoxa

Thanks adoxa, works! Could you make the same for equipment in multiplayer (mostly guns)?

Oh and TheDvDMan good to know that friendly rep requirements work.

Remember that this will not act as an anticheat. If you use this on your server, anybody will be able to just reverse the change and purchase ships without level restrictions!

Yes speaking of that - what about other exe hacks? Can the changes be reversed too and used as a cheat?

Gisteron

as long as you have no cheat detection that scans for that, sure. every model, alchemy, material, program library, application file, utf library, sound, absolutely every key file can be changed and the server wouldn’t bother. everything that is triggered by the server, eg surs, will be triggered from the server computer anyway.

After further testing, this doesn’t work. I added 5 mils to my account, I was rank 45 and I still couldn’t buy the patriot from planet manhatten (required level: 1).

If wodka not around here… Is any way to encrypt EXE file without be identify as virus?

FriendlyFire

Make a separate topic, don’t hijack another one.

Sorry, but i just want to know if is possible to anit-reverse-editing.

Turns out Freelancer uses a global variable to store the current level, but only for SP, so in MP it just saw whatever the last level in SP was. I think this covers it.

server.dll	0112A3	1D->00 = need level to buy ships/equipment in MP ~adoxa
freelancer.exe	07FCE0	18->00 = need level to buy equipment in MP PART 1 ~adoxa
freelancer.exe	08049A	28->00 = need level to buy equipment in MP PART 2 ~adoxa
freelancer.exe	082E96	0A->00 = need level to buy equipment in MP PART 3 ~adoxa
freelancer.exe	0B850E	05->00 = need level to buy ship in MP PART 1 ~adoxa
freelancer.exe	0B948E	1B->00 = need level to buy ship in MP PART 2 ~adoxa

```The server patch returns the level for MP (instead of -1). Each part 1 sets the level (where it calls the server). Each part 2 activates the level requirement. Part 3 changes the equipment item display to reflect it's not available.

As usual, brilliant work adoxa! It works. Thank you.

NeXoSE

Surprize! Thanks adoxa. Now i can make more special things for player LOL, But what about anitcheat?

adoxa

This edit has been improved. Still working on the anticheat, hopefully I’ll have it done by this time tomorrow.

You should restore each PART 1 mentioned above, otherwise the new change will not be used. It’s not necessary to restore the server edit.

Great news! Thank you for doing this.

Thanks Adoxa, you mean that:

“1D–>00 server.dll 0112A3”

the server.dll still must to edit, or just edit the part1~part5 in freelancer.exe?

adoxa

The server.dll edit at 0112A3 is no longer required, but it doesn’t matter if you leave it in. The two PART 1 edits mentioned in #16 must be reversed (so 07FCE0 is 18 & 0B850E is 05).

Got the equipment (and commodity) anticheat working, just got to sort out the ship.
