Dev's Limit Breaking 101 Techniques

In the NPC Behaviour section

500i content.dll 06C470 Dev max range at which NPCs will scan your cargo
2500f content.dll 06C717 Dev max range at which NPCs will initiate scan of your cargo

When I say scanner range, I mean the range at which the player can see NPCs, not the other way around! I’ve adjusted a few offsets, but it unfortunately appears to be capped in multiplayer and I’ve not had any luck raising it past that point.

I changed [c]ge_s_scanner_01[/c] to [c]range = 25000[/c] and increased [c]086AEC/F0[/c] to 49e6. With two players 7K apart I also saw NPCs at 7K (and briefly one player saw an NPC at 21K).

Well this is very strange, these offsets don’t seem to change the MP behaviour at all for me! It’s 100% the scanner. If I move out of range and back, the NPCs persist at least out to 12-14k. Could there be another value (not scanner range, that’s set to 10,000!) that’s capping this?

Solved this! The offsets were the correct ones, but were being overridden by an FLHook plugin (that rightly shouldn’t have been touching them, given it’s purpose!) Many thanks for the help.

Sup folk, I would like to contribute to the list

@Venemon Thanks for these! I’ve added them to the Limit Breaking wiki page

On question though, where is atiumdag.dll located? It’s not included with Freelancer, assuming this is a system dll the game can read when dropped into the EXE folder?

sup
atiumdag is located within system files, it is an AMD related file that have access to Directx functions, you can edit its memory while game is running, I didn’t try moving it into game
files, dont think it will work.

instead of doing those you can add in dacom.ini
[RenderPipeline]
fillmode = 2
It will launch the game as Wireframe (Knowledge base doesn’t have this information in there)

atiumdag.dll
“file v8.14.10.761. It is for fixing rendering issues in games with AMD/ATI GPUs.”

"Group member's nav position refreshes every second"

 server.dll A551

@Venemon Damn dude, these are great! I’ve added them to the relevant Limit Breaking categories. Thanks a ton for finding these, I will likely get quite a bit of use out of the group navmap one.

Common.dll+4CED4
"Guided projectiles wont give up tracking a target"
75 09 -> 90 90

@Venemon Nice find! I’ve added this one to the list

Just tried this, works well i have to say. Nice find

offsets were bad, sorry for spamming folk xd

bad offset

disregard my two posts above and sorry for spamming
I thought they were working well until I found an epic bug with docking behaviour
but I cant replicate it now, if someone can test it and confirm this offset is fine
it would be appreciated
(by logic, it just removes seperation between a player and a NPC, which they use thrusters)

common.dll+763B6
"Formation members will use their thrusters"
