Dev's Limit Breaking 101 Techniques

Okay, give this one a try. In Freelancer.exe, offset 0xEC592, replace the five bytes 0xE8D9F9FFFF with 0x9090909090. That removes the function displaying the non-targetted brackets.

IT works
I love You !!!

Having managed to get widescreen resolution in Freelancer, I am looking for a way to edit the horizontal position of hud elements (the ones at the top middle and right and lower right middle and left for example).

I’m sure this has been asked before but I found information in the FL archive that says the positions of these elements are hardcoded into the exe, so I’m guessing this would be where offsets are required, does anyone have any information re: this?

Unfortunately, every single HUD element has it’s own position, so simply shifting the weapons info pane, for example, requires finding and changing a lot of offsets. I did a little work on this and had a somewhat long-term plan of making an interface editor program to allow the elements to be graphically rearranged and the new positions saved, but I don’t think that’s likely to happen anytime soon.

Anyway, here’s the incomplete list I compiled. The entries with ? at the end of the header means the offsets didn’t work like I thought they would. The “new” column is the value that adjusts the control for widescreen. Hope it helps.

Doing what I do, I’m particularly prone to crashes, so finally being fed up after waiting for the latest one, here’s a hexedit to disable dxdiag, which takes a long time to run.

Hi anyone know how to disable the unmount function for weapons/shields and so on completely even if player is docked ?

to

Every time.

How it looks doesnt realy interest me I only want to disable unmointing of weapons and so on

0x84->0x30 in freelancer.exe, 0x7CEC0, 0x7CEC0 = prevents mounting/unmounting of all equipment ~adoxa

If I enabled the ‘show order rep’ hack on the client side but not on the server side, might that cause the server to crash?

If so, would it crash only if you came in contact with the order (doesn’t happen in vanilla FL), or would it crash regardless?

Thank you very very much adoxa I tried it long time but all I got was crash on unmount ^^

Well I have one else question do you know how to disable ship dealer to prevent player to buy any ship’s ?

You shouldn’t even be able to unmount, since there should be no mount/unmount icon at all. No need for a hack to disable the ship dealers, ini-editing can do that (quick and dirty way is to just delete DATA\EQUIPMENT\market_ships.ini; the proper method is to remove the ship dealer room from all the bases).

Ye the unmount is disabled with your hack
But I also want to disable this Button:

or the Button Buy Ship after this dialog.
I tryed long time to find the function behind it to disable it but I dont get it

Any hint how to disable unmounting of a single equipment piece
without client crash?

ATM i m going to have a HP, which can’t be accessed
together with no good for the item, which shouldn’t
be traded or transfered to an other ship.

```The button will still appear valid, but won't have any affect.

I thought if there's no good, the equipment isn't listed? Doesn't that take care of everything? Assuming, of course, that it comes with the ship…

@adoxa
thank you very much again. That was exactly I was searching for.

@F!R
Isnt their a way to add item like engines to an ship but dont show it?
Why u dont use this way. The Item will be on the ship but its unmoutable

Viper… what are you doing? 8-)

Curiosity at full… im seriously interested in why you’d do that…

…@F!R
Isnt their a way to add item like engines to an ship but dont show it?
Why u dont use this way. The Item will be on the ship but its unmoutable

That’s the basic result, of what i described above

• but different from the engines, cause the item will just not show,
  while you are docked.

Why i am not satisfied with that?

I 'd want to allow the player to mount other weapons on that 2 ship slots
(not wanting to add some slots 4 balance reasons) but i d not want the
players to collect 10 of those guns (by buying 5 of those ships) and
mount it on an other one (also 4 balance reasons).

The 2 possible - not really - ‘sollutions’ i found:
– client crashes, when unmounting those babys cause of missing [good]
– weapons of ship can’t be changed

@F!R
Ah ok whats about to make those guns to high level like 11, (dont know if its possible to make weaponslots with an level above 10) and only to slots of the ship to this level?

@Xarian_Prime
I just want to prevent any changes on a char in some circumstances
