Make the following changes to freelancer.exe (everything is hex).

Offset: new bytes   [ old bytes ]
0dad6d: 00 00 00 00 [ 42 60 65 3c ] # disable nanobot button
0dadb4: 00 00 00 00 [ 96 43 0b 3d ] # remove nanobot count
0dae0b: 00 00 00 00 [ 42 60 65 3c ] # disable battery button
0dae87: 00 00 00 00 [ 96 43 0b 3d ] # remove battery count
1d8690: 00          [ 69 ]          # remove shield icon
1d86e0: 00          [ 69 ]          # remove wrench icon

With your undoubted knowledge in this area adoxa, have you completely decompiled the exe files and dll’s to know so much? I mean this kindly not as a barb either but between you and Motah, there’s not much you guys miss lol

Thank you so much mate!

@Gibbon: This type of thing isn’t that hard to find, since it’s all nicely named (like “HudRepairButton” and “BatteryCountText”). Those four zeros just give them a width of zero, rendering them unusable.

Is there a resources.dll entry for the counts, too?

I’m not sure what you mean. The counts are just numbers, so there’s no need for a resource string.

In resources.dll there are some entries like %s System, %s Space and I thought, maybe there is a similar %abc thing for these counts so it would be possible to insert custom text instead of deleting the nanobot / shield battery counts.

Oh, okay. Well, there are for some, but not for those.

Alright thank you very much for your help Adoxa!

Hey
Some ppl asked me for an “color-blind” patch, especially the targetcross.

Is there a .exe hack avaible and is this hack secure?

mfg

It’s just a matter of changing colors? That’s just an interface change like any other reskinning.

and which? I dont found any file with an Red Cross

mfg

Tried cursors.txm ?

nothing, I already looked in nearly all files.

Btw for understanding: i mean this

First, hey, how to enter “²” in FL?

Second, if you just want to coloring the Cursor, you can edit mouse.ini

Alt Gr+2 on a german keyboard

And mouse.ini doesnt work, it just modify your curser. (those who are written in the curser.txm)

anyone know how to disable this button:

Not work? try this:

[Cursor]
nickname = cross
anim = cross, 1, 0
hotspot = 32, 32
blend = 4
spin = 0
scale = 0.400000
color = 255, 128, 0, 255
;color = 135, 195, 224, 255

color = R, G, B, Opacity
