Dev's Limit Breaking 101 Techniques

No you didn’t, I did. (Removed the author from the description; use six characters for the offset; one tab between each entry.)

anyone knows the offsets for the “high details” options some mods have?
I mean thinks like distance where Asteroids, Bases, Lanes are visible and also offset for the distance where texturedetails get reduced?

this is not an offset (except for effect textures) but LOD entries from .\data\ships\shiparch.ini and .\data\solar\solararch.ini (and any other file you have defined space objects in). they control the cmpnd parts in the cmp which refer to the 3db which then defines what texture to use where and on what mesh so in end effect both, texture and mesh are controlled by LOD.

hm in hhc mod it get definitivly turned on by memory hack.

No, they’re just modifying LOD values as FL reads them runtime. I use this method as well.

as hook or what? o.O

the two
if you don’t hack the right file, you can change the LOD on the ini, it doesn’t change anything
the hack is to set up the maximum LOD you authorize, and then you can change the ini.

it’s a maximum value if you prefer

Updated the wiki, removing the 1.0 offsets and fixing the maximum credits patch.

Whoa, who did the Wiki? It’s so organized and clean! Nice job!

regardless of what you hack, to have higher view distances you will have to increase the LOD values in the ini’s, too. for most ships seen in mods the 20000 max is far enough btw.

Requesting: ^^
maybe there’s a way to remove red npcs/solars from “Important” filter in the targets list? And group members?

@Sushi: Ozed did the hard work and I tweaked it.

@OutCast: Don’t know why you’d want to, but here they are.

0x0E->0x00 in freelancer.exe, 0xD07EB, 0xD07EB = remove hostile & group ships from important filter ~adoxa
0x13->0x00 in freelancer.exe, 0xD100F, 0xD100F = remove hostile solars from important filter ~adoxa

How can remove groupmember from important filter? This is very useful in team combat.

I didn’t do all the work just your new offset, I don’t want to take someone else’s credit, thats just wrong

Ozed.

Oops, it was tai that did the hard work.

Oh, hum, i think i have the EVE syndrome…but…

Is possible to make mission not failure when player exited the mission space?

You realize that would be bad for the server? It needs to keep track of the NPCs it spawned for the missions for as long as it wasn’t completed. It also alters NPC spawns around the mission area.

Just don’t be lazy and complete the missions you take…

i think due to the usual speed settings of some mods it is sensible to at least increase the radius you need to be around the waypoint in order to be participating in the mission.

Speaking of the hard work that you guys have put into figuring out the filters (among other things )…

…how hard would it be to give us what you know about the entire bitmap of filter settings?

I have wanted to make custom filters more than once.

For example:

• Important Filter as basis
• no group/wingmen
• with neutral solars (or all solars)

The above would make exploring for wrecks and jump holes less tedious.

Think there may be an offset for that already, plus the question was specifically DISABLE, not extend the radius.
