Dev's Limit Breaking 101 Techniques

M1C

return 200;

This looks like the max-value, is it increasable?

What, 200 frames per second not enough?

common.dll	01A74C	200f = maximum FPS PART 1 ~adoxa
common.dll	01A892	2CB239->0x4CA727 = maximum FPS PART 2 ~adoxa

07/14/10:
– Added adoxa’s radiation offsets for CloakingDevices
– Added adoxa’s repair offsets for items with ids_name = 0
– Completely reformatted the list, axing the 1.0 offsets and removing the 0x before every hex value to make the list more efficient

Sorry it took so long to do this, things have been busy as of late - I’ve probably missed recent other hacks as well. I’ll take a look around later.

Edit: lol, one right on this page

foxUnit01

Updated the wiki in full. All new offsets were added, organization was overhauled to match the list, and ConTEXT screwed up the little arrow symbol.

Some of the hex-overwrite hacks were really really long, and I wasn’t sure what to do about them other than break them up into multiple lines; I’ll leave that for someone more wiki-experienced to figure out.

nice job

– Indexed adoxa’s NPC scanner (enables CM usage) offset
– Indexed adoxa’s wireframe flashing fix for hit_pts = 0 items
Committed these to the wiki as well.

Edit: Oops forgot the maximum FPS offset, that’s in there too

1.1 content.dll c2946 5000 longint = distance from the player below wich npc spawning at tradelane ring is rejected(spawning is transfered to the next ring)~Vital

@Fox: Here’s a reprint of a few you haven’t indexed. I haven’t included the wireframe equipment one.

common.dll	0E698E	7C->EB = some planets keep on spinning ~adoxa

freelancer.exe	1D8D08	1500f = maximum distance to initiate trade ~adoxa

common.dll	0D670F	C644243001->E947FFFFFF = suns will honor visit flag ~adoxa

foxUnit01

Thanks, I’ll put those in. I was bookmarking posts containing offsets for a while, but now that bookmark tab is huge and needs to be cleaned, so I lose track pretty easily.

Edit: Done. Now to resist heating up pizza instead of going to sleep; it’s almost 5AM after all…

adoxa

Yeah, I’ve started keeping them myself, so I don’t have to go searching before you index.

Heh, your almost 5am is my almost 7pm. It’s now just shy of 2am here, and I’m off to bed.

For those who don’t use FLHook, I think this should be added to the list:

server.dll 3A068 8b = maximum group size PART 1  ~Unknown

server.dll 3A46E 8b = maximum group size PART 2 ~Unknown

I found the offsets in FLHook’s hook.h.

I have a friend over in Melbourne I communicate with fairly regularly. YOU’RE FROM THE FUTURE.

And, uhh, right, I’ll get those group offsets in the list.

Is there a way to aktivate the collisiondetection on Server for NPCs and Loot and so on?

Well, I don’t know about the veracity of this method, but here’s a patch that disables turning collision detection off (for everything). If it works (or even if it doesn’t), I’ll at least have a starting point, but it’ll be quite some time before I have a proper look.

common.dll	0258EB	8B4C24086A0151->6A016A01909090 = always enable collisions ~adoxa

Syd

doesn’t work for me
But its not important any more, the soccer Worldcup is over^^

btw. the FPS hack works for me, but I would not recommend it for SP. (It speed up FL)

adoxa

Well, I’m still curious, so if you’d like to try a couple more tests… Note: apply these separately, to see which one (if any) has the effect.

common.dll	021542	C4->00 = enable_collisions always true

common.dll	04D558	8A442438->B0019090 = enable_collisions_r always true
common.dll	04D6A6	8B7C2444->31FF4790 = part of above

```(The first patch was for SetCollisionState.)

Huhu in newest hhc mod they added the roll feature with your hack.
But now their is a bug that sometimes after you login or undock you have to press the key to activate roll or you are not able to fly in proper mouseflight. Maybe you know a way to fix it, my first idea was to make a hack to turn roll always on so I ask for such an hack

I also am looking for the dockpoint radius of tradelanes, since it is way too small for bigger ships.

? Offline

I’m after this one as well

foxUnit01

Thanks guys, I’ll get the missing Waypoint ones in. Sorry I haven’t been around much, just been busy.

Edit: I’ve added adoxa’s turret view steering fix and the waypoint offsets to the list.
