Dev's Limit Breaking 101 Techniques

Just to give some extra info, this is essentially the far clipping plane, as adoxa also found an ini var with the same name.

If you raise the far clipping plane too much, you will get flickering issues because of z-fighting. The z-buffer loses precision quickly in the distance, therefore the larger the area covered by your clip planes, the more z-fighting (-> flickering) you will get.

I wonder, is there any possibility to prevent ships from automatically re-orienting themselves after you’ve vanilla FL’s x-y plane?

This what you want?

Thanks alot, made my day Completely other topic, but would it be possible to override the turret/weapon/torpedo limit?

I’m not sure what you’re asking. If you want more weapons, you have to modify the ship’s cmp file and its shiparch.ini entry to add hardpoints. If you want more ammo, use [Constants] MAX_PLAYER_AMMO in constants.ini. If you want separate limits for each ammo type, use this.

Thanks for the reply What I mean is that there is a limitation for the maximal number of turrets/guns/torpedoes/mines/countermeasures you can fire simultaneously. If you go over 32 guns, the game will crash to desktop. Is there any hack that could do the trick?

freelancer.exe	11D072	8C->CC = allow 64 simultaneous firings PART 1 ~adoxa
freelancer.exe	11D7C2	8C->CC = allow 64 simultaneous firings PART 2 ~adoxa

Man, you really are a genius! I’ve been looking for a fix to that problem for nearly three years now and you don’t even need a single day to find one. Thank you very, very much!

a sorley needed & long sort after hack… thanks a zillion again AdoXa 8-)

Is there any way to prevent scanners from being transferable? So that you could have scanners being visible but not buy/transfer them from one ship to another?

Sorry - not smart to give you an answer and again sorry for hijack it!
1. But similar, I made new scanner which only one ship has it (nomad fighter) and is available trough /restart command. Also it suppose to be used for rep-fixer which through playercontrol plugin I can set it as item that cant be lost/seen.
This doesn’t work! Any hint why?

2. While I’m at this thread please give me next info.

What this suppose to show me? What worth? Where?
In contact list? Cash amount?

I did make a change to file but is it correct way?

A picture (or two) is worth a thousand words.

@Aigle: A little tricky. Simple enough to test scanner instead of engine.

freelancer.exe	0808AC	0C->14 = prevent transfer of scanner (but allows engine) ~adoxa
freelancer.exe	080941	0C->14 = prevent selling of scanner (but allows engine) ~adoxa

```EngClass bypasses this test altogether, though.

@sumanuti: It shows your current worth in the reputation window, like in single player. That is the correct way.

@DwnUnder: Not very helpful when you have to register first.

Thanks

Adoxa, did you /could you make a bypass for the tractor swap when exchanging ships at a shipdealer?

It’s annoying to have to put back your own scanner and tractor when they are swapped, and its easy to forget and lose a higer class scanner or tractor in the process.

This prevents everything (engines/scanners/tractors/powerplants) from being transferred. Untested.

in combination with adoxa’s multicruise.dll i thought of a following solution: adding a parameter to the shiparch, that would deside, whether a ship can or cannot dock with a tradelane. in that way, you could e.g. make large capitals cruise faster than regular ships but therefore not to have the advantage of tradelane travel. is this possible?

MultiCruise is M0tah’s. I have “restrict ships with can_use_moors from using trade lanes” (from here) on my todo. I don’t have a clear idea how, so it can wait.

oh, my apologies to M0tah…
and thanks, adoxa. would be another rebalance of traffic^^
