It’s also work on server for anti cheat? I mean i already did this hack for my mod but i suppose it only work for gentleman which never cheat any bit. Just like the You need more friendly to buy this item function.

My mod is on the test, so no any anti cheat on my test server, and I think that is not anti cheat problem.

I think the problem is hex edit, its need same level to buy item or ship like:

level 1 can buy level 1 limit of ship, but if your level > 1, you can’t buy any ship, because your level not equal 1.

Sorry again for my bad English, if you don’t know what I mean.

Ps. Chinese language “你个混蛋” = English language “you are bastard”.

OK, first, i starting to know the different mean of that language between P.R.C and Taiwan. Please forgave me, and i mean no offend, just want to play a joke or something.

And back to the topic, i know a rule there between programmers: Never trust user’s input. You know, the ini file is a kind of input anyway, because you never know who is the gentleman or not.

So, on my test, in 5 years ago, the You need more friendly to buy this item only work in clientside which server never do any check on it. So, a setting in same file and same line, i still can’t trust it.

BUT, for anti waste your time: I say above because - you may got it - i’m not test it yet. so i just be lazy and want a answer…and do nothing myself…and i don’t like this… So if you don’t want to test it and share the result, i will do the test myself and share it.

ANYWAY, it’s good to see a old face there in same countr…er…regio…er…continent making a new fresh mod. And good luck.

Sorry, I just don’t know what to tell you. Using vanilla (JFLP) and solo multiplayer, I created a character. Okay, I can’t buy any ships, so re-select the character. Right, now I need to be level 4 to buy the Startracker. Logout, hack the character to level 10, login, now I can buy it. (But buy a piece of equipment to reset level to 1 and I can still buy it. Oh well. Re-selecting the character again prevents it.)

As for an anti-cheat, I might be able to come up with something, but I don’t know when…

@NeXoSE:

Never mind, I know what you mean, but sound like you know me, may I can ask what’s your name?

@Adoxa:

Let me say that the detailed point:

I’m make a mod, when a new player use this mod and first time login to the mod server, he need to buy a new ship and equipment, in my mod setting, buy those items need level and friendly.

I’m setting the ship to buy limit is level 1, and setting the equipment to buy of friendly is 0.3.

When a new player login my mod server and create a new character, the character has level 23 and 0.8 of friendly to the sale items faction, so he can buy a ship and equipment as well.

But after when I do those hex edit, then login my mod server and create a new character, I find that I can’t buy anything, because the game tell me I need have more then high level and more friendly to buy item, even my level and friendly higher the mod setting.

I was try to re-login many times and the game still tell me I need have more then high level and more friendly to buy item, so I don’t know where is the problem.

When I restoration those hex edit, those problem was disappear, I can buy any ship and equipment item with no problem.

So I doubt the level must be equal to the setting to the correct implementation, if player of level greater than the setting level will appear above problem?

Sorry for my bad English.

The server.dll edit must be applied to the server, not the client. Looking at the original post shows the server will return -1 for your level, which would explain why it’s not working.

OK, my own test is over, and result is: This hack is not be watched by anticheat. As adoxa already pointed out.

(Hey, adoxa, you back. long time no see, how are you doing? people rumoring your ISP got problems LOL)

The ship rank limit will NOT be check by server anti cheats, and Rank limit setting is work only local.

So, please don’t make Buy Ship Rank Limit as a Important Balancing Limit in your mod if you don’t want hurt gentlemans by add something that make villain cheaters lives better than them.

Change flserver.exe of font color:

0000F824: 87 C3 E0 -> any what you want of RGB color code, like FF FF FF will change it to white.(part 1)

0000F9B1: 87 C3 E0 -> any what you want of RGB color code, like FF FF FF will change it to white.(part 2)

Still no luck to find how to change the freelancer.exe of font color (I mean that, in game of server info etc).

Which font colour exactly?

Hasn’t all of this already been done?

Search for the colour hex codes, to find the blue.

Does anyone have a hack that would narrow the window of the player jumpin point when using jumpgates/jump holes?

Right now a player spawns at a random point within +/- 550m of the jumpin point when jumping into a system. I’d like to narrow that window to 50m, or even tighter for a specific jump. I’m going to guess it’s an all or nothing deal, i.e. if you do it for one it will work that way for all, but I can deal with that.

Up
guys no one has found it?

server.dll	0231BF	-350f = jump gate/hole z-axis entry point adjustment ~adoxa
server.dll	0876C0	500d = jump gate/hole x- & y-axis entry point adjustment ~adoxa

Is this an all or nothing ‘fix’ or can it be tied to the jump_out_hp?

In other words, changing this entry in server.dll would make the jump out points tighter across the board, ie. every jumpgate, every jumphole, etc. I can deal with that, it’s better than what we have now.

It would be cool though to have it tied to the jump_out_hp for even a specific hole. My purpose for this would be to have players be able to jump INSIDE the lair core instead of possibly inside but more probably outside.

can`t be a ini entry from a plugin ?

adoxa thank you! thank you! thank you!

Works like charm!
Again, thanks adoxa.

Jump Out Point allows each [Object] to have its own parameters (via a separate file, not within the [Object]).
