Dev's Limit Breaking 101 Techniques

In searching for the scale, I also discovered the ability to rotate the preview.

:lol: yes just left or right mouse click on the preview.

freelancer.exe 0B8BAB 01->00 = scale ship to fill the preview ~adoxa

works! thank you.

Works great. Thank u so much…. again !

:lol: yes just left or right mouse click on the preview.

:oops: Can’t believe I never tried that (or maybe I did long ago and forgot about it). Anyway, the rotation I found happens continuously, so I’ve updated it to make that clearer. I’ve also added the initial values.

Cool!

@adoxa “scale ship to fill the preview” not work for the preview playership

Updated.

Always advancing the cause, thanks adoxa

This is good, thank you

Thank you Adoxa!

Okay, here’s a fun one.

Does anyone have an idea of how to decrease the width of the blue lines drawn on the universe map between connected systems? We’ve got a bunch of systems in Broken Bonds that are fairly close together and as a result the big thick blue lines cover up our nice shiny universe map background.

Thanks,
–Troy

freelancer.exe	0974C9	0.005f = width of system connection line ~adoxa
freelancer.exe	097501	00 = red component of system connection line ~adoxa
freelancer.exe	097506	40 = green component of system connection line ~adoxa
freelancer.exe	09750B	80 = blue component of system connection line ~adoxa
freelancer.exe	097510	FF = alpha component of system connection line ~adoxa

You’re my favouritest person ever, adoxa. I aspire to have FL disassembly/hacking skills like yours.

Broken Bonds thanks you for your awesomeness.

EDIT: Now if only I could get the “star” images to remain at full size….

freelancer.exe	0915F4	2000i = size range of universe map stars ~adoxa
freelancer.exe	091605	3000i = minimum size of universe map stars ~adoxa
freelancer.exe	0916F2	03C2C1F80F->B80i000000 = color of universe map stars (i=0-6 for RGBCMYW) ~adoxa
freelancer.exe	0916FE	8403->0000 = prevent universe map stars from pulsing PART 1 ~adoxa
freelancer.exe	09173A	C1F80F->83C8FF = prevent universe map stars from pulsing PART 2 ~adoxa
freelancer.exe	0A1727	D8642410->90909090 = prevent universe map stars from blinking ~adoxa

Where do I go about donating to your beer fund, man?

EDIT: Definitely don’t have 2000i or 3000i at those offsets – looks like 0i and 4096i respectively.

I believe adoxa uses the official No-CD for all of his offsets instead of the cracked one. Some of the offsets differ.

The cracked one has junk code in between functions (the official one has NOPs - the 90 bytes you’ll see in some edits) plus the protection code itself (making it 800k bigger), but the actual code is the same.

C:\Games\Freelancer\EXE>d/1 {,j:\Crack\}freelancer.exe

Could it be that you’ve already got a patched star size? Here’s some surrounding bytes:

0915f0  ff d5 69 c0 d0 07 00 00 99 81 e2 ff 7f 00 00 03
091600  c2 c1 f8 0f 05 b8 0b 00 00 89 44 24 20 8b 06 c7
```d0 07 is 2000i (you should have 00 00) and b8 0b is 3000i (you should have 00 10).

I find the good value in my exe. (not tested)

freelancer.exe 0915F4 2000i

freelancer.exe 091605 3000i

Where does one get the ‘official’ No-CD version?

Greetings J.R.

Thanks.
I’ve always used the cracked version found on some download sites like gamecxxxworld and the hex values were always there where the 101 wiki indicated. I’ll keep this handy as well.
