Dev's Limit Breaking 101 Techniques

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.

Sure useful

Here’s a couple that may be of interest.

content.dll	12E354	0.2f = min rep needed for lawful factions to show rumors ~adoxa
content.dll	12E358	0.4f = min rep needed for unlawful factions to show rumors ~adoxa

```There's also an 0.6 after that, suggesting there may have been plans for a "really unlawful" faction.

I think there is a mistake in the Offset wiki/file of Fox:

common.dll	07637F	1.2d = formation catch up speed multiplier ~Cannon

Shouldn’t be it 1.2**f** ?

Checked it in my common.dll and I agree with Skotty.

I marked mine as useless in a bold red color while being a ghostbuster, eventually i’ve found that square, but it requires to be a dll and those offsets should be touched this way only. Better kill em.

Shooting:

common.dll 37813 E8489F0100->E911000000 allow shooting in cruise
common.dll 3A2B3 06->09 allow mine dropping in cruise
common.dll 3A011 07->09 allow firing in tradelanes
freelancer.exe 8ECE7 0.33f - navmap protect-plane against shooting (height) (set to 0 to shoot through navmap)
freelancer.exe 8ECCF 0.35f - navmap protect-plane against shooting (width) (set to 0 to shoot through navmap)

Navmap:

freelancer.exe 1D2EDC 0.4f = navmap fade in/out speed

```Btw, wasn't there a fix for this? On switching to universe map and once back with earlier zoomed in background freelancer shows a blurred large lines: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/ejl1x.png

And missed one, Adoxa got it either somewhere: content.dll A9D8E = 28b rank level limit.

Something that is missing in the wiki and fox’ file:

I take it you’re referring to mbases.ini? The prefix there has a dash appended, which is why the faction isn’t working. Here’s a patch to remove the dash, thus providing you with factions (or whatever), but requiring you to add it to all the bases.

content.dll	04B101	9090909090909090909090->5B31C05E8304E411C20800 = don't append dash to msg_id_prefix in mbases.ini PART 1 ~adoxa
content.dll	04B183	5B33C05EC3->E979FFFFFF = don't append dash to msg_id_prefix in mbases.ini PART 2 ~adoxa

Does THIS:
freelancer.exe 037ECB C74424440000007F->8944244490909090 = market files control items in stock

apply also to Ships and Weapons/Ammo ???

Well, let’s see… Apply the patch, edit market_misc.ini and change Javelin to 1, its ammo to 5 and the Stalker ammo to 0; edit market_ships.ini and change Rhino to 1. Start Freelancer, buy a Javelin and it disappears; go to the ammo, I only have 5, can’t buy more; Stalker is still available. Go to the ships, buy a Rhino, still there. Conclusion: the patch applies to weapons and ammo (but leave the item out rather than set it to 0); it does not apply to ships. Now what stopped you from doing that?

Jason needs a hug

@ adoxa
This patch limits the items in stock,
but I think it just exit the base and go back to buy items not in stock before, this is true?

@ foxUnit01
‘disable money-based rank’ is not my hack it comes from adoxa, and not “HUD: Contacts / Weapons List / Wireframe” but “Misc”.

@adoxa:
All my fault mate…
Did the test prior to ships and was wondering if I made a mistake while doing the patch… cause it worked with commodities.
I figured out that I was applying the patch on a wrong exe-path of my new modversion-files I´m currently working on. Sometimes it was working with commodities… sometimes not… switched here and there and so I was a little confused.

Thanks anyway and sorry for bothering you folks with this…

@starworld: You dare ask that after the reply I gave J.R.? How long does it take to launch and dock? And, iirc, it was already answered when the patch was first presented.

@J.R.: Well, okay then. That does explain the four question marks…

freelancer.exe 911D6 65->63 = on "NavMap not available" initially do hide some controls (part 1)
freelancer.exe 91233 EB078BCEE874030000->BB01000000EB0231DB = on "NavMap not available" initially do hide some controls (part 2)
freelancer.exe { 94652, 94666,
		 9467A, 9468E, 
		 946A2, 946B6,
		 946CA, 946DE } 6A01->5390 = on "NavMap not available" initially do hide some controls (part 3)

St02->Open NavMap: top controls visible.
Universe Map->Player Location->St02 : top controls hidden. :? Looks like bug.

@ adoxa
I do not use this hack.
And I just wanted to remind the limitation could be get around by launch and dock.
Today i found your post here

Here’s a game limit that, to my knowledge hasn’t been fixed — I wasn’t even aware of its existence:

There is a limit on where you can place stars on the Universe map The Universe Map’s usuable area is smaller than it’s visible area.

At least, I run into a left margin, and I presume there might be right, top and bottom margins too, but saw no need to test them, as the left margin is already an annoyance.

Why is this an annoyance? Well, Adoxa’s Territory plugin, especially combined with smallers stars and thinner nav lines, make it possible to create a much more interesting map! But the limit for placing stars falls well withing the visual map, and I actually planned (as in: spend my free time of last week on expanding on my nav map) quite a bunch of systems outside of the margin, of which existence I was not aware.

Example: both these systems are displayed at the same x-coordinate:

;========================{ Sirius A }
[system]
nickname = Ca01
;file =
pos = -3.00, 3.0
visit = 1
strid_name = 524308
ids_info = 526307
NavMapScale = 1
;
;========================{ Sirius B }
[system]
nickname = Ca01
;file =
pos = -2.50, 3.5
visit = 1
strid_name = 524308
ids_info = 526307
NavMapScale = 1

Does someone know what offset(s) should be changed, to expand the useable region on the Universe map?
