Is it possible to enable muzzle flashes (flash_particle_name) in cockpit view?

Is it possible to enable muzzle flashes (flash_particle_name) in cockpit view?

It’s works. Open DATA\cameras.ini and change znear parameter in cockpit camera. (for example, set znear = 0)

0x27ADCA Freelancer.exe 1c Filter out incompatible builds on server list by default

Thought some people may find that useful.

How do I implement this in my freelancer.exe ?
With the hex-editor ?
Tried it and coudn´t find a “offset” or am I totally on the wrong path ?

Help would be very welcome

yes, use a hex editor - i am using pspad for everything editing related, pretty good and freeware: http://www.pspad.com/en/

just search for 27ADCA (the lines are alway starting at zero, going into the line will lead you to Hex A) after you openend the freelancer.exe with it or your prefered Hex Editor and overwrite the current value with the one from FF.

THx mate… but it doesn´t work out… maybe its because i use the german version of Freelancer.exe ???
Couldn´t find any offset with that specific number nor any other “text” or HEX similar.

Any help would be welcome to solve this problem…
Greetings J.R.

yw,

i don’t know anything about possible differences between the german and english freelancer.exe versions, sorry.

The picture shows how you need to do it - just in case.

THX for your patients again mate… gonna try this again with pspad…
I think it will work out then … I still hope so.

Nope… no way to do this hack with my version of freelancer.exe !!!
The file doesn´t have any offset higher than 21E… !!!
Seems to be different to other exe´s.

You’re not using the No-CD EXE, are you?

It’s definately different since even the No CD version goes to 0x002dde03

My point is that the normal uncracked version won’t work. None of the offsets are compatible with it, since that EXE is packed/encrypted.

You need the no-CD to do hex hacks.

Yes… although my Freelancer Version is a regular bought Version.
It doesn´t require a CD to play !!!
Strange that other offset-hacks worked fine …

Is there a way for you to find that offset in my version ?
If u don´t mind I would send it to you via e-mail…

Greetings

I wouldn’t mind a copy, either, if that’s all right.

Here it is: ~

/edit:

We actually have it already in our download section, however it is marked as the no-cd patch. I’ve corrected the name and description since this is infact the original no-cd exe (coming from Microsoft/DA): http://the-starport.net/freelancer/download/singlefile.php?cid=1&lid=2649

Ah, I see. That download is the never-protected exe; the offset FF supplied is for the cracked exe that still has the protection code (possibly he’s taken the memory offset, subtracted 0x400000 to make it a file offset, but it’s BSS data that’s not actually present in the file). Try this instead:

0x1628F4 Freelancer.exe 48->50 Filter out incompatible builds on server list by default

Oh. the mighty adoxa !!!

Thx for the replys… everyone of u !!!

@adoxa: If u still want a copy of my offical german-no-cd.exe I´ll send it to u with best regards
BTW… LOTS of your dlls and hacks found place in my Mod and now I am glad to credit u in several IDS of it. Nice to see u mate !

I´ll try this hack and will report in later.

Thx again

@adoxa: Aye, we’re using the cracked EXE and apply all the hacks in memory, so I just found the offset that worked for that case scenario.
