A while ago I played with Act_SetRep to see whether it can be used to change faction-to-faction reputations. The result was negative. This surprised me because faction-to-faction reputations are stored in save files, which may suggest the possibility for them to be changed during the storyline.

Anyone else looked into this? Did I miss something?

My thinking was you could install the plugin into dacom.ini, which would give you a random variance for each session (need to exit FL to get new values); or install into freelancer.ini, which would give you a random variance each time you load a game. This is different to price_variance, which gives you a random variance (up to a max of what you specify) every time you dock.

Aha! Can this reduce price variance abuse? And: is it suitable for MP?

Also, it eliminates the need for the points in my previous post.

@rightous:
Code:
Freelancer.exe, 37ECB,
C7 44 24 44 00 00 00 7F
-->
89 44 24 44 90 90 90 90,
market files control items in stock (MarketGood = <item nickname>, <required level>, <required rep>, <minimum>, <max in stock>, <full resale>, <price multiplier>) ~adoxa, M0tah

Is this what you're looking for? (See also here and here.)

Hm, I might be able to create a plugin to create a random variance...

Thoughts:

  1. Create a non-uniform range for the price?

  2. Avoid having to include price_multiplier for every base? (Maybe a patch suffices here?)

  3. Configurable variant of the above (for each commodity/base combination)?

@adoxa: I just confirmed this: after commenting out moors.dll I undocked from Ames dock 1 30 times in a row. After removing the comment, I got an immediate undock from dock 4. Thanks!

Random Undocking Point?

Hello everyone; after some time of absence due to RL, I'm back, with the following question:

When I undock from a station, the undocking point is always 'dock 1'. However, some mods (including Genesis) have randomized the undocking point. How come?

It might be worth noting that I am using the original No-CD Freelancer.exe, and Genesis uses a ~3100kB version of Freelancer.exe (probably the cracked version?).

This is a vanilla problem. For example near, let's say, Montezuma or Dawson or even Luxury Liner Hawaii, when an NPC created by area_trade_trader or area_trade_smuggler undocks.

Looks good. Maybe omitting the 0x prefix as in the Limit Breaking 101 wiki looks nicer?

You might wanna read this, some of it might be outdated though. XP had that nice feature that when an application crashed, it showed the crash offset in the 'Tell Microsoft about this problem' window that popped up. In these days, you have to find the crash offset using EventViewer, if I recall correctly.

Hm, I can't confirm, I can still see Aso's rings from 4000K away. Did you test Aso as well?

Thanks Whiskas for your effort. My bad, I didn't look into the old posts earlier, I found that adoxa already solved this back in 2010.

EDIT: indexed to wiki. I also saw that Ruppetthemuppet indexed adoxa's recent finds, as well as Schmackbolzens third max fps offset, nice work.

Thanks Gold_Sear!

I don't quite grasp the third part of the instructions though. That might be because I used to work with HexWorkshop, which stopped working at one point (Norton identified it as some generic virus, and it was a cracked version so I couldn't be totally sure it wasn't), and am now using HxD which is decent, but seems less versatile than HexWorkshop (I must also stress that I am not at all a hacker; I just blindly follow instructions and usually those get it done.)

freelancer.exe 96860 -112000f = -y 

With applying 112000f => 130000f (keep sign there!) limits are ~:
Code:
pos = -2.1, -2.6 
pos = -2.1, 16.75 
pos = 16.75, -2.6 
pos = 16.75, 16.75

It also affects a red arrow in system map.Result:

I don't understand the sign part (as in HxD there is not an option to 'lift out' the code at e.g. 967F1; in my recollection of HexWorkshop there was, which made such replacements a lot easier). Also "112000f" is 7 characters while these code replacements usually work with an even number.

Currently the values at those offsets are:
Code:

freelancer.exe 967F1 = 00 C0 DA 47
freelancer.exe 96816 = 00 C0 DA C7
freelancer.exe 9683B = 00 C0 DA 47
freelancer.exe 96860 = 00 C0 DA C7


Maybe you could talk me through it? (I've done the 1st and 2nd parts already.)


Also, back at the day (when the youtube demo still worked) I was hugely impressed with the multiverse plugin but I decided not to use it; I've already grown too fond of my 2D solution.

Moonhead - these are floats, not bytes. That is, 112000f looks in plain code as 00 C0 DA 47. Same for -112000, that looks like 00 C0 DA C7 in plain code, where the last bit is swapped to apply sign.

@Moonhead: I asked this question back in 2015, answered by WhiskasTM.

EDIT: it is also shown in the wiki here.

Thanks for bringing it into attention tho... this should make it easier to find.

EDIT2: you might want to take a look at WhiskasTMs multiuniverse plugin (you already posted in this thread, but in case you forgot)
