Good evening, old friends and perhaps soon-to-be new ones.

So, since I last saw this thread it has about tripled in length, and from what I gather some of the wiki page is out of date although there seems to be an effort of gathering and recovering all the offsets found in the recent years.
The particular one I am looking for seems to either not been found or not to be recoverable by search parameters I managed to intuit, so here goes.

I noticed at a velocity of about 1200 m/s and higher effects like space dust no longer render. I thought this was a matter of the ale, so I went in there and started coding away. Increasing emitter size, making effect alpha and size time-independent seemed, while otherwise making expected changes, not to break through what hitherto seemed to be an emergent limit. So my modder-senses tell me it must be hardcoded given that parameter any of the ini code seems to refer to is responsible.
Does anybody know this offset? And if it hasn't been found, would someone versed with the appropriate tools and know-how kindly have a look for it?
And while we're at it, what is responsible for the shaking during a system jump? it happens in both the target and the origin system irrespective of the properties of the tunnel. Is there perhaps a multiplier for that?
Many thanks!

I expanded Manhattan's atmosphere dust and changed cruise speed to 2500 m/s and that still seemed to be rendered.



(The original value is at 1D1F04, but that is used by other functions, so this moves it to 103F3C.)

Hmm, weird, the regular motion dust disappears completely. Maybe it is something in the ale after all, I shall compare it thusly with the atmosphere dust. Thanks for now...

So many thanks! Still baffled how you do it but aren't we lucky to have you *goes off to bother someone else with his happiness*

Since this would be usable for cheating, there will be no answer to this question. Any answer will be summarily deleted.

I don't care what you think, no answer will be allowed. I would recommend you don't try to argue any further.

Considering weapon_equip.ini can be modified for cheating, then we don't have to talk about it too... And about FreeLancer modding. Don't be disappointed but this is strange.

If he modified any type of files, then, if he goes on a server, the flhook anticheat do the job very well, that's really effective, tested many times with a few players. A server owner have to protect his playground against cheaters.

Why not have a try on this, the FL modding is an so vast and interesting subject

When i'm here i want to thank all the people on this topic, it helped me a lot from the past !

weapon_equip.ini cheats are easy to detect
flhook, which should be running in every server meanwhile can detect them

other changes are not that easy to detect and it would be very hard for server admins to observe every file for possible changes

Im not saying that it is impossible since there clearly are methods to get that done but that would require all server owners to have alot of knowledge.
