Savgame files to remove Level 2 limit in Demo

I DID IT! I registered on these forums just to tell y'all about it.

I removed the lvl 2 limit by putting in large negative ammounts of cargo in the hold, so now you are WORTHLESS!

As a side-effect to this you have infinite cargo, but you can NOT buy ships.

However I made 3 save games, and each one has each ship in it. So just pick the savegame of the ship you want and viola!

Have fun!

Uhhh, thanks, I guess, for making me a poor man

Post Sun Feb 23, 2003 2:50 pm

Well it's GOOD that you're a poor man! However you still have (Somewhere around $6,000) and can get money in these, it's just that you are worthless.

Since the game calculates your worth to level you up to lvl 2, since it is negative (Somewhere around -$400,000) you will never level up, thus never be kicked from the game!

Good going sir!

This should ease the pain until the full version comes out!

Silly,

It is just a demo and you are going to have to start all over again with the full version anyway. What is the big deal with having to play again in the demo? The purpose to play the demo is to get a feel for the game and practice the controls until the full version is released. You could just not sell any more when you are close to your level and fly around to your heart's content? But sence I do not have the demo...I could be missing something. If that is the case..I apologize ahead of time.

Thanks alot I have played till lv2 3 times now

ps. this also shows why its a good idea for MP savegames to be on the server

Great. Need to test those savegames!

I have noticed a problem that I havent seen without those save games. The loot button stops appearing and if you try targeting the loot and tractoring it manualy it says tractor failed.

Post Sun Feb 23, 2003 5:31 pm

I think it depends on what you're tractoring...

Like if it is commodities, I think it might not tractor it in since you have -10,000 of a commodity in your hold it won't let you get any more.


I haven't been able to tractor in any commodities, but everything else has been fine. So if you like to mine or be a lane pirate and raid trade vessles, you might be out of luck with these saves. Though I think you can still trade because I think you can still buy commodities, but you just can't pick any more up.

Doesn't matter TOO much, you don't get much money from the comodities in the demo anyway...

BTW, I use the "Tractor All Nearby Loot" hotkey, so you might want to try that too if you're having trouble with the button appearing. But I still don't think it will tractor in any more commodities...

How did you edit the .fl?

Post Sun Feb 23, 2003 7:20 pm

Well, first I tried editing it directly but I think it is heavily encrypted because I didn't get anywhere trying it that way.

Then I traced value changes WHILE the game was running and changed them that way and saved it.


So I didn't actually edit the save files themselves, but I altered the values in the memory.

What happens if you up the level beyond 2?

Post Sun Feb 23, 2003 8:09 pm

After level 2 the demo ends and you have to start a new game

Post Sun Feb 23, 2003 8:12 pm

Right, but I mean, have you tried just skipping to level 3? Was just wondering if DA set the "stop demo" function to run if the level = 2, and not >= 2.
