Hey man, any way to reverse this? I kinda just wanna use this when I needed to like doing the puzzle etc, but now my game always show me everything on the HUD and it's messy af lol.

Hi there. Is there a pointer that will allow ship stats to be changed? Specifically stats like Handling or Speed?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Did you even try the table ? It's nearly impossible to miss.
The only thing you need to look for, is the values. The table does not tell you what the numbers are for, so just compare the ship stats to the values under "pointers/player/ship". Just remember, they will not be updated until you jump to another area(press c).

I did try the table and knew which levels to get to the ship. I just didn't know which "block of code" to look at. However, thanks for this. I was going to reply a snippy reply but you did help me out with this. It didn't occur to me to jump to another location (see, I didn't know this). I did find a value close to I'm looking for but it wasn't a whole number. I just learned that the values are rounded in the game. I went ahead and change the value and jumped to another location.

Thanks for that!

No worries. I didnt mean to be snippy...
Guess we are so used to being talked to in a toxic way, that we see any comment as a mean one.
You might also want to check out gideons table... He went a little overboard with the features... viewtopic.php?p=299168#p299168

It's togglable. You can bind it to a shortcut key by right clicking the cheat and choosing a hotkey. Then you can just press that key in game to switch the cheat on and off.

Hi, I am also looking for an update for this cheat, it is really amazing and practicle.

With the last game version (1.0.34616), the script failed with this error "The array of byte named ALWAYS_VISIBLE_ON_HUD could not be found".

I hope that will you fix the script for the last version.

Thanks for the hard work and take care.

In the ship editor section of my table there is a Massive Sensor Range Script. That does basically the same thing.

Yeah I tried that too, amazing table btw. However from what I've noticed it looks like things such as "secrets", hidden containers etc do not rely on sensor range and require the player themselves to be in close proximity, have a direct line of sight to the object or complete a puzzle to pop up on the "radar". Unless I'm mistaken, when I turned on the cheat from your table, it showed all of the regular containers, enemy ships, resource mining points etc. but didn't show some hidden things like bulletproof containers hidden inside wrecks or behind puzzles.

[Valatros]

Piling in a bit here, would also appreciate an update to the HUD item visibility script. Gideons is the equivalent of having an impossibly powerful scanner, but it doesn't show hidden or secret items, such as cloaked containers. Deciding to buy the game and play legit because of how good it is making me lose the HUD cheat is... extremely unpleasant, since the entire point of that cheat was to make it so i didn't have to wander around blind looking for all the secret items.

Edit: Uh, well, I have a working (maaaaybe? It seems to be working for me) edited version of the HUD display script, copied below. However, I have no idea how it works, and to be entirely honest I'm shocked it works because I was purely fiddling with things I don't understand while comparing master_builder and guardna's two versions, and slightly edited the array of bytes it scans for to be more accommodating of changes (yet apparently, still unique and functional. Hopefully. Functional so far!).

So hopefully that works for you! If it breaks your game, my bad, I don't know what I'm doing. If it sets your computer on fire, my bad, I don't know what I'm doing. Try with fear and trepidation!

Edit 2: Gideon made an HUD code that includes hidden objects in his latest update, and it includes a substantially lowered risk of fire (well... i assume it does). So probably don't bother with this.

Hey Master_Builder, thanks for checking!
Sadly it isnt that easy I was already using the same settings as you.
Are you using by chance any lua plugins/external tools?

Here are md5 checksums of my ES2-Win64-Shipping.pdb: b7cc9b9e0cfff97d2f52049b8e85bc30 and ES2-Win64-Shipping.exe: e902dfa8e7f82a8b3aa24644226cf56fvia md5check.

If you want to investigate this further.

My results:

MD5s:
ES2-Win64-Shipping.exe: E902DFA8E7F82A8B3AA24644226CF56F
ES2-Win64-Shipping.pdb: 0DF713A32E830A575801C2031F9F68C3

So the exe matches, but the pdb doesn't. I'm guessing this is a regional thing, not sure where you're at. Mine's from US-East.

I threw the PDB up here: [Link]

I have tested this on the latest version of the game and on V.33691.

Leveling items up (modules/weapons) to legendary only works until a certain item level. (level 16 in my case)

When the item level is 17 or higher it can no longer be made legendary, the tooltip shows the item up to superior, but when you go back to inventory the item shows as rare. (even if its level was superior to start with).

The item stars can be leveled up until superior and they remain regardless of the item rarity in the inventory. But you can't give it legendary stats any longer.
