so there's something called reputation in far cry 2, there's 5/6 levels of reputation going from 0>1>2>3>4>5

now i'm not much of an expert in ce

i had a save right before getting a level increase so i just searched for 0, then 1, reloaded save, 0, 1 on and on again until i reached 1 address

but it appeared protected since changing it from 1 to 5 made it automatically revert to 1, and doing 'check what's accessing the address' or 'writing to the address' and replacing the things there with nops made it change-able but no effect

so what can i do from this point? my theory is that there is an invisible counter for reputation since when you finish missions it says "reputation increased" but another possibility is that it's tied to the amount of missions completed

or can i for example get the address of the 'reputation counter' or whatever is it that controls it by checking what accesses the reputation level address? or should i check what writes to it? what do i do from that point?

Look what accesses the value when you change it, that is the correction script, see what it compares to, that is the real value. keep doing that until you find the real value (just in case they make 2+ copies and compare each in turn).
