This is an interesting section, I never knew it was possible to ask cheat engine to do something, or in my case stop something.

I am wondering if it would be possible to ask cheat engine to make the balls value in scarface the world is yours PC to stop effecting/increasing the reputation, for some stupid reason the developers of this game has made it so when the balls value increases it also increases the reputation of the players empire, or is it possible to script how much reputation the balls has added at one time as so to see how much one value is effecting the other.

if this is the wrong place please advise instead of making mockery of people, there are so many sub forums some people don't know where's best to put something and some people have a different idea to what others might on where something goes.

thanks people. Smile

The Lua forum is for anything that likely pertains to Lua. e.g. asking Lua-related questions, changing CE's GUI, making repetitious work easier and faster, or posting/requesting Lua extensions to CE. This is not for asking a question that pertains only to a specific game and has little (if anything) to do with Lua.

If you want someone to do it for you, use Single player cheat requests. If you want to do it yourself and are asking for guidance, use General Gamehacking.


Anyway, you're probably not going to have any luck with finding a value that magically does this. I don't have the game and have no intentions of getting it, so I can't offer any specific guidance. Look at what instructions access the addresses of those two values and try to figure out which ones are relevant based on when they're run. Then, if you're lucky, you can NOP the instruction that writes to your reputation when the other value increases. If it's not that simple, look around the relevant instructions and figure out what relationship those values have with each other (i.e. if one is based on the other or it's just a coincidence). Figure out what to do next based on that relationship.

Hey thanks for the tip, so in theory it would be possible but in no way would lua scripting be needed, I think maybe I over complicated it in my mind lol, thinking scripting would stop a part of the game running correctly lol, but I didn't think to just null the address that's being a pain.

Like I said we all have different Idea's on where things should be, I posted as I thought lue scripting would help thenceforth asked in a LUA scripting based sub forum.

Thank you tot he other guy for moving it for me though and thank you very much for this reply.

I actually have no idea on how to do this, I can just about use what writes and what accesses and do pointer scans thanks to Betcha but he has been looking for it as well on my behalf, for some reason Betcha don't like Scarface either lol but I would assume Beycha tried this, he said he tried 3 hours worth of finding and stopping that particular bit of code.

By the way if anyone is interested Betcha has Made a table for Scarface and I have sort of called the empire editor if anyone wants it just say, only thing can't be changed is turf, I couldn't find that value and also after the first mission and earning some balls that decreases your rep value in cheat engine but it still works fine for me, if anyone does want it though, Betcha told me I will need to do more pointer scans as the table only works on my computer for now... Quick question does a different operating system work the same way as a different pc where pointer scans are concerned?

lol..
Around 3 hours was on player stats with finding cmp to separate everything from 0000 and more useless crap.
That would make script find values for me instead of doing long time taking pointerscans.

Never tried to search reason why ''Balls'' increase the ''Reputation'' after mission is done.
Game rewards you by giving ''Reputation'' by earned 'Balls'' in mission.
By removing that option would make no sense for ''Reputation'' at all -
Reputation would stay on what value it is till you change it manually.

Unlimited Health and Unlimited Ammo is not enough options to call it ''Betcha made table'' Very Happy
Also couple days ago i sent you Cheat Engine tutorial series, who would answer all your questions.
Looks like you ignored that and keep asking for things you could done already.

so you are saying after watching a video or two I'll magically be able to just do these in depth things, I am not quite a machine yet but I am working on it lol. Unfortunately life doesn't work like that, I would have to have watched them and re watched them a thousand times to do it thought you would know, I'm absolutely confident no one else can do that either, everyone needs practice like you have said yourself. anyway, if want to chat just pm me or whatever. Smile
