I would just like to know if it is possible to edit Geneforge Zone maps (e.g filling the Dry Wastes with green trees and water). Thanks for the help/ advice!

I think not..it's like..you can't edit the recipes..

But..in theory..I think you can decompile the game..then you'll be able to edit the maps..

But..mostly people will say no..

Why on earth would you want to do that? Surely the whole point of the dry wastes is that there are no trees or water???

So you can get the satisfying feeling of terraforming entire zones like a 'true Shaper'?

--------------------
"I am Barzhal, and I am here to ask you a question:
Is a man not entitled to the products of his own essence?

No, says the servile in Medab. It belongs to the oppressed.
No, says the Shaper in Terrestia. It belongs to the Shaper Council.
No, says the Trakovite in hiding. It belongs to no-one.

I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something
different. I chose the impossible. I chose… Ascension."

Last time I heard, the zone terrain, item locations, canister locations, and the number of items, were all hardcoded into the game.

Hmm... Ornks, gazers and guacamole. What kind of food would you get?

Doing so would require knowledge in computer programming. Even if you did, I'd check the license agreement.

Copyrights protect the hours of investment in creating the game. After all how would you like it on pay day if some one came along and took your paycheck? After all no one could claim sole use to the name on it.

You don't appreciate copyright?

Starman..you're a scientist..you invented a machine to end world hunger..anorexia..and scribbane depletion..and you didn't copyrighted it..then Iffy comes along..steals your machine..and copyrighted it to him..who do you think will be more happy?

I should have used a more sensible example but..meh..

That is a very foolish statement. Unfortunatly such foolishness can only be cured on his own.

What? I would actually go to him and tell him to get it copyrighted.

I wasn't paying much attention (mostly because of the drunkeness) but if I had realized it was Iffy stealing my machine or whatever then some problems would insue, but for everyone else it would be fine.

I don't even know where you live. And why would I make someone think like me? That is impossible.

I'm just telling you something. And as for copyright law, if it wasn't for that, people would be taking stuff and it would all be chaos.

And please change your shown name. It is nothing against you it is just that the name really makes me angry.
