No one other than Glenn Andreas has that power, unfortunately.

Well, if you're a good hacker/programmer its possible but you might seriously screw up the game so I wouldn't recommend it.

Talos did something with graphics in ResEdit. I don't have ResEdit so I may be wrong, but isn't is possible to make a patch with deep water with ResEdit?

With war there is great amounts of death. Men and women make themselves known, doing dangerous feats in their attempt to become heroes.
Some succeed, some don't...

Hmmm....., I don't know too much about ResEdit, but I am fairly certain you wouldn't be able to change something like that.....the pictures in question are stored in thingies that you open....I know that much.

And so the problem remained; lots of people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches. Many were increasingly of the opinion that they had all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that the trees had been a bad move and that no one should ever have left the oceans. - Douglass Adams

It is theoretically possible to pull it off with a data fork editor, but would be very difficult. A good patch would involve altering tile placement in many places on many maps, and potentially adding a whole new type of tile, with its own properties. Since the data fork looks like gibberish without some kind of editor specifically designed for the task at hand(one doesn't exist), it would be virtually impossible to do that sort of thing.

Creating the 3D cursors plug was simple, I just went in and changed some 'crsr' resources. However, maps are stored in the data fork, which is not easily understood. At all. Also, I doubt a tile for 'deep water' exists, nor even the properties in the code itself to make something like fishing work. So you're out of luck.
