I don't really know but the possability is there. Obviously the code has been opened. Anything that has been unlocked can be locked in a similiar manner. From what i have seen the code/lock seems to be like a door lock and once inside, the game can be changed pretty easily. The "lock" doesn't extend throughout the game engine. Change that begining lock to something else and people will have to break into it all over to cheat on-line. That will keep the on-liners happy which I am all for. As long as the off-liners can modify the game to best suit there needs I don't mind if there is a basic simple on-line version.

The problem is that the on-liners have so alienated the mod community with all their petty, childish insults that they could care less by now to do anything for them.
