If the author did a horrible job making a map, make a better one. Asking about unprotecting a map for the sake of altering someone else's work? That's the whole purpose of map protection...to safeguard them from people like YOU.

If you edit his work. You BETTER get his permission first.

Ser/split/er, Super-Human, you are both warned.
