This is a preliminary list of games that do not yet have ACE modules, coupled with explanations where appropriate. It is intended to provide a starting point for developers and as a means of eliciting further comment from users.
If there are games not listed here that you think would be appropriate for an ACE module, please contact the author of ACE (see the "Read Me" document for contact information).
The following games cannot currently be edited with ACE. In many cases, encryption et. al. is deliberately designed to prevent save game editing. This is not necessarily malicious, as shareware games often need to protect save game data as part of the shareware registration process.
• Carmageddon: Checksum
• Exile series (Exile, Exile II, Exile III): Encryption
• MacBOSS: Encryption and a save game validity check linked to the preferences
• Might & Magic IV - Worlds of Xeen: Encryption?
• Prince of Destruction: Checksum
• TaskMaker, Tomb of the TaskMaker: Encryption, compression.
These games have not yet been thoroughly studied to determine if they could be edited, or will be added at a later date:
• Civilisation: ACE cannot fully support this file format yet.
• Civilisation II: Not owned
• Dungeon Master 2: Documentation warns against editing.
• Master of Orion II: Not owned
• Myth, Myth II: No information on save game format
• Nethergate: Has it's own character editor, so there is no point in making one for ACE (?)
• Spaceward Ho: File format not yet fully understood (small module on web site)
• Sword Dream, Sword Dream 3D: Strings affect record size.
• Tomb Raider Gold, Tomb Raider II: Not owned (do they have built-in cheats anyway?)
• Warlords: Some offset data known, but ACE cannot yet fully deal with file structure.
