Is it possible to make changes to the map while the game is running?

For example, if a player were to stand on a mountain type tile, could the mobs view be expanded? Or if they were to be in a forested area, could the view be decreased, or turned off temporarily?

You want to edit world vars at runtime? You can do it, but not all vars can be changed at runtime. For example, you can't change world.view var, but if you want to change the view at runtime, you can use a workaround: client.view. It does exactly the same, but it will only change the view of one person, and it is often a desired result.
