Having some problems with "smooth rivers"

[Kitt]

Alright, i used the technique, described by some of our very awsome and knowledgable people on these boards, to create smooth rivers.

I made a 32x32 map, set it to all shallows, raised the level by one then resized the map to my likeing.

I'm now running into an issue. I can't make rivers anywhere else accept the level that water was origonally placed on. What i want is to make a river flow over a cliff, but whenever i place water higher up, it digs all the way to the water layer. And, obviously, to use the blue tool lowering method, i have to go all the way to that layer to get water.

Does anyone know of a way to get this to work? I fear i may have to completely redo my map... which is not good, considering the work i've put into it so far *~*

Thanks in advance for help!

Make sure you got to the very edges of the map, or it wont spread across it when u increase the size. Also try toggling the 'Enforce water hieght limits'

Alright, i seem to ahve found a work around. If you recheck "enforce water hieght limits", place a 1x1 tile of water, then place a second tile beside your 1x1 (but on the higher up part of land, not lowered down) it will place without diggerin so deep. then you simply re-raise the first part you laid, and continue to build off of your higher up part of water.

Than, ocne you've goten all that laid, mark it off with some out of bounds, raise it all again, then use the blue lower tool to make your river as normal.

A bit of work, but should work out fine.

Mrow.
