Need help with lake

[GodlyMoose]

Alright I've started a map, I'm going to be making a medium sized lake, but enough about the details of it. Here's my problem: I want to make the lake look realistic, and just putting water cliffs doesn't look good, I also don't want to make a rectangle then just ramp up the sides, I want to make it organic looking. But thing is I started the map with initiative cliff level at 2, and water level at none. I did this because I didn't think I was going to need to the lake. So now I need to know if there's a way I can do this with out having to start a new map, because well, I've gotten pretty far in it already. And thanks in advance for the help!

Target every doodad/unit on the map by pressing down the left mouse wheel in one corner of the map to the other, and when you got everything marked you press Ctrl+X, make a new map with same size but with Shallow Water and then paste it there.

Only solution I can come up with.

1. Get the MiscData.txt File from the Sticky (I think) in this board (Implementation details included I think, otherwise just put it in you UI Folder)

2. Put shallow/deep water in your map where you want the lake to be

3. Then cover it up by using "Increase 1/2" so that it is at the level before the shallow/deep water was there

4. Go to (I think) Advanced | Enforce Water Height Limits and click it (I think it should be uncheckmarked)

5. Finally, lower the area with the deep/shallow water to have smooth and perfect water!

I don't have a UI folder. : /

edit: Nevermind, I just used grimoire with WEU, and I get the best of both worlds.

You might also want to try INfraNe's marvelous Water Plane Doodad.

It is muuchh better than the regular wc3 water and it is easy to configure + place.
