Istvan, the map to change for errasing rivers is map_c.tga (Neil Lowe's breakthrough). The tiny black strips are rivers. Pasting white color over them will do the job. The problem is that a certain river is not shown from start to end in one piece but rather in portions, some portion say in second horisontal strip, maybe the next portion in third horisontal strip, maybe the next in the same third horisontal strip etc. So if you want to delete only a certain river you have to identify on map_c the different portions of that river, and that can be not so easy depending on how many other rivers are on the map. Deleting all rivers is much easier of course.
Generally the strips are starting north and west and going east and south. River portions in the north are in the upper part of the map_c tga for example. Just take a couple of maps and try to identify rivers or coasts or island portions and you'll see the rule.
Talking about water it might be possible maybe to enlarge certain islands, but only to a LIMITED extent. In the same way painting more white. But then you need also paint correspondingly the map_T.tga such that the freshly white painted regions are filled with land textures.
