Thats ok.
If you have the map_C Tools try copying the tools and two map files into a sub-folder to work on.
You need map_c.tga and map_c.tga_table in your sub-folder
Run compose.bat
This creates a greyscale image of your coastline and rivers.
If you have a basic knowledge and access to photoshop, gimp, or similar image editors you will see that it is easy to make small adjustments to the coast with a paintbrush tool.
Use transform.bat followed by disect.bat to make your new map_c.tga and map_c.tga_table
I would rename these files something like map_c001.tga and map_c001.tga_table
and change the entry load.ini to ColorMap = map_c001.tga
This helps you to keep track of your changes.
You can do this to the actors.static as well. Rename it actors_001.static and change the reference in load.ini to match
Keeping track of your changes becomes important especially if you make a mistake and want to backtrack.
