[0.75][BUG] Waterfall problems...(A fix included)

I noticed with the new patch that you've updated how things sit by the cliffs including the particle effects. Thus, we have this picture problem with the waterfall

The particle effects are not displaying correctly.

I did spend some time and produced this new waterfall. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/75549875/Fallen%20Enchantress/Waterfall/LHversion/River_CliffEnd.zip

I included the file for the developers... not necessarily to mod the game at this point. I'm sure at some point they may redesign the cliff-end tile.

For those that need the fix, then file goes in the "...\english\data\coretiles\rivers" folder. The shadow in the "...\gfx\shadows\" folder.

Thanks... I don't want to step on any toes at stardock. They have done some amazing work over there and the fix here is just a temporary fix. If you see there is a gap where the waterfall is and the edge of the stones in both pictures, that needs to be closed in, maybe I'll close it in further and make it look a little better.

One major issue that I haven't brought up with the fix is that they also fixed how particles update. So my fix although looks nice, if somebody casts raise land near the waterfall the particles effects all look terrible in the update. So that leaves a poor choice of not having particle effects or terrible particle effects when people cast raise land next to it. I can send pictures of what I mean to stardock if they would like, but I'm sure they already know full well these problems.

Alright... so I made a newer version of a waterfall fix, cause it's fun creating stuff in the workshop and tweaking the looks of things. I noticed another problem with shadowing around the waterfall here, namely it doesn't look right or work as intended. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/75549875/Fallen%20Enchantress/Waterfall/LHversion/River_CliffEnd2.zip

Aside from the particle effects there are still other problems with waterfalls (no raise or lower land spells were cast here):

Parrtomath you are awesome!  And don't worry about stepping on toes, the more great stuff we get from you, the more we can focus on creating new things.
