Fill the area you wish emptied with whatever block you want and then remove them.
Or the dwarfy method: Pour water on it, clear the resulting stone avay, level for level, and then use sponges to get rid of the water.

how would you go about pouring the water? I looked around and all I could figure out with manipulating liquids was the add blocks then remove to have a square of air thing.

Well, I already explained how water moves. Think of every block of water as an aquifer, and you're basically good.
In the current map, the overall magma level is higher than the water level. Level 21 magma is very common and most water is only level 20 or lower (there's also a bit of level 21 water, but I forgot where it is), so it would not be easy to clear out the highest layer of magma. Just remove blocks so the water moves where you want it to, easy as that!
Remember: When water touches magma, the magma transforms to stone. The water just stays.

I finished my library. For those interested, it's visible from the spawn point, look for a 3x3 glass floor to the left of the red and white landing pad and green on black letter E.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

made a five block wide road from the landing pad to both my little sign on the right and if you take a left when you get to the place where the road splits it will bring you to the Spleef arena so that those of you who can't fly can get there easier.

how do you get the screen shot to work for you? all it did when I tried was make a black pic so I had to use the good old printscreen button.

[warhammer651]

for the new map, I would be in favor of a medium sized aboveground area and a large underground area

[Volatar]

I think a partially cavernous map would be coolest this time around.

By that I mean like a map that is 3/4's rock, and cavernous rock (maybe a little less cavernous than the current one, but only a little) at that. and a normal map on the top 1/4th, except for being a little flatter than normal.

Basically a very DF style map 

I think a dedicated sprite wall aboveground would be cool too. I want a good place to put my dwarves and SoF and such.

Also, I claim whatever wall is infront of the spawn to make another "Bay 12" "Dwarf" <dwarf sprite> "Fortress" "Beyond Quality" as the server logo.  I am now taking suggestions for what dwarf sprite to use. (I want to use a tileset one, but it can be from any tileset, and be of any profession)

toady one the engineer.

toady one the engineer.

Yeah, I got that already. Thats what I plan to do.

This map is so dwarven... I say we should make a Spleef tournament in the last hours of this map. Just because. And because I like my Spleef arena.

Its even easily accessible from the starting area without flying because of the road I built from the landing target under the spawn point.

Edit: darn the computers at my collage wont let it work! Now what am I to do with my spare hour between classes?(the error I get is "org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated")

My Java-fu is pretty much non-existent, but have you checked if the computers have the newest JRE installed? That would be my first guess since college computers rarely get updated.

[Vayre]

Ok, whoever made a long tunnel with various Fortress based rooms and linked it to my Fort rules XD

It was not installed but installing it(which I did) did not work, I guess Ill just play Crawl instead.
