Minecraft, Craftin' mines, what is your power move?

[deleted]

[deleted]

Didn't you know!?

Stop whining

[deleted]

I lol'd.

[deleted]

It's only 38 miles.

3D is just a gimmick!

Stop whining.

It's not a tumah

yes, and yes.

Man I stayed up way too late last night building the path to my Mining Corporation.
Can't wait to see the latest render of MercFox's server.

I stayed up real late building the rail station. It looks pretty epic!!!11!11one!log(10)!!

are those factorials bro

When you purchase it, you can either run the Alpha online (the in-browser version) or download a standalone Minecraft client.

LAST NIGHT'S OIZOMAPPER RENDER - Shacknews East:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7834948/20100913_2253.png

Rendered: 10:53 PM EST, Sept. 13th

told you you were going to run right over my tower with that canal, dnagenome :P

Mr. Mayor MercFox1,

I humbly request a change of address.

In other words, is there a better location than living with the peasants? I will work for it. :)

I may have to craft a SAM site to shoot down that freaking canal

Why doesn't anyone want to live on Tier 2? It's a lot nicer than Tier 3, way too freaking cramped up top for my taste. :\

or at least not under the damn canal where my house is under darkness 24/7 .

;)

I am fine with Tier 2, can I just move it back towards the wall maybe?

[deleted]

Completed the first and basement level of my tower last night. It's loosely based around Orthanc (Saruman's tower from the Lord of the Rings) so I'll just call it that for convenience now: http://www.shackpics.com/files/Orthanc_3_bwzeb779afvitrylg8xm.png (note that any dirt inside the tower is temporary scaffolding).

Some things I have learned so far:
1) Stair code is still buggy as shit in MP. I think what happens is, if you place stairs with any ambiguity about which direction they're supposed to go (i.e. usually if they have 2 neighbouring blocks), they glitch the fuck out and you rubberband like a mofo when you hit that stair. Follow Arcanum's directions for stair placement (check the wiki) and you'll be fine. (This is why there are floating bits of dirt to the side of the staircase in the above pic).

2) If you want a quick way of clearing gravel, clear out everything below the column of gravel except for one block, and put a torch under that block:

GGGG
GGGG
GGGG
SSSS
TTTT

G=gravel, S= stone, T = Torches

Then knock out the stone blocks, the gravel falls onto the torches and becomes collectible blocks: you don't need to dig it out.

lol we can redirect it if it's bothering your view :) I think dnagenome just wanted something to do with the tons of cobblestone he was collecting, so I think he's gonna ship it to me :P

[deleted]

http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=23988799#itemanchor_23988799

The possibility is increasing!

Oh yeah, couple of source pics to show you what I'm working towards:

http://www.shackpics.com/viewer.x?file=Orthanclee_fdjsqc29z60oqc1tuzo9.jpg
http://www.shackpics.com/viewer.x?file=thelordoftheringsisengard_ze0born8rc1hujiorg17.jpg (although I plan to leave the trees in the circle.)
http://www.shackpics.com/files/LOTRenviroisengardlrg_cvy2wqfh8gsfn9e2en7q.jpg

Or merc could replace the bottom with glass so it's see thru. why would you not like the canal, and what's that off northwest of duke city?

Let's redirect it more to the north. I can set up a canal station near the north wall which can connect up with the canal via waterfall.

Glass is also a good idea.

Yeah, sure.

Ok, needs to water falls, the up and the down. Also it helps to have a body of water or river to drop into for the down waterfall.

[deleted]

will you be able to build high enough to make it look good?

[deleted]

Ya, i just don't want to do the sides as glass so we can place torches and possibley rail tracks. It's 7 blocks wide with the canal being 3 blocks wide and the edges are 2 blocks wide.

[deleted]

He needs to implement some manual block-turning logic, it can be annoying for any other block with a front side too like chests and furnaces.

Any Mac-heads have any idea why this is? I have no formal experience with java on OSX

I'm guessing it's 64 blocks from sea level? Going to build the middle column right up to the skybox tonight to see how much room I have to work with.

How high is it possible to build?

[deleted]

The world is 128 cubes high. 64 up and down from sea level.

WRONG ANSWER!

Weekend discussion? What?

I've been working on my underground circuit and it's near completion! Also, it turns out my tunnel in the basement is really close to the mine.

woot, that'll be high enough I think. Thanks TroZ.

Oh yeah, is it possible to do a time lapse of these renders? It would be neat to see how things develop over time.

It'll be hitting the skybox, that's for sure. At the very least I'll try to get it proportional: if it looks too fat, or too tapered I can correct it as I go (walls are easy to put up/demolish: the real devil is putting down each floor, still haven't found an efficient method for that yet).

Yeah, it's possible.

[deleted]

[deleted]

Hey, you helped me get furnaces working reliably, we're all a specialist in something :)

what is this about

I was having trouble making glass last night, kept disappearing. :(

I have a house in Duke City, just need to move it because its always in darkness, not a big deal.

[deleted]

I'm stupid, where is the spawn and Duke City on this?

The easiest place on either end is actually probably south, no?

[deleted]

[deleted]

You can do it, but the canal location HAS to be in the northern part of the city. There is no room in the southern part of DCF for development of a canal station.

Should be that easy. Don't burn down anybody's shit!

Nah I'll just turn it north on both ends, that way it'll be more useful for others to connect to later.

Please don't put it over my house....please

I have to keep the vampires away

Heh. Problem with North is where I'd want the canal to end (the top lake, north-east of Orthanc) would make the canal run right over Hemtroll's castle (I think -- the black one north of DCF). I doubt he'd be pleased with that.

Maybe the canal needs to be a big S or something. Take a bit of a scenic route.

what is this canal station nonsense

what's the weird gray blob south of the red/yellow blob?

Dude, I totally got this. I'd upload a paint diagram but I dont have access to dropbox here.

shackpics, crop the render down

the red/yellow blob looks like a massive patch of flowers, the grey thing under that is actually exposed stone, but sometimes (and Cartograph does this too) rendering programs don't render chunks correctly. It's nothing to be worried about, just a little quirk. It shouldn't look like that in the world.

canal doesn't have to be a straight line, it can turn.

Yeah but if it's too bendy you lose most of the benefits of having a canal :)

Also I was trying to make your job easier, not harder :P

what is this canal?

That works but it'll also diagonal to the north af's tower.

I am going to drop water from the canal onto your house!

Cut-n-paste lazy job!

[deleted]

How about http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2740563/take_2.png a) it's easier and b) won't cause a leak in my roof

You should build a protoss mothership over Port Thong :D

Lamplopolis is coming along nicely on Shacknews East... I've flattened out some area on the island circled in this picture. There is some room here if people want to build in Lamplopolis. I kinda sectioned it off into 4 plots, but if you have a huge project in mind I could be convinced to give you the entire island. :)

I'm also going to start flattening some more space on the mainland for additional building.

http://shadowdane.shackspace.com/Minecraft/Lamplopolis.png

fast transit between spawn/the main cities and my place. Dnagenome was bored and offered to build it.

Dude, that would totally cut my mine outta the loop, then how could i use the canal i built? silly furry!

I figure sprawl will eventually lead more folks out into that area of the map too.

It's pretty obvious that you could just branch it south at your mine, duh. Easier than doing a diagonal section too prolly.

Railway like this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EMRbucCLu0

update the pic above for you.

*updated

Yeah I'm going to go with this. Easiest, most straight tracks, doesn't rain on anyone's parade (literally). Easy connections to Hemtroll, Arctic, DCF, and future places abroad.

Seems like a winner.

assuming Hemtroll's cool with it it's got my vote. Dnagenome, I can help you start building it tonight if you like. Looks like the easiest place to start is from the lake near my place, there's pretty obvious geographical markers about where to aim it. And you can use my cobble and repay me when it's finished.

[deleted]

[deleted]

Ok I can-do that, but I'll let netflix take down the old one!

Mercfox is the rail guy. The canal will be a... canal. You know, with boats.

[deleted]

Well just try to flood hemtroll's place, he won't mind.

Stupid autocorrect mercfox can take down the old one, he's good at gathering gangs

[deleted]

The canal we're talking about will be for boats. conandan and some others built the first one on World1, since then we've had a working canal on each world iteration. Minecart tracks still don't work correctly, but when they do, we'll have a working rail system as well (since cargo carts are a big deal for moving materials over distance).

[deleted]

nah, i'm deep underground now man :P

[deleted]

Eluder-Yutani Mining

:D

dnagenome, I just logged in and marked out the starting/ending position of the canal near my tower. You'll see a red/yellow X on tonight's render. Just in case you get 'crafting before I do tonight :)

[deleted]

I won't get started until about 5:30cst

As soon as there are creepers, i'm making landmines!

But will there be breakdancing wizards?

So.. nobody really knows what that update was yesterday huh? (Except Notch I guess)

Cool. But in that picture it looks like you have two bloody chopping blocks at your entrance. Not very inviting. :) Although.. I guess it just reinforces the "dragons" theme on the sign. If the dragons don't get you.. we will publicly execute you at the front gates...

what's that purple thing in your inventory?

i see lava pools and tnt in your future

Obsidian?

But seriously.. it looks nice so far! Nice design.

[deleted]

[deleted]

[deleted]

For me too, but I never found any clues as to what the update was.

[deleted]

Thanks waffles

Yeah I won't be on until around 7:30 CST probably. The X is currently in the mountains north of my tower. Did you find my little hole-in-the-wall with the chests of cobble/dirt, last time you were there defacing my tower?

Thanks man. It's gonna take a while, lol.

Yeah I was able to pretty easily see through the ground this weekend.

[deleted]

triksy false hobbitses

Well I finally got MineCrack. I'm happily holed up in my little haven and I'm digging away, all of a sudden I can hear a terrible moaning. Did enemies breach my closed in mine?

[deleted]

[deleted]

prolly just random cave noise.

It also will happen if you are near a cave and dont know it...

Nah, i just ran over with some dirt and gravel and decided to put down my initials. didn't look around the place. but i can carry alot of cobble, so no worries there. It only took two trips to my place to build the path to duke. I'll prolly start from your area till i run out of cobble, go back to my place and refill and run it out from there to join up, because I should be able to see it by then.

You can do so, however, you'll have to let me know where you plan on doing it. I don't see an issue right now, but there's some underground infrastructure that will have to go in and I need to know where to dig and where not to dig.

I'll go on after work. I can only play intermittently right now.

I was going to make a basement under my house if that is cool....?

WHAT HAX IS THIS?!?!

[deleted]

Sure, it just can't extend outside the boundary of your plot. foo's request is different because he doesn't have a defined plot yet.

[deleted]

water + still (not flowing) lava = obsidian. I'm going to make an obsidian forge on the second level of my tower :)

Very well. But if you need it sooner, there's a little cave next to the south arm of the tower. It's got 3 furnaces, a crafting table, and four chests in the back room. Take whatever you need for the canal, there's a full double chest of dirt and a full double chest of cobble.

Are we still thinking of making this canal out of glass?

Cool no problem

[deleted]

I'm not planning to, but the bottom could be replaced with glass at a later time. sides will need to be cobble so torches, tracks, and possibly craft chests can be placed on them.

I really wasn't expecting COCK & LOL to be so visible from Duke City. Please don't ban me!

[deleted]

[deleted]

That is what we built this city on, after all.

Ah, ok thanks. That's true, I was seeing through the floors quite a bit.

I don't supposed anybody knows if it's possible to change your username in Minecraft? I will try check the forums. I really wish I used my Shack name when I created the account.

That's actually ClayM's plot. You'd have to ask him, if he okays it, all yours, if not... :(

[deleted]

[deleted]

B& !!!!

Man your COCK&LOL is dropping property values across the city :(((

I lol'd.

Where is that, by the way?

[deleted]

it's all yours, i'm setting up elsewhere

All shackers with animals in their names are furries.

-Death o frats

Ok, found the X, unfortunately there wasn't enough open space to put my initials in your tower again. Started on the canal at the X, so will be easy to find on next render. Alas lunch is over and must go back to work :(

Can I pay you off with resources? I have A LOT of wood.

I was going to set up shop south of that bridge on that penninsula, the cock&lol changed my mind :(

It's like the Hollywood sign. It'll be the landmark for people to pose by in times to come.

[deleted]

[deleted]

I did build a platform off of the bridge that passes it purely for that purpose.

[deleted]

can we chop it up and make it into ladders?

[deleted]

[deleted]

SOLD! I'm not above a little bargaining!

[deleted]

[deleted]

[deleted]

Hey Merc, I'll trade you a full stack of iron for a full stack of tnt! (It would help me get rid of the canal over duke city)

No I understand the procedure, but I'm actually thinking of something where you throw a bucket of water into a vending machine, some tumblers turn, and out of the bottom pops a block of obsidian like you ordered a Coke. It's a funny :P

Just logged in to check it out. Nice work, you'll have to show me how you extend the bridge that fast over thin air, it'll probably help with my flooring of my castle.

TNT is administratively restricted at the moment. Griefing potential is too high, even with nerf measures in place.

Ok.. offering up Diamonds for people to build in Lamplopolis. Going to offer 32 Diamonds to people that come build here.

[deleted]

I will live on Tier 2 only if given enough space to construct a full roman Domus, complete with Tabernae, Atrium and Piscina

[deleted]

I'd love some water based npcs. I made a fishing hut on my snow map, but I can't fish yet :(

Hence the reason I asked the admin for it!

walk at an angel to the edge until you see the side enough to get the crosshairs on it. this is why i quit last nite when i got sleepy. it's tricky and i was falling off.

right, that's basically the trick I'm doing for flooring in places. It's a PITA, and it's slooooow

but but but... water based NPCs mean water based MONSTERS as well, and they give me the heebie jeebies

[deleted]

Watcher in the water by the door into the mines?

If he implemented fishing I don't think I would ever stop playing.

Better carts, fixed seeds, 100% working furnaces, reusable boats.

don't forget the free blowjob dispenser

I want mine carts working in multiplayer. That would allow us to travel better, and all I really want at this point. Imagine all the rail systems we would have.

Build what? A house?

how the heck do you have that many diamonds already?

[deleted]

Those all sound like things he's actually planning on doing eventually, based on what he's said before. Although I'm not sure if by "alchemy" he means what he was calling "rituals" before.

Do you need help breaking it down?

Fkin high five.

I think he means reclaimable, they're so cheap that it seems pointless having to even plop down a workbench and rebuild one.

It would be rollercoaster tycoon.

house, castle, anything you want. As long as it isn't pixel art

Heh i'm just trying to con some tnt outta merc. Cannons are cool!

the cave near Lamplopolis is very rich in diamonds... most veins I've found have 8-12 diamonds in them.

[deleted]

I mean I'll have to do deployment and detonation of TNT by hand.

Dude, you and merc just have to wait for the cows to be added back, since you chased all the pigs and chickens away. Damn furries!

lol you're bribing people to move in?

bah humbug

He needs to improve powered carts for that though, they're not good for much right now.

How high are your ceilings? if only 3 or 4 blocks high you can do it from below.

boosters could work until he fixes those.

[deleted]

Yeah I'd agree with this. The cave exploration loses so much without the threat of monsters.

Oh ya, I also recommend double-block floors, as if you decide to put in something on one of the upperlevels, like water pool, farms or such.

although it sounds like from Notch's blog posts this is priority one anyway, serverside health (coming Friday?) means PvM and PvP is possible.

Fox, have you ever been in a natural cave with a high ceiling that torchlight doesn't reach? You're looking around and a creeper drops down beside you from above. All you hear is SSSSSSSST BOOOOOOM.

Currently 7 blocks high, but that'll taper down as the tower gets higher.

HEH

Good idea, might consider this for the upper levels. I'm thinking of making an oasis on the 8th floor or so.

I found a huge mine yesterday. 287 iron ore, 49 gold, 374 redstone, 16 diamond and 27 obsidian. There's some obsidian left in it but otherwise I cleared out the whole thing. I do more building than cave exploring, so it was pretty exciting to find such a big cave system.

[deleted]

holy fuck

You're actually proving my point: I enjoy the risk.

there some way to store/remove all your shit in a chest with one command? i find that i like to store things before doing something stupid like build stairs into the sky or play with lava ..

in SP btw, but if theres a cmd for that in MP too i'd like to know

holy craps

stash yo shit! i learned that after dying in my self-made lava river and losing my diamond minepick made out of the only 3 diamonds i've ever found in SP.

[deleted]

I hate creepers :/ I've got a shitload of flint ready for arrows when mobs get added.

[deleted]

The only good thing about creepers is they drop gunpowder, and TnT rules. At least it will when merc turns it back on :(

True enough.

Well there's no point in having a diamond minepick if you don't bring it into mines with you. Monsters and death are what make Minecraft a manly game though, SMP so far has just been one big carebear cuddle party.

[deleted]

god damnit, we need these kinds of materials for the development I'm planning, but I never have time to mine because I'm always building! %!(*^%(&*!^@#$(&*^!@*&

You use it while you have it because it's faster, I don't get why people are so stingy with it. When it gets low save it for obsidian but otherwise go nuts. There's nothing long term to do with diamond. I would make a shovel out of it first though since it takes so little metal.

You need to recruit a miner or two into DCF it seems.

i'd rather find stuff worth mining with it first, then grab it. at least, until you can afford to lose one...

Armour? Swords?

yeah....when I read that I was like o_0

double freeze frame high five!

When it gets low just drop it and pick it up again.

well boats dont really work in MP do they? Like...other players dont see them - you just hover

Swords are good too, but is diamond armor really worth it? Given the risk of losing it all I would never want to carry that much diamond on my person unless it soaked twice as much damage as steel or something.

He's obviously talking about when that bug is fixed :P

[deleted]

I've never made any, but given that a diamond pick lasts 10x longer than an equivalent iron one I wouldn't be surprised if it was waaaay better.

point it out in a map, and if it has some topography like mtns and stuff we'll take a look! :)

Well i'm in the middle of excavating an island nearby my fortress of FAIL (it's the creepy looking fortress just north of spawn).

stole the bulletin board idea and put one up in the castle on zuff's server

Way more durable probably, but you're much more likely to lose it to lava/creepers than get hit that many times and live.

[deleted]

Well how bout that! A free prize in my soap! He said there'd be a free prize.

Free prizes in soap purchased from Caszuffania!

You mean when the server gets updated (it's already fixed if we weren't running on outdated software...)

It's an old version of the render, but see here: http://www.maplib.net/map.php?id=10474

I think I asked Merc about this and the fix didn't work

I may also be talking out my ass, who knows. YO MERCFAG

I believe merc said he applied the update and it didn't change that FEATURE. the tool bug must have been something else. Perhaps the occasional duping on logout/login.

Nope, I got a free diamond pick from nowhere the other day too

YO MERCFAG, response requested!

srsly, it's like he's not sitting constantly F5ing the Shack all day

AgentPothead updated his server and said it didn't fix it.

Yeah there was some really gamebreaking bug with tools after the patch that got fixed right away.

Burn it all down Pookie! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIS8zWM8JGM

Nope you have to dragon drop them all.

You need to ask and see if someone has them already

*cough* ^^^^^^^^^^^

when you look right at about 50s, how did all those trees catch fire? They're not connected to the bonfire.

STFU NOOBS. I still haven't applied that one server-side patch. Reports are that it does not fix the tool repair feature, tho.

That's the rest of TNT island. It's a warzone, especially made for tnt and burning shit down. I figured people would be less likely to grief our creations if they had a designated area to grief in.

fire can jump at least 1 space I believe.

Ha fair enough. Makes sense :D

Sheez Merc, it took like 20mins for you to respond, what are you doing, working or something?

Yeah but this shit was about 50 squares away. I was worried fire could jump that far D:

once fire starts, it can last a long time, trees in between may have already burned down completely

[deleted]

I do kind of wish I'd decided to take on my Big Economic Stimulus Public Works project on a public server, but I kind of wanted to avoid jackassery so I kept it on my single player map. But doing it on a public server would've made it go a lot faster since I could've recruited some help.

Fuck if that paid I'd quit my job right now

I was a little worried about jackassery when I planned Orthanc (see above) but then I figured, hey, it's a Shack server. Also, I want people to be able to walk through my creation!

Thursday is my last day at work.

Dude, i'm so gonna put lava in there soon!

me too

:( You get fired?

at least wait till I get a chance to help out too so I can berate your actions as well. I want to feel included.

You sure they won't call you in on Friday again?

So I bought this game using a credit card early Saturday morning, and I still can't play. I've e-mailed payment@mojang.com twice about it. The payment cleared my bank. It shouldn't have been an E-Check, though I didn't log in to a Paypal account to buy the game, if that means anything.

WTH? Anyone know what the crap is going on?

Yeah, the onces Arctic mentions have been burning for a week or two now.

I'll try to be patient.

Also, WinChatty blows up when trying to parse mega-threads (basically Apple threads and Minecraft threads).

Try posting to notch's twitter. Might be quicker, but I don't know the link to it. Can prolly find at notch.tumblr.com though.

i think it's www.twitter.com/xnotch

Co-op program, I'm coming back later.

Recent Render http://agentpothead.com/newest.png

Damn, who's been spamming this thread???? ARCTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC

I'm a cop, you idiot.

[deleted]

Doors are buggy still and fires either burn for about 3 minutes, or burn forever. Haven't had any problems with diamond weapons disappearing though.

There's a bug where what ever is in your first action slot will get duped to the bottom right inven spot. so if nothing in action slot it would change the inven slot to nothing, is that what's happening?

The dupe happens during logout/login it appears

Caszuffania update:

Runecraft now installed: http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1012&t=29244

Oizo map rendering now, will post when done.

the tool bug was one that kept tools from working after one use.

This is a Dwarf Fortress level converted by my DF2Minecraft program, mapped with Cartograph.
This is probably one of the most masterfully made Dwarf Fortress Fortresses. Many of the details don't convert well as there is only a few stone types in Minecraft, while Dwarf Fortress has nearly 200, when many having different shades or tints that show up in game. Compare it to the screenshot made with a 3d renderer made for Dwarf Fortress: http://i36.tinypic.com/34rd1c5.jpg

Here are the worlds, taken at different heights:
http://troz.shackspace.com/minecraft/df2mc/alpha/Flarechannel.rar
Specifically, that is from the 'groundlevel' world.

Can someone make a correct Oblique render of this using Ozio mapper, or whatever it is called?

If you want to explore the world, you'll probably need this map:
http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-7268-flarechannel

[deleted]

lol like you're in any position to criticise

I saw that, but I'm just not feeling the way they do casting in that mod.

That's still incredibly fucking awesome.

Hey TroZ, you're probably the person to ask about this:say I build an awesome building on Merc's server, and want to save it for posterity once it's finished. Am I able to just get Merc to send me the relevant chunk files and slap those onto an SP map? Or is there a more involved process you know about?

New Map: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1125473/Caszuffania-Oizo.png

Also, Llamacraft installed again, buckets should be working, fire shouldn't spread, and the works.

Fuck me, I need to log into your server just to check out that fucking epic castle

I really don't know much about the multiplayer maps, but I can only assume that they are the same format as SP maps, with just an additional file to store each player's inventory and position now.
If it isn't possible currently to just copy a map between SP and MP, I"m sure within a week there will be several tool to allow you to do so.

I logged onto your server last night when Merc's server was full, so hope you don't mind that I've been digging around. I made a small mine that's not visible on the map in between some mountains to get some tools.

You can copy a mp map to sp and vice versa. I think he's asking about grabbing specific sections of the map to import into his single player.

[deleted]

You're welcome to do whatever you want. Thanks for stopping by and taking a break from the "official" server.

Seems pretty stable to me so far. I made a Leafblower!

oh heh, I'd just take a backup copy of the map off Merc if that's the case. Just preparing for the day when the server needs to be wiped and by creation will be lost to the ages...

There is a program called MCEdit that is supposed to be able to copy parts from one world to another

oh shit i have to test this out!

Sah-weeeet, thanks. Expecting that with this + the root post of yours that some HUUUUGE fortresses will appear in a multiplayer map one day :D

That won't save you from my buckets of lava!

I don't know what you mean dude.

built a tele at spawn and a castle waypoint, but when i try to teleport there, i keep falling through the map

Pretty sweet! I think it's a good way to start to differentiate server's out. It's like a more fantasy based SMP experience. Cool beans!

HRRRRNNNNGGGGHHHH

I'm never going to let that go, just be thankful I never joined in on you and Agent's little shuffle a couple of days back.

NO I HAD IT FIRST IT'S MINE! :P

Is there a trick to the canals or is it just building a long pathway with walls and filled with water?

Pretty much what you said. If you want it to be a smooth body of water you have to place a lot of sources or mess with the checkerboard approach. http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=32724

I'll count my blessings.
