What was I using? something...else...  8)

Srethron, are you able to access the server on other internet connections? Mirex suggested it could be some weird browser error, or else it's just that current connection you are on. But my server has been changed to apache. But I'm pretty sure it is in vain.

We'll see.

If you enable 8bit paletted textures support with Riva Tuner, you should choose "2 x 2" AA.

But QAA is usefull if you disable 8bit paletted textures support with Riva Tuner.

This is probably a daft question but... it doesn't look like those screenshots have been resized (looking at, say, the antialiasing compared to the background). If not, how did you force the 1024 x 768 resolution? I had thought this wasn't possible by reading some of the posts here. :)

That looks pretty good, halohalo.

Synergy blades: if you hadn't known, pete's opengl plugin is a psx emulation graphics plug-in. So those are screenshots of the PSX version. You can select very high resolutions in the psx version, and not in the PC version.

Ye-Roon: How are the fonts bad? I think they look a little weird because of the jpeg compression. And the fact that it's in japanese...

Rubicant: Gee, thanks for going out of your way, trying to help me with this. Well, switching to Apache did *something.* Now I can access http://kucoru.dyndns.org/, but all of your media files (images/downloads) still time out (although I get valid HTTP traffic from your server now--it's obviously *trying* to give them to me.)

Here's a log of what happens when I access your main page. Green is me, Red is the server.

Before, it would hang after this.

Now, the problem is right here. Your server sends the image back to me, but for some reason it doesn't ever display. Something unknown is preventing me from accepting the response from your server. I think. So yeah, back to square one (as opposed to Squaresoft...) Looks like it's my problem.
In few days, my 28K line will be back up (it's being fixed right now.) I never use it, except when I absolutely have to (makes the phone bill go way up), but I can try accessing your site with it in a few days.
Interestingly, I tried my cellphone and *it* worked. Too bad it doesn't have download capabilities. =P

Haha that PM I just sent you was for nothing. Nevermind that...

That's pretty crappy how you can't access it.

By the way, the only reason why you can "access it" is because you can visit the main page. But that main page wasn't always there. Before, I used to have it just an index of all the files. Ever since I added on apache it wouldn't let me use hidden files (I haven't figured out how) and have them not be displayed with the indexing, so I switched to just having index.html so no one would be creeping around my server.

Yeah, guess I'm an "access of evil" or something.

...and I'm sure you know, but if you don't want people crawling your server, an index.html isn't going to be enough. That just stops the script kiddies.
