Not all video cards support 32-bit rendering. It is also not an option under OpenGL. You need to be using Direct3D to toggle it.

Back ON topic now...

I think I'm going to withdraw from the DLE-XP beta test for now, cause I just don't have the time to do it.

Of course I won't have a problem if you continue to send update notifications ;).

If IE says DNS error, it can actually be any number of things. The ones I can think of for HTTP sites are Host Not Found or Connection Refused. Several FTP site errors translate into DNS error in IE (basically if any problem prevents IE from getting to the server, it will spit out DNS error).

They were turned off on the UBB awhile ago, and they weren't turned back on when we made the transition to phpBB (I suspect Topher actually removed the checkbox from the template, as phpBB does not actually carry the option to turn off signatures).

Something that crossed my mind:

The ability to merge cubes would be nice, especially if you get sloppy in designing them (going overkill with cubes in a single area will slaughter D2's frame rate). I figure that could be quite a difficult task though ;).

There is no avatar defined in your profile on PD. That's either because you didn't enter one, or I erased it due to a bad filetype (probably the former, since I only removed BMP and TGA avatars, and only those uploaded to PD).

There's a lot of D1X code already in D2X.

And last I looked, icculus.org has been working with D2X for awhile. Though I don't know exactly what they're doing right now, if anything. The only problem I currently have with D2X is that I get random crashes in custom SP missions.

I like to mess around with them. I think I managed to sink all the balls I could find in the PTMC Tracking Station (had to use Concs to get one ball over a beam).

Some of the powerups spawned are well worth the effort (Mega Missiles anyone?).
