well I use Firefox and it loads all the data in the browser window as if it were a text file, clicking the icon next to the filename is the same link and does the same thing.
I've made a webserver in class before so I'll look into it and see if I can give you some code to fix this =)

well the easy way is to just set the $forcedownloads to true, but then you'd force everything to be dl'd, so you can also use the following:
if(substr($_GET['download'], -3, 3)=='mkv') $forcedownloads = true;
then it only sets it to true when the filename ends with mkv.
just put this line right after the line:
$forcedownloads = false;
then it should work.

So I completely forgot to mention this earlier, but I hope you are ducking underneath all doors that raise up when possible, like you did in TWINE and like how Rising Tempest forgot to in GE.
And Rescue is awesome, because that's the one where you push the NPC's to speed things up right? You can probably strafe them all the way to their destination. That'll look cool.
Er, rescue 2? whatever.
It's not Rescue, it's Escape. Also RT didn't forget to duck under doors cause it's not possible in GE. And i'm pretty sure it doesn't save any time in PD since doors are pretty fast and ducking looses full speed. (I don't even know if it's even possible)
Anyways, Rescue is pretty much done so i'll post it here later.
Edit: Okay, Resuce done!

well if you did what I said, it's still not working for me even though it worked when I did that with a mkv file on my own computer. could you send me the exact file in which you added the line?
mkv is so slow to play back at big resolutions, why not make avi's?
What. How would using a container that isn't meant for supporting .264 streams help playback speed using the same video stream? I generally disapprove of .264 videos in an avi container, but if you are experiencing slowdown, it's either because your computer is like 10 years old (I used to have a computer that couldn't play back the megaman X1+X2 dual-run at full speed. Now my 5-year-old laptop can play 1920x1080 .264 mkvs fine) or you aren't using a good decoder (ffdshow is kinda slow, coreavc is very fast, and I hear DivX's new avc decoder is even faster) or player (MPC, zoomplayer, and VLC should be cool. VLC doesn't need a separate decoder, but it kind of blows).
Anyway, you can use MKVWizard and avc2avi to make your own avi using the mkv, but let me know if it plays back faster.

the weird thing is that it's only new containers such as mkv and mp4 which are slow. my computer is 5 years old and i use mpc with ffdshow. i can play a 1920x1080 h.264 avi but not a mkv at that resolution (it lags a lot). that doesn't really matter though since i only have 1024x768 screen resolution.

Hmm, didn't know there was a difference. It might be that I use x264.exe instead of mencoder... Like I said, ffdshow is kind of slow, and you'd get better results if you a) disabled its h264 playback and let haali+coreavc or divxavc handle it, or b) use the aforementioned tools to cook your own avi. Future encodes of this game's progress will be back to small-o-vision (or at least have the small counterpart if I still feel like making bigger videos) though, because the point is for more people to be able to see it since mupen hates syncing for many people, and making video specs too demanding defeats that purpose. Sorry.
Escape is finally done!!! (Been on vacation for a week too, so thats the reason it has taken THIS long)

Final time: 2:51(28 seconds below wr)
Now i never want to see this level again and hopefully i can get started with Air Base soon(No reset needed this time!).
Anyways, enjoy!
Heh, that was sweet. It's a good thing everyone in this facility has wheels on their feet so you can cart them around.
Videos of Escape can be found here. (choose your quality)

Awesome stuff. My favorite part is when one of the guards died, and he called Joanna a bitch. I didn't know Rare used that kind of language in the 007 and PD series....
Because of a new major glitch i found in AF1 it may take a while before the TAS is done. I'm trying to find out if it's possible to save time with the glitch(more info on the glitch can be found on the-elite's PD forum).
Anyways, hopefully i'll be able to utilize the glitch in a cool way and make an awesome TAS of it :)
Btw, Just curious, if the glitch would happen to be a little slower than normal running, would it still be preferable to implement it in the TAS? I mean since i start in the unoptimal position i can't compete with wr and a glitch like this would add a huge amount of entertainment.
