     - Pentium 166 or equivalent (Pentium II Recommended)
     - Pentium 233 or equivalent for software rendering
     - 4MB (or greater) D3D compatible video card recommended
     - 32MB RAM
     - Windows95/98
     - DIRECTX6.0 (or higher)
         
 ******************************************************************

  2. INSTALLATION

     If you have autoplay enabled, just place the Shogo CD into your
     CD-ROM drive and wait for the onscreen prompts.  If you do not
     have autoplay enabled, run setup.exe from the root directory of
     the Shogo CD.

     The Shogo CD must be in your CD-ROM drive in order to play Shogo
     in Single Player mode.  The CD is not required to play Shogo in
     Multiplayer mode.

 ******************************************************************

  3. DIRECTX6
         
     DirectX6.0 (or higher) is required to play Shogo. DirextX 6.1 is
     included on this Shogo CD and will be installed automatically
     during a Normal or Minimum install of Shogo. You can also choose
     to install DirectX 6.1 through the Custom install option.

     In most cases DirectX will install new video and audio drivers
     for your system.  If you have not updated your drivers for your
     video or audio hardware recently, we strongly suggest that you
     update your drivers during the DirectX installation.

     Although you may not be prompted for a restart after
     installing DirectX6.1, we HIGHLY recommend that you restart your
     computer anyway.

 ******************************************************************

  4. DIRECT3D
         
     Shogo supports Microsoft's Direct3D 3D Hardware API.
     Direct3D provides excellent performance and hardware support
     for most 3D video cards.  However, you may need to install the
     most recent video drivers for your 2D/3D hardware to get the
     best performance from Shogo.
       
     For links to the most recent video and audio drivers, please check
     the Shogo Online Manual, or visit the Monolith drivers page at
     drivers.lith.com

     For information on a specific video card (including links), see the
     3D HARDWARE section in this readme.

  5. SHOGO LAUNCHER

  5.1  Launch Shogo Button

       Click Launch to start Shogo.  The first time you run Shogo, you will
       be prompted to select a detail level. This detail setting will
       scale the content in Shogo to increase performance or increase
       visual quality.  You can change this detail setting at any time
       during the game by selecting Options...Display from the in-game menus.

       Medium detail is the default setting, and is also a good choice
       for most systems.  The detail settings are explained in depth in the
       section on DISPLAY DETAIL SETTTINGS in this readme.


  5.2  Multiplayer Button

       Click the Multiplayer button to start the Shogo multiplayer wizard.
       For details on setting up multiplayer games, refer to the Multiplayer
       section of the Online Manual.


  5.3  Display... Button

       The first time you run Shogo, we strongly suggest that you click
       the Display button in the Shogo launch box. This will test your
       video drivers to ensure DirectX6 compatibility.

       Because Shogo checks the DirectX status of your video card(s)
       when you click Display, if you do not have DX6 compatible video
       drivers, you may encounter problems.  Shogo uses the same routine
       to initialize your video card when you click Launch, but by clicking
       Display you can see the results.  If you encounter problems after
       clicking Display (this is rare) please refer to the TROUBLE SHOOTING
       section of this readme.
    
         
  5.3.1   Choose your video card
         
          Display allows you to choose your display device (e.g., the
          video card) that you want to use to play Shogo.  Only DirectX6
          compatible devices will be displayed in the display window.  You
          can also switch your display device at any time during the game
          by choosing Options...Display...Change Mode.


  5.3.2   LithTech Direct3D Renderer

          To use 3D hardware acceleration (if you have a Direct3D-compatible
          3D video card installed in your computer), choose LithTech Direct3D
          Renderer in the Renderers window, and then choose your display
          driver (your video card) in the Displays window.

          If you are running a 2D/3D video card such as a Riva 128, your
          card will show up as "Primary Display Driver".  If you are running
          a pass-through card such as a 3DFX-based card, it will be listed
          below Primary Display Driver as something similar to
          "3DFX Interactive Voodoo".

          Not all video cards support 3D hardware acceleration. If you are
          uncertain about whether your video card has 3D hardware
          acceleration features, please refer to your card's documentation.

          For more information about a specific 3D video card, see the
          3D VIDEO HARDWARE section of this readme.


  5.3.3   LithTech Software Renderer

          To run Shogo without 3D hardware acceleration, choose LithTech
          Software Renderer in the Renderers window. Then choose your video
          card in the Displays window. If you are running the LithTech
          software renderer on a system with multiple video cards, we
          strongly suggest choosing your Primary Display Driver (your 2D card)
          in the Displays window.

  5.3.4   LithTech 3DNow! Direct3D Renderer

          Shogo supports AMD's 3DNow!(TM) technology, which accelerates
          some 3D graphics operations. If you have an AMD 3DNow! compliant
          CPU, using this renderer may improve graphics performance when used
          in conjunction with a 3D hardware accelerator.

          NOTE:  The LithTech 3DNow! Direct3D Renderer is intended for use
                 only in AMD 3DNow! compatible systems. We do not recommend
                 selecting this option with non-AMD CPU's (Intel, Cyrix, etc.)
                 
          For more information about a specific 3D video card, see the
          3D VIDEO HARDWARE section of this readme.

         
  5.3.5   Resolution

          You can also set your resolution screen size in the Shogo Display
          Settings. The default resolution for Shogo is 640x480 16bit.
          Selecting lower resolutions (512x384) may improve performance
          at the expense of detail.  Selecting higher resolutions (800x600,
          1024x768) may improve quality at the expense of performance.

          If you are running the LithTech Software Renderer, we suggest
          running a low resolution (320x200) first to test the performance
          on your computer.
 
          You can also change the resolution at any time during the game by
          choosing Options...Display...Change Mode from the in-game menus.


  5.4  Customize... Button
       
       Use Customize... to add in additional resources and levels for mods,
       patches and multiplayer. Please visit the Shogo website
       www.shogo-mad.com for the most up to date information on customizing
       Shogo.


  5.5  Advanced... Button

       The Advanced Options are designed for advanced users and trouble-
       shooting only. Some of the advanced options may not be compatible with
       all hardware. Mixing and matching some advanced options may cause
       unpredictable results. For the most up to date information on Advanced
       options, check out the Shogo website www.shogo-mad.com.

          3D Cards... Button
          The 3D Cards button should be used as a reference for the best
          advanced settings for your particular video card.  Note that
          the cards are listed by chip manufacturer. If you don't know the
          chip manufacturer of your video card, please check your video
          card documentation, or check with the manufacturer.

          3D Sound... Button
          The options listed here depend on the audio hardware you have
          installed on your PC. For more information about 3D Sound, see
          the SOUND CARDS & IMA section of this readme.

          Disable Sound
          This will disable all sound fx in Shogo.

          Disable music
          This will disable Shogo's Interactive Music Architecture, or IMA.
          Some sound cards may have incompatibilities with IMA. Used for
          troubleshooting only.

          Disable movies
          Disables the Monolith Logo and Shogo Intro from playing every time
          you click Launch. Useful if you want to get right into the action.

          Disable light mapping
          Turns off light mapping (a shadow-lighting effect) in all display
          detail settings. This option is also available through the in-game
          menus, and is disabled in medium detail mode. 

          Disable fog
          Disables all atmospheric (not clipping plane) fog. No performance
          increase or decrease.  Strictly subjective, although may be useful
          on cards that "almost" support table fog.

          Disable line systems
          Disables all line systems in Shogo.  Line systems are used for
          tracer fire on many enemy weapons. Unlikely to provide any
          performance increase, but useful as a troubleshooting item.

          Disable model full brights
          Some textures/models in Shogo use a palette technique that makes
          certain colors always bright, regardless of the surrounding light
          conditions (e.g., making them "fully bright"). This option is also
          available through the in-game menus, and is disabled in medium
          detail mode.

          Disable DirectX6 commands
          Use only for troubleshooting.  Probably doesn't do what
          you think it does.

          Disable Joysticks
          This will disable all joystick input.  Use for troubleshooting.

          Enable optimized surfaces
          Optimizes the way 2D surfaces (e.g., ammo, health, armor,
          crosshair) are drawn. Checking this on AGP cards may
          provide a performance increase, especially on Intel i740-
          based cards.  This option may cause problems on some 3DFX
          cards, depending on which drivers are installed.

          Enable poly gap fixing
          Fixes noticeable gapping between polygons on some 3D video cards.
          A MUST for Riva 128 video cards.  May slow performance on
          low-end/older 3D video cards.  Not a significant performance
          decrease on fast 3D cards. Makes everything look "nicer".

          Enable triple buffering
          Enables a feature on some video cards that can improve performance.
          Most AGP video cards benefit from this feature being enabled.
          However, this may cause lock-ups on some PCI video cards, or video
          cards that only have 4mb of video memory.

          Enable mipmap sharpening
          Sharpens the mipmaps (textures) for some ATI cards.  Not really
          useful for anything other than making the textures look strange
          on most cards.

          Enable Software pixel doubling--LithTech Software Renderer ONLY
          Check this option only when using the LithTech Software Renderer.
          Useful for simulating low resolutions (320x200, 320x240) on 2D
          video cards that don't support low resolutions in 16-bit color.
          If you check this option and have 640x480 16bit selected as your
          resolution, Shogo will simulate 320x240.  Can provide noticeable
          performance increases at the expense of visual quality.

          Enable single-pass multi-texturing
          A feature that can improve performance on some high-end video cards
          such as the 3DFX Voodoo2 and Voodoo3, nVidia Riva TNT and TNT2, and
          ATI Rage 128 (there are others as well). This feature is very
          dependent on drivers, so please make sure you have the most recent
          drivers for your video card before trying this option. Checking
          this option on video cards that don't support multi-texturing may
          cause unpredictable results.

          Restore factory default settings
          This restores all configuration settings to the original factory
          defaults. Resets key configuration, detail level and sound. Useful
          if you're mucking around with detail settings and you just want
          things back the way they were.

          Command-Line
          Advanced users only.  For more information on this feature,
          visit the Shogo website at www.shogo-mad.com.

          Always specify these command-line parameters
          Advanced users only.  Checking this box will save anything
          entered into the command-line box and will always add it to
          the command line.

  7. SOUND CARDS & IMA

     In order to get the best and most reliable audio performance in
     Shogo, we recommend that you download or obtain the latest drivers from
     your sound card manufacturer.

     IMA
     Shogo uses a new Interactive Music Architecture for music playback.
     Because this technology is very new, you may experience some problems
     with some sound cards and music playback. Upgrading to the most recent
     drivers for your sound card usually solves any music playback problems.

     3D SOUND
     Shogo supports a variety of 3D Sound options. The options listed are
     dependent on what kind of 3D sound (if any) your sound card and computer
     system supports.

     To access the 3D SOUND options, in the Shogo Launcher click Advanced...
     3D Sound...  A list of 3D sound "providers" will be shown along with
     several other options related to 3D Sound.  Each option is explained
     below.

  7.1  Providers

       The list of providers that you can use in Shogo is dependent on
       what kind of sound card you have. Shogo autodetects your hardware,
       so you will only receive those providers that are supported on
       your system.

       Here's the current list of providers (note that as newer providers
       become available in future patches or driver updates, this list
       may grow):

       - No 3D sound
         This option provides panning 3d and volume fades. Maximum
         performance w/greatest compatibility.

       - Miles 2D stereo positional audio
         Uses the Miles Sound System to create some 3D-type sound effects
         including panning 3d, volume fades and dopplering. Provides
         enhanced audio w/minor performance hit.

       - Microsoft DirectSound3D software emulation
         This option will attempt to emulate DirectSound3D hardware
         acceleration in software. Potentially a large performance hit.
         May not be compatible with all sound cards. Fun to play around
         with this, but not recommended for extended use.

       - Microsoft DirectSound3D hardware support
         A generic DirectSound3D provider.  If this option is displayed,
         your sound card supports Directsound3D hardware acceleration.

       - Microsoft DirectSound3D with Creative Labs EAX(TM)
         Choose this option if you have a SoundBlaster Live! or PCI 128
         from Creative Labs. We recommend that you get the newest
         Creative drivers when using EAX.  This option kicks major ass.

       - Aureal A3D Interactive(TM)
         This option will be displayed if you have an A3D compliant
         sound card (Diamond MX200 or MX300, Turtle Beach Montego or
         Montego2 to name a few).  We recommend that you get the
         newest drivers for your sound card when using A3D.
  
       - RSX 3D Audio from RAD Game Tools
         This is a software sound system that provides some additional 3D
         sound enhancements.

  7.2  Samples

       The hardware and software samples tell Shogo how many different
       sounds you want to mix during gameplay.  Some sound cards may
       support more than 16 Hardware Samples (for example, the Creative
       Labs SBLive! card supports 32 samples in hardware mixing).
       Changing the number of samples may affect performance on
       your system.

       Reverb
       This controls the amount of "echo" that you will hear when
       using some DirectSound3D providers (EAX, for example, provides
       hardware accelerated reverb).  Very High will provide the most
       echo, Very Low provides the least amount.

     For specific information about problems you might be having with your
     sound card, check the TROUBLE SHOOTING section of this readme.

     For the most up to date information on sound card driver combinations
     and settings, please visit your sound card manufacturer's website, or
     visit drivers.lith.com.

  8. DISPLAY DETAIL SETTINGS

     Shogo contains several in-game detail settings that will affect
     performance. You can change these detail settings through the
     in-game menus by choosing Options...Display.

     You can also choose Advanced through the in-game menus and tweak
     each detail setting individually. Once you choose Advanced and change
     a setting, your detail setting will be displayed as "Advanced".
     Changing your Detail Setting back to LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH will
     reset any advanced options.

     Switching detail settings while in the game will result in a restart of
     Shogo's renderer, which may take several seconds.

       LOW
       A good choice for systems near or at the minimum system requirements.
       Uses the least amount of texture memory.  Turns off just about every
       detail option available in Shogo.  Also the best choice when using
       the LithTech Software Renderer.

       MEDIUM
       A good choice for most systems.  Uses less texture memory than high,
       but keeps most other special effects in place.

       HIGH
       Turns up everything in terms of visual look. Recommended only for
       high-end systems with fast 3D video cards.  Uses the most texture
       memory, but looks the best.

 ******************************************************************

  9. PERFORMANCE TUNING

     Game speed and performance are dependent on several different hardware
     factors. The 3 major factors that affect performance in Shogo:
     CPU, 3D Video Card, and memory.

     If you are experiencing slow performance on your system, first try
     setting the Detail Setting under Options...Display to LOW.  This
     setting will have the biggest single impact on performance.

     Shogo will default to using 8-bit (LOW) quality sounds unless you chose
     HIGH the first time you ran Shogo.  Changing the Sound Quality to LOW
     under Options...Sound will save memory and can increase performance.

     Turning Music to OFF under Options...Sound may also increase performance
     slightly on slower CPU's.  If you've turned everything else off and
     you're still looking for a couple of extra frames-per-second, set
     Music to Off.

     Model FullBrights and Environment Mapping can have a large impact on
     slower systems.  These options are both set to ON when HIGH is selected,
     but are set to OFF in MEDIUM and LOW.

     Lightmapping can also slow some systems down.  The Intel i740, for
     example, will see a large performance increase just by setting
     Lightmapping to OFF.

     Using 3D Sound has a significant impact on performance, especially
     on slower systems. If you're running Shogo on a system at or near
     the minimum system requirements, we recommend setting 3D Sound to
     "none" under the Advanced menu in the Shogo launcher.

 10. TROUBLESHOOTING

     Q: Many of the sounds in Shogo seem to be garbled.  What's wrong?
     A: If you are running Shogo on a 3DFX card, your driver may be stealing
        some cycles from the bus.  Install the latest 3DFX reference drivers
        located on the Shogo CD.  This should cure the problem.

     Q: I installed DirectX6 during the Shogo installation, but now I can't
        use my 3D video card to run Shogo.
     A: This is likely the result of non-DirectX6 compliant video drivers.
        Please visit drivers.lith.com for the most recent information on
        drivers for your card.  Or, try reinstalling DirectX6 and updating
        your video drivers when prompted.

     Q: When I click the Display button in the Shogo launcher, it pauses for
        a long time, and then nothing happens.  What gives?
     A: Make sure that you have installed DirectX6.  If you installed
        DirectX6, you may not have updated your video drivers.  Reinstall
        DirectX6 and update your video drivers when prompted.

     Q: I have a joystick plugged into my computer, but Shogo won't
        recognize it.
     A: Check the joystick configuration in Windows.  Go to Settings...
        Control Panel...Game Controllers and check to make sure that
        your joystick is configured correctly.

     Q: I have a joystick installed, but I can't get it to "feel" right
        with the Shogo joystick menus.
     A: See the Joystick.htm file in the \Joystick directory in the
        c:\games\shogo directory (or wherever you have Shogo installed).
        This files explains how to properly set up your joystick.
      
     Q: I can't switch to some video resolutions that are displayed under
        Display in the launcher and in the Change Mode option under the
        in-game Display menu.
     A: Shogo uses DirectX to query your card about display resolutions.
        Your driver may be reporting to DirectX that it can display at a
        certain resolution, even though the hardware does not support it.
        This is common on many 2D cards when running in software.

     Q: I can't get my 3D card to work with Shogo no matter what I try.
     A: There is a DirectX diagnostic tool that is installed when you
        install DX6 during a Shogo installation.  You can access this
        diagnostic tool in Program Files...directx...setup....dxdiag.exe.
        Please refer to the help file that accompanies dxdiag.exe for more
        information on using it.

     Q: I have a Riva TNT card and the movies stutter during playback.
     A: Check "Enable triple buffering" under the Advanced options in
        the launcher.
