 |files|

  Common:  alpha2.mp3 astral.pak astral2.pak astral.scr
  Windows: demo-win.exe
  Linux:   
demo-lnx.elf
  Texts:   apoc.nfo file_id.diz astral.nfo

 |troubleshooting|

  Redirect demo's output to a file and read its end.
  In most cases there is an error message...
  WIN:   demo-win.exe > errors.txt
         notepad errors.txt
  LINUX: ./demo-lnx.elf > errors
         vi errors
  If you can't find the problem, send us that file,
  and description of problem.

  For windows: try to upgrade driver, in most cases
  opengl driver is buggy or incompatible to standard.

  For linux: check libGL.so.1 and libc.so.6, they must
  exists on your library path. GLX or DRI must be loaded.
  Check filenames, they must be all lower-case.

 Immortal Rat told me that he wanted to make
 an  horroristic and brutal demo in january.
 We tried to finish it for Ambience but we
 didn`t have enough time. Unfortunately the
 scenes he sent to our coders were full of 
 bugs:) Arpi, Strepo and Wad spent the whole
 week before Mekka2000 fixing the 3d and
 adding special effects. We finsihed the
 demo in the last minutes again.
 Hopefully without bugs but if you notice
 any feel free to mail us!
 At the party friday we made and international
 meeting on the net. Arpi and me from Hungary
 Magicboy from Holland and Tomcat from 
 Germany - Mekka partyplace:)
 Magicboy made some additional gfx and we
 have sent System apoc to Mekka2000.

 |special effects|

 The usual things :)
 Lightmaps, particle systems, transparent objs...

 |programs used for creation|
 
 * Autodesk 3D Studio R4 for DOS
 * Kinetix 3D Studio MAX 3.0
 * Adobe photoshop
 * Handmade soft's Image Alchemy
 * GCC 2.91 (egcs-1.1.2) [linux]
 * Watcom C 11.0 [windows]
 * UPX - universal exe packer

 |coder's notes|

 LINUX rulez! ;-)

 We hope that at Assembly 2000 we can show
 our demo under linux. The only required

 thing for this: compo machine must have a
 card with linux support. Everything is ok but
 nvidia's shits. nvidia is the ONLY company who
 can't make WORKING drivers for linux...
 Maybe they bought programmers from M$ :)
