1. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- 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.
For information on sound cards, 3D sound, DirectSound3D, Creative
Lab's EAX and Aureal's A3D, see the SOUND CARDS & IMA section of
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.
5.6 More Games... Button
Click the More Games... button to access demos and movies of other
Monolith titles. All Monolith titles are available at your local
software retailer, or directly through Monolith at www.lith.com
5.7 Help Button
Click the Help button to access the Shogo Online Manual. The Online
Manual contains more information about playing Shogo.

******************************************************************
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.
For the most recent updates on performance tuning, go to the Shogo
website at www.shogo-mad.com
******************************************************************
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.
