Windows: demo-win.exe
Linux:

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|

|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$ :)
