Myth II Linux Demo
                          Version 1.3e
                        January 12, 2001

This playable demo of Myth II: Soulblighter for Linux has the following
limitations over the full game :

    - Only three maps are available: two for solo games and one 
      for multiplayer games.
    - Guest-only login to Bungie.net

To give you access to the latest features and fixes of the full retail
version, we have upgraded this demo to v1.3.  This means, however, that
you will only be able to play this demo with other Myth II for Linux
Demo v1.3 users.


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

    * 133 MHz Pentium class or PPC processor (200 MHz or more recommended)

    * 32 MB RAM

    * 120 MB of free hard drive space.

    * Linux kernel version 2.0.x or 2.2.x

    * XFree86 version 3.2 or later.

    * /dev/dsp sound device for audio
      (the Enlightenment Sound Daemon is supported as well).


PLAYING THE GAME

    Run ./myth2_demo in the main demo directory to start the game. The game
    will go fullscreen if it can, without requiring root privileges.

    The first time you run Myth II it will create a .loki/myth2_demo directory
    in your home directory.  Saved games, preferences and plugins will be
    stored here.

    The following arguments may be given to Myth II:

        [-h | --help]           Display this help message
        [-v | --version]        Display the game version
        [-f | --fullscreen]     Run the game fullscreen
        [-w | --windowed]       Run the game in a window
        [-s | --nosound]        Do not access the soundcard
        [-a | --alt-colors]     Use alternate colors for the map view
        [-x | --x11cursor]      Use the X11 hardware mouse cursor
        [-g | --gllibrary]      Set GL dynamic library to use

    Use the ScrollLock key or Ctrl-G to toggle mouse grabbing.

    Use the Pause key or Ctrl-Z to iconify the game when it is run in a window.

    Use Alt-Enter to switch between fullscreen and windowed mode.

    The Print Screen key will save the current screen to:
      ~/.loki/myth2_demo/screenXX.ppm
    (where XX is a number starting at 0).

    If the Print Screen, Scroll Lock, Pause, or Alt-# keys are not working
    make sure your window manager is not overriding them.

    String widgets have standard UNIX keybindings.

        Ctrl-A - Move to beginning of line
        Ctrl-E - Move to end of line
        Ctrl-B - Move backwards
        Ctrl-F - Move forwards
        Ctrl-U - Erase line
        Ctrl-D - Delete character
        Ctrl-C - Copy to X clipboard
        Ctrl-V - Paste from X clipboard

    Dragging the middle mouse button will move the playfield.


X11 SETUP

    Myth II requires XFree86 version 3.2 or later to run.

    In order to get fullscreen modes, you must make sure that the video
    resolutions you intend to use are properly enabled in your XF86Config
    file. We recommend you to have at least 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768
    since those are used by the game.


NETWORKING

    On Bungie.net, you may not be able to join games hosted by people using a
    different version of the game or playing on some levels you don't have.
    The games you can join are displayed in white in the list of games.

    For this demo version of the game, you can only join games on the provided
    map (Gimble In The Wabe), playing with the "Last Man on The Hill" rules.
