SquoQuo's Mansion breakpoint 2003
M�hle!
We finally did it! The first release that was really finished BEFORE
the party, unbelievable! So I'm typing some stuff here to finish the
readme as well.
Given the improved feedback feature, the all-new shadow rendering,
the game "Luigi's Mansion" and our totally weird minds,we've created
some super-duper-feedback-galore-strange-lighting-weirdo-clown-stuff
Let's enter our Mansion!

Usability hints:
/===============/
Choose a resolution (just 32bpp modes from now on, sorry folks)
Fullscreen (i guess you know, what this does)
No sound (mainly for testing or buggy soundcards (never heard of that))
Show stats (gives you some infos)
Min. freq. (On WinXP/2000/NT system this will select the lowest shown refresh frequency.
Mainly for video probs, especially on beamers)
Use S3TC (Enables DXT5 texture compression. Doesn't do much to the quality, but speeds
up the whole demo by approximately 20-30%)
No feedback (Disables all feedback fx. Enhances the speed on slower computers, but removes
this substantial design element)
Issues:
/======/
Older cards don't support grabbing correctly in windowed mode. So if you get ridiculously low
frame rates, try running in fullscreen (which is always adviced)
If you've got a really old card (or you're getting sick of all the feedback effects), try the
"No feedback FX" switch to disable them. This will give you major speedup (about 2 or 3 times
faster) but will also totally remove this substantial design element
Always try the latest drivers, especially ATi cards have major speed issues with older drivers
(see Athlon XP 1700+ under WinXP in the table below)
