 +===== To SSE2 or not to SSE2? =====
 +
 +By default, L3DT Pro uses a version if this plugin that was compiled to use //[[wp>SSE2]]// optimisations to accelerate the DXT1 compression algorithm. These extensions make SMT writing at least 10x faster, but are **only compatible** with the following processor lines:
 +  * Intel P4 or later.
 +  * AMD Athlon64 or later.
 +
 +If you are using an older processor, the SSE2-optimised plugin will **probably crash** (:!:). To switch to the un-optimised plugin, open the extension manager ('//Extensions->Extension manager//' in menu), disable the 'L3DTio_SMT_SSE2' plugin, and enable the 'L3DTio_SMT' plugin. On restart, L3DT will use the un-optimised plugin.
 +
 +===== Notes =====
 +
 +<note important>
 +This plugin is the back-end for the main Spring plugin ([[plugins:fileio:L3DTio_Spring]]), and has no user interface or options. To load/save SMT files, you must use [[plugins:fileio:L3DTio_Spring]].

 +
 +<note>
 +This plugin uses the [[http://sjbrown.co.uk/?code=squish|Squish]] library by Simon Brown for DXT1 compression/decompression.

 +Many thanks go to Tobi Vollebregt for assistance with decoding the SMT format.
