MangoHud instructions

1. Install MangoHud overlay package to your Linux distribution appropriately. More information can be found here.
2. (Optional) install Goverlay application which allows you to configure MangoHud overlay with graphical UI.
3. Edit ~/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf with the following contents (read the in-code comments):

legacy_layout=false

background_alpha=0.6
round_corners=0
background_alpha=0.6
background_color=000000

font_size=24
text_color=FFFFFF
position=top-left
toggle_hud=Shift_R+F12
pci_dev=0:0b:00.0
table_columns=3
gpu_text=GPU

gpu_temp
cpu_text=CPU

# Update to your preferred logs location here:
output_folder=/home/user/mangohud_logs

# Set this to maximum log duration (in seconds). It will autostop after this duration, which is useful if
# you know the duration of your benchmark, otherwise set to something large, like 9999...
log_duration=90

# If your application starts right into the benchmark - setting this to e.g. '10' gives game 10s to load. If you
# don't want it to autostart logging the data - leave this set to '0'.
autostart_log=0

# Set this to interval of how frequently logs are collected (in miliseconds). '100' is what I use, 50 provides
# more data and is suitable for short benchmarks, while 200-500 is suitable for (very) long benchmarks.
# 
# NOTE - If you are comparing Linux and Windows, then make sure this value is identical in both!
# 
log_interval=100

toggle_logging=Shift_L+F2

When you start the game, overlay should be visible. Pressing SHIFT+F2 starts the logging and either it ends due to log_duration value, or can be manually stopped by pressing SHIFT+F2 again. Note that there is an indication in overlay, where it shows big red dot, indicating that recording in progress.

After recording is done, you might end up with (or without) *-summary.csv file. This file can be deleted. Then there is <game>-<timestamp>.csv file - rename it to a label that you want to see in the website. Something like Linux or something else (with or without .csv extension) will work.
