UT2004 IN THE FBE COMPUTER LABS
HI ALL,
I'VE HAD SOME REPORTS OF UT2004 NOT WORKING IN OUR LABS. I'VE CHECKED AND IT WORKS FINE, BUT I THINK I KNOW WHY SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS THAT PEOPLE ARE USING THE UNREAL ED THAT IS ON EMUSTORE, BUT FINDING THAT IT WON'T LAUNCH THE GAME WHEN THEY HIT THE JOYSTICK ICON. THESE FILES WERE ONLY MEANT FOR COPYING TO YOUR COMPUTER, AND WHILE THE EDITOR DOES WORK THERE, THERE IS NO WAY IT CAN CONNECT TO STEAM AND THE UT2004 GAME FOR TESTING.
TRY THESE STEPS IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS:
1. MAKE SURE THE FIRST THING YOU DO IS LOG INTO STEAM, AND TRY PLAYING THE UT2004 GAME. (YOU'LL NEED TO HAVE PURCHASED THE GAME TO DO THIS, AND TO RUN YOUR CUSTOM MAP!)
2. IN LABS 3 AND 4 THE UNREAL ED IS ON THE START MENU UNDER "CAD AND DESIGN"
3. WHEN YOU ARE SAVING YOUR MAP USE "SAVE AS" AND SAVE IT HERE: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\unreal tournament 2004\maps
4. BUT REMEMBER TO COPY IT TO YOUR OWN MEMORY STICK BEFORE YOU LOG OFF!
5. IN LABS 1 AND 2 THE FIRST THING YOU DO IS LOG INTO STEAM, AND TRY PLAYING THE UT2004 GAME (ANY MAP WILL DO, IT'S JUST A TEST). SAME AS ABOVE.
6. IN LABS 1 AND 2, THE SHORTCUT TO UNREAL ED3 IS NOT ON THE START MENU.
7. SO YOU'LL FIND THE EDITOR HERE: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\unreal tournament 2004\System
8. USE "SAVE AS" AND SAVE YOUR MAP IN THE SAME PLACE AS ABOVE.
9. IN BOTH CASES MAKE SURE YOUR "SAVE AS" USES A CUSTOM NAME i.e. DM-ARCH1101YOURNAME01
10. THE "DM-" AND NO SPACES OR FUNNY CHARACTERS IS CRITICAL.

EXTENSION FOR EXPERIMENT 2
HI ALL, FOLLOWING THE STUDENT REP MEETING FOR ARCH1101 YESTERDAY I WOULD LIKE TO ADVISE YOU ALL THAT THERE WILL BE AN EXTENSION TO THE EXPERIMENT 2 HAND IN.
THE NEW DUE DATE IS MONDAY MAY 4 BY 9PM.
THIS EXTENSION WAS GRANTED IN PART TO ENSURE THAT YOU WILL ATTEND YOUR LECTURES FOR ARCH1101 AND ARCH1601 (ENVIRONMENT 1) ON THE LEAD UP TO YOUR MAJOR HISTORY ASSIGNMENT WHICH IS DUE THIS THURSDAY. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN THE CLASS THAT FEEL THAT THE EXTENSION HAS UNDERMINED THEIR TIME MANAGEMENT EFFORTS IN THIS EXPERIMENT AND I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE TO THEM FOR THAT. WHILE THIS IS ONE OF THOSE OCCASIONS, IT IS RARE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO OFFER EXTENSIONS AND IN PRACTICE EXTENSIONS OF TIME HAVE SERIOUS COST IMPLICATIONS. DEVELOPING STRONG TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR LONG TERM SUCCESS IN ARCHITECTURE, THE 'TASKS FOR TODAY', 'INDEPENDENT STUDY' AND LECTURE TASKS ARE DESIGNED TO PROMOTE THE CONSISTENCY OF YOUR PRODUCTION SO THAT OVERWHELMING RUSHES AT THE END CAN BE AVOIDED. THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE ABOUT TIME MANAGEMENT IS TO KEEP UP WITH THOSE.
OTHER OPTIONS CAN BE FOUND IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE UNSW LEARNING CENTER PAGE:
http://www.lc.unsw.edu.au/
AND THE COUNSELING SERVICE HAS SOME GREAT STUFF TOO (IN FACT WE'VE JUST MISSED THE TIME MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP, FOR THIS SEMESTER, WHICH WAS LAST WEEK).
http://www.counselling.unsw.edu.au/programs_workshops_seminars/programs_workshops_seminars_schedule.htm
I WILL BE INTRODUCING EXPERIMENT 3, AS TIMETABLED, THIS THURSDAY AND EXPECT TO SEE YOU ALL THERE.

ADVICE FOR THURSDAYS HAND-IN
HI EVERYONE, WE HAD A PRODUCTIVE CLASS REP MEETING TODAY.
THERE WERE A FEW CONCERNS RAISED ABOUT THINGS LIKE FINDING ONLINE RESOURCES, COMMUNICATION BETWEEN COURSES, SOME VERY SHORT LECTURES AND ADVICE FROM TUTORS.
ONE THING I PROMISED TO DO STRAIGHT AWAY WAS TO WRITE DOWN A FEW TIPS TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR SUBMISSION ON THURSDAY.
THESE TIPS ARE NOT FOR WHAT YOU SHOULD DO: THAT'S WHAT THE WHOLE COURSE IS ABOUT ...
THESE TIPS ARE WHAT YOU SHOULD AVOID: THE COMMON MISTAKES THAT STUDENTS MAKE THAT END UP COSTING THEM MARKS.
1. IF IN DOUBT CHECK THE BRIEF (THE ABSOLUTE FACTS ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT ARE THERE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING).
2. WE WILL BE MARKING EVERYTHING FROM YOUR BLOG, SO MAKE SURE THE SCANS YOU TAKE OF YOUR DRAWS LOOK GOOD WHEN THEY ARE UPLOADED (BLURRY IMAGES ARE BAD).
3. DON'T ADJUST THE BRIGHTNESS AND CONTRAST OF YOUR DRAWINGS TO GET THEM PERFECTLY BLACK AND WHITE. THEY END UP LOOKING REALLY FAKE .... THEY ARE HAND DRAWINGS AND WILL SHOW IMPERFECTIONS, THAT'S A PART OF WHAT MAKES THEM SPECIAL.
4. HAND IN IS 1:30PM, AFTER THAT TIME IT IS LATE.
5. CORRECT SPELLING AND GRAMMAR: ARCHITECTURE IS A PROFESSION, WHICH MEANS YOU NEED TO PRACTICE BEING PROFESSIONAL. CORRECT SPELLING AND GRAMMAR IS EASY TO CHECK, AND MAKES YOU SEEM VERY LAZY IF YOU HAVE MISTAKES.
6. WRITE SHORT CAPTIONS UNDER CRITICAL IMAGES, TELL US WHAT WE SHOULD NOTICE IN PARTICULAR (SUCH AS WHO THE SPACE IS DESIGNED FOR).
7. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR LINKS TO GOOGLE WAREHOUSE (GET YOUR FRIENDS TO SEE IF THE LINKS WORK ON THEIR COMPUTERS).
8. KEEP YOUR ANIMATIONS SIMPLE. 10 SECONDS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LONG TIME BUT TRY NOT TO RUSH YOUR ANIMATIONS. EACH ANIMATION ONLY NEEDS TO SHOW ONE THING. ANIMATIONS THAT SPEED ALL OVER THE PLACE END UP NOT SHOWING ANYTHING WELL.
9. DON'T SHOW THE SAME VIEW 10 TIMES.
10. THAT'S IT.
11. GOOD LUCK!
12. WE'RE ALL HOPING YOU'LL DO WELL.

NOTEBOOKS AND ARTLINE PENS FOR STUDIO
HI EVERYONE,
YOU CAN GET THE MOLESKIN NOTEBOOKS YOU NEED FOR STUDIO FROM THE UNSW BOOKSHOP. THEY ARE 140MM TALL AND 92MM WIDE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THE ONES WITH THE 5MM GRID.
THE QUAD STORE HAS THE 0.5 "ARTLINE" PENS THAT YOU NEED. THEY ARE KEEPING THEM BEHIND THE COUNTER SO THEY DON'T SELL OUT, SO YOU'LL NEED TO ASK FOR THEM.
DURING THE COURSE YOU'LL DO ALL OF YOUR DRAWING IN THESE NOTEBOOKS AND USE THE INK PEN SPECIFIED ABOVE, SO IT'S CRITICAL YOU USE THESE.
HERE IS A PICTURE OF BOTH TO REMIND YOU ...
CHEERS, SEE YOU TUESDAY
P.S. I NOTICE QUITE A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS OVER AT THE ARCH1101 FORUM, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OUTSIDE CLASS TIME THE BEST PLACE TO ASK THEM IS THERE.
