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.
