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.
