ACCESSING UT2004 AND THE EDITOR IN THE FBE COMPUTER LABS

HI ALL, TO ACCESS UT2004 AND THE UNREAL EDITOR IN THE FBE COMPUTER LABS YOU HAVE TO DO THREE THINGS.



1. CLICK START > ALL PROGRAMS > CAD + DESIGN > STEAM



2. LOG INTO STEAM. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A USERNAME AND PASSWORD THEN CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT. DON'T LAUNCH THE UT2004 GAME AT THIS POINT, YOU ARE JUST STARTING STEAM SO THE EDITOR CAN LAUNCH THE GAME WHEN YOU HIT THE PLAYTEST BUTTON.



3. GO TO THIS FOLDER IN THE COMPUTERS C DRIVE:



C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\unreal tournament 2004\System



RIGHT CLICK ON UnrealEd.exe AND CHOOSE SEND TO DESKTOP (CREATE A SHORTCUT). MAKE SURE YOU SAVE YOUR WORK REGULARLY AND REMEMBER TO SAVE THE MAP/S YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING ON TO YOUR MEMORY STICK, OR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE BEFORE LOGGING OFF.

IF YOU JUST HIT SAVE WHEN YOU WERE WORKING ON YOUR MAP IT WOULD BE SAVED HERE:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\unreal tournament 2004\maps

CHEERS

I AM TRYING TO GET UT2004 FROM THE FIRST WEEK OF EXP2. I STILL DON'T HAVE THE SOFTWARE BECAUSE THE INSTRUCTION WAS SO UNCLEAR AND THE DOUNLODING PROSSESS WAS SO TIME CONSUMING.SPECIALLY IT WOULD BE MORE HELPFULL IF THE STEPS WAS ON YOUR BLOG INSTADE OF THE LECTURE-5.

ALSO IF YOU KNEW THAT MOST OF THE STUDENTS WILL HAVE PROBLEM JUST TO GET THE SOFTWARE THEN YOU ALSO COULD ASK US TO GET THE SOFTWARE BEFORE THE EXP2.

I AM ALREADY FALLING BEHIND BECAUSE I DONT HAVE THE SOFTWARE. ONE MORE THING I WANT TO MENTION THAT I WENT TO THE COMPUTER LAB IN FBE BUILDING TO USE THE SOFTWARE AND I COULD NOT USE THEIR COMPUTER BECAUSE THERE WAS A TUTORIAL CLASS AND THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH COMPUTERS. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME I WENT THERE, SPENDED 3 HOURES TRAVELING AND HAD TO COME BACK BECAUSE OF FBE COMPUTER LAB DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH COMPUTERS.

Hi Anonymous, yesterday there were 1.34 million people using steam at the same time, so I wasn't expecting any problems with the 200 students in ARCH1101 being able to use it. I would be genuinely interested to hear how the instructions were unclear. I mentioned in the lectures that the computer labs would likely be booked from 9am - 6pm and that you should plan visits around those times. I notice there are plenty of machines available early in the morning, late at night and on the weekends.
