Hi, I'm a final year Games Art student and I could do with a bit of help. I'd like to present my Final Year Project in a game engine and since my lecturer has been going on about UE3 all year I figured I'd use that since I was promised it would be installed on our lab machines eventually.
...It's now a month til handin, and there's still no sign of it because of some problems with installing it on student accounts - I don't know the details. But he did mention that someone had managed to work around this by installing UT3 on a portable HDD and bringing it into the labs to run it off that. Since I am totally reliant on the lab PCs(which are quad core monsters with 8GB of RAM, physX cards and all that) for this part of my FYP, that seems to be my only option. I've bought UT3, I'm acquiring a portable drive... but tell me, will this work? Can I run the installer at home, install to the portable drive, then bring it in to uni and run it off the drive on one of the machines there? Is there anything special I need to do to make it work?
I know nothing about Unreal Tournament itself(hate FPS games) and it wouldn't run in a million years on my laptop anyway, but I need to get my hands on UnrealEd3 and this seems to be the only way possible.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated :3
