Working on the FBE computers

Some of you may want to use the FBE computers for Crysis when your models start getting complex and your computer starts slowing down noticeably.

Things to remember when working on the FBE computers.
-Don't work across the server. If you are accessing files such as documents/images/videos from your "student home folder", copy them to your local D: drive first. Then mess about with them, then copy them back to student home. This way if the server drops out, or if you connection to the server is severed, then you won't loss any work.

-Don't use C: Drive as a storage place. The FBE labs rebuild their local C:\ drive upon reboot. This means if your computer crashes and you restart, any work left on C: will probably disappear. If you saved it on D: however, it will still be there!! So work on D: drive if you can.

-Using Crysis. There are two (2) folders that you need when you move your crysis work between computers (e.g. from home to uni; or maybe from your laptop to your desktop): 1) Levels folder. 2) Objects folder. These need to be placed in the Crysis Game folder. Remember to copy both folders when you log off.

-Backups. Make a backup of your work in different places. If you have it all on the same computer, then it isn't much use.
