 The first 2 labs will be following this guide and getting familiar with the Ogre3D environment.

+In step 1.2 change the path from ''plugins_d.cfg'' to ''../LabFiles/OgreConfig/plugins_d.cfg''
+<code cpp>
+Ogre::Root* root = new Ogre::Root("../LabFiles/OgreConfig/plugins_d.cfg");
+</code>
+Additionally in step 3.1 change the path from ''resourcfes_d.cfg'' to ''../LabFiles/OgreConfig/resourcfes_d.cfg''
+<code cpp>
+cf.load("../LabFiles/OgreConfig/resources_d.cfg");
+</code>
 After line 2 in section 2 of the Guide, please add this line to the code. Since the Ogre 1.9 default Scene Manager does not set the ambient light by default like back in 1.7, we have to that our selves.
 <code cpp>
-	sceneManager->setAmbientLight(Ogre::ColourValue(0.3f, 0.3f, 0.3f));
+sceneManager->setAmbientLight(Ogre::ColourValue(0.3f, 0.3f, 0.3f));
 </code>
+A friendly note: In the guide #include ''"OGRE/Ogre.h"'' makes compiler go through a lot of jargon you are not using making compilation times horrible. Try to include only what you need, like so for Ogre::Root* ''#include "OGRE/OgreRoot.h"''.
+When you manage to run your first application and get the configuration dialog after section 1 of the guide, **Do not run it in fullscreen! Especially if you run it through the VS environment :)**
+Finally after you successfully render your first window, black or with Sinbad, do the following.
+  - Navigate to <your solution directory>/(Debug or Release depending what you built). There should be a directory for your first Lab project.
+  - In the first lab directory you should find ''ogre.cfg'', move it to the folder ''<solution dir>/LabFiles/OgreConfig/''
+  - Change the line <code cpp>
+Ogre::Root* root = new Ogre::Root("../LabFiles/OgreConfig/plugins_d.cfg");
+to
+Ogre::Root* root = new Ogre::Root("../LabFiles/OgreConfig/plugins_d.cfg","../LabFiles/OgreConfig/ogre.cfg");
+</code>
+  - This will guarantee that you will always be using the same configuration for all runs independent of the project you are working on.

 Your final results should look something like this:

-Upload your source files into Lab1 in MySchool (zip them up if more than one). The lab projects will not be graded, but their completion counts towards your labs grade.
