Server1.2 Installed, Hl Says V1.0 ?

Geathaa

Hello everybody,

I just installed ns yesterday, so I'm a totally helpless n00b <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I installed the ns server zip file into my HalfLife folder, than unzipped the files which
contain the upgrades, overwriting any existing files. So I would expect my ns server
to be version 1.2. When starting HL and activating ns however, HL says ns is version 1.0.
Have I made some mistake or is this supposed to be ok?

becuase it's a HLDS console window I believe it will show the version of HL not NS
HL should be 1.1.1.0
NS should be 1.02

when a map begins/changes you should see in the console text something about it being 1.02 NS

Hmm. That's not the problem. HalfLife version is 1.1.1.0 all right. BUT: I'm
starting HalfLife, go to the menu option where you can select which installed
mod to activate, and there in this list, ns appears and the version listed there
for ns is 1.0. I select ns as mod, click "Activate", click "Play on LAN", check the
box "dedicated server" and click "Create". The server starts ok, but how can I
make sure that the server is running version 1.2 ? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Ooops. Sorry. Read first, reply later <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> I'll check the console text ...

that's a bad way to launch a dedicated ns server anyway.

make a shortcut to hlds.exe and then edit the properties to add to the command line

let's say your hlserver is installed on c:\ your command line for a dedicated server could look like this

c:\hlserver\hlds.exe -game ns +map ns_eclipse +maxplayers 16

-game ns = game type, natural selection

+map ns_eclipse = the map you want to kick the server off with. I usually choose the last map in the mapcycle.txt so that when it cycles it goes to the first of the list and cycles on down

+maxplayers = the maximum amount of players you allow to join the server at any given time

forgive me If I've oversimplified things but I can't tell how much you know about running dedicated servers

good luck !

I don't think the liblist.gam has been updated in the new versions, that's my guess as to why it says 1.0.

I believe Max is correct. Liblist.gam, which holds the version info, still says 1.0.

No big deal. Just change your server name to reflect the version.

u can manually change it if u want, open it with wordpad.

the version is 1.02 if it only shows the first few digits it would leave the 2 part off
