Problems With Lan Games

sceadu

When I try to start a LAN game, I go through all of the steps and everything, but when I try to choose a map to play on, it only offers me the base HL maps, not the NS ones.. help?

Did you activate the NS mod from the custom games?

Seeing as I don't know what the hell you're talking about, I'd guess not.. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> Mind telling me how to? (thank you much for the help, by the way)

run HL, go to custom games, select NS, click activate. Your done.

alternate, run from shortcut to hl.exe with paramater -game ns e.g.
c:\games\half-life\hl.exe -game ns

can you play ns on the internet without problems?

did you upgrade hl to 1.1.1.0 before installing ns, and was it the full 1.1.1.0 patch or the 1.1.0.9-1.1.1.0 update?

did you install the full ns client - not just the dedicated server?

in your half-life/ns/maps/ folder do you have any .bsp files (ns_bast.bsp ?)
