The easiest way is to use <a href='http://www.gamespyarcade.com/' target='_blank'>Gamespy Arcade</a>. Click Half-Life then the Natural Selection room. Tadaa, it's done.

Is there someone playing ns without the "<a href='http://www.udpsoft.com/eye2/index.html' target='_blank'>all seeing eye</a>" or simular?

tseepra · May 2003

I would recommend <a href='http://www.hlla.net' target='_blank'>hlla</a>, because it's <b>completely</b> free and has the same features as ase.

That_Annoying_Kid · May 2003

personally HLSW pwns ASE, and google is your friend

Strycker · May 2003

I tried gamespy, didnt filter..
im tryin the all seein eye

Strycker · May 2003

im not good at comps really, and gamespy seems the easiest so i guess ill just ask people how to filter in gamespy

Maus · May 2003

No - use ASE, like people are suggesting. It may be a little confusing to set up at first, but once you've got that done you'll find it's a much better program than Gamespy, and very easy to use.

TacOne · May 2003

Yeah, gamespy just eats up your bandwith with ads.

ASE is a much better program once youre used to it.

Strycker · May 2003

well can somone give me a brief tutorial on how to use it

DizzyOne · May 2003

I use HL IRC Tool, its only a favourite list but good for me <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

I click Counter strike retail then theres
Version 1.005 and a bunch of that stuff
and I check one of those, click refresh, gives me a list of servers
but how do I get NS to be in that list

Strycker · May 2003

can somone just answer, im sick of lookin at a bunch of servers without NS on em

CplDavis · May 2003

I can do filters for all seeing eye, for both the game itself from other hl mods, then i can aslo add filters for file consistence, high/ pings, country the server is in all that stuff.

As i said, minimum hassle, <a href='http://www.gamespyarcade.com/' target='_blank'>Gamespy Arcade</a>. +NOT+ Gamespy 3D. It just works, and works fine with no **** around setting up filters and so on.

But all the other ones suggested are pretty good too. Myself, pfft, i'm just lazy and can't be arsed with setting them up.

cant figure out how to fillter on gamespy

KingKupo · May 2003

just go to internet games in the HL internal browser.select filter by the server list and then check the box before 'filter game' and then choose NS from the box that appears behind it. normally you should filter so only NS servers show up. but it doesn't work with stuff like firewall.

Strycker · May 2003

sigh..
I give up, been at this 2 days straight..
just cant figure it out..in Gamespy it wont work..
ASE wont work
.hlla wont work
ill just go back to regular counter strike..

The answer is that you are likely connecting through the desktop icon, which is bugged. Delete it, and connect through the start menu. Then you will be able to properly filter NS servers, by going to the Filter and selecting "Filter by game: NS."

Hope that helps.

just click on "Natural Selection" <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

The simplest method for you would be to use the Half Life Filter Menu under Multiplayer>Internet Games>Filter.

Filter for game "ns"
(You can also do tons of other filters in there)

HL in-game filter has always been quite sufficient for me.

JoltGris · May 2003

use Game tiger...
www.gametiger.com

FireStorm · May 2003

I'd reccomend HLLa instead of ASE. I really prefer it... And it has many more options than ASE.

Grubsnik · May 2003

Probably too late now.. but

the desktop shortcut is, as mentioned earlier, "bugged"

this means that if you try to start NS, it fails, the graphics is there, but single-player and load options are as well (they will be dimmed if NS is started)

3 ways to go around this:
<ul>
<li>1. start natural selection from the start menu
<li>2. start up in CS or any other mod, other than NS, go into the modviewer and select NS and load.
<li>3. fix the shortcut
<ul>
<li>Rightclick the shortcut and select properties (the one at the bottom)
<li>Find the Start in field (it should be empty)
<li>Type in the path to your Halflife directory (usually c:\sierra\halflife\)
<li>Click ok.
</ul>
</ul>

If you use either one of these "fixes" you should be able to select NS as gamefilter, and from there on it should just be smooth sailing.

Hope i got here in time,
Grubsnik
