Help - Need Instructions To Setup Local Server

dritz

<div class="IPBDescription">Need Help With Setting Up A Local Server</div> Been playing Natural Selection for some time now but have never got into being a Comm due to the chance of finding people who don't mind letting you muck around and learn. I want to setup a home lan download some bots and do some practise at home before going online <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
Have downloaded the bots and all the dedicated server stuff (V 1.04) but cant get it to work. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
When I launch NS, create game, lan game I dont get any NS maps just old Half Life maps. Does anyone know where I can find some step by step instructions to do this. Once I have this working I can tackle getting the bots working.

Please be firm yet gentle <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

This is from my help page on my site, just incase you haven't read it...

If you are using Natural - Selection Version 1.0 MOD, it has a 'corrupt' shotcut to play Natural-Selection which can sometimes cause the bot not to work. To fix this follow these steps...

Open the folder where the Natural-Selection windows shortcut is that you load Natural-Selection with
Right click on the Shortcut icon.
Select properties
Look for the "Start in" text box and type your Half-Life folder location in it (for example C:\SIERRA\Half-Life)

This is also how to fix your maps problem.
