    this is going to have to be my first post here... but i cant even get Ns to show up on the steam menu. I've followed the windows steam instructions about 12 times and still nothing. Can somebody please tell me what the hell else i have to do to make it work? i've noticed GCF files. is there a NS gcf file i have to copy into the folder with the other ones? please, tell me!

    ok, I don't know what you are doing, but this is the default way to install ns 3.0 b5 in steam:

    1st, run up steam and let it update it self and half-life
    2nd, start up HL (<b>one</b>) and play around a little in the trainingcourse - the best is, to make one or two savegames and complete the course.
    3rd, if you already downloaded the current version, execute the installer (normaly a .exe file)
    4th, if the installer completed the file operation without any error, run up steam again.
    5th: open your games tab ("Play Games" in context menu), and browse it <u>completely</u>. There is somewhere a line which says "third Party Mods" (below the MY GAMES list and above the Tools) - right after that are your installed mods. NS 3.0 beta 5 does not show up in the official games list, so its down there.
    double click it. set your options. join a server. have fun.
    i hope you have already read some new-by faqs.

    ok. that's the part i don't have. a "third party mods' line. it doesn't exist. therefore, i have a new question. how do i get that thing to show up?

    I'm pretty sure that I missed nothing - did it absolutely the same - maybe you didn't restarted steam?
    Maybe you installed it in the wrong folder?
    (the right one is, if you take the default directory, suggested by the steam installer, C:\valve\steamapps\<i><youremail@host.~~~></i>\half-life\ - the sub folder NS will be created by the installer itself. if you enter it in the path, it will create ..\half-life\ns\ns - and then be unable to run nor find it)

    ^^^ when i followed your directions it was a little different. in the half life folder it has NSP and in there NS but when i click on the NS it takes me to HL and there are no NS servers.
    C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\myemail@server.com\half-life
    C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\myemail@server.com\half-life\nsp
    ^^^ that is as far as it will go then the Game starts up HL. so im confused.

    nsp is beta 4 - it's beta 6, too, but its only for closed beta testing, and i dont expect that you would ask here if you are PT/Consti.

    I repeat: Beta 4 is out of date.
    Uninstall it through deleting ..\NSP (or use an -maybe- included uninstaller) and install then, after a reboot, NS Beta 5.

    is gunfodder your EMail address? Where is the host? it has to be gunfodder@host.domain... Also, Half-Life\Half-Life looks... weird. Try Half-Life\NS.
    Especialy when the lower Half-Life folder is empty except the NS folder.
