What Does The Pic Say?

<div class="IPBDescription">info</div> I am trying to register on steampower's forum but I cant becasue the pic that you're SUPPOSE to see doesnt show up for me! I am trying to get them to solve a big problem I have with playing NS on steam because I just got this awsome NEW computer but I cant play NS because when I go to load a server, the loading screen comes up then doesnt go away even when Im already in. I can heard myself walking around but it doesnt go away. I press Esc to show the Steam menu, but when I turn the menu off, I can see the level but only what it loaded while I was in the Steam menu area. This is usually ready room. Then I try to walk around agian but I only hear myself move and the screen starts to weird out. I cant stand THIS!!!!!!!!! DOes anyone know how to tranfer files over a network. My computer is sharing the internet with the computer that has NS working over the network. I dont have a DVD burner so I cant transfer the 2 gig Steam file. I tried 3 700mb disc but there was some data that just doent show up on the CD.

whoa... one problem at a time.

and make sure it's in the right forum. there is tech support.

transferring files over a network should be easy enough, especially under WindowsXP. just drop it into the "SharedDocs" folder. =P

if you're not using XP, or if you didn't use the Network Wizard, it's slightly more difficult.. but not by much.

just look up file sharing under whatever version of Windows you have on google.

as far as your steam problem, well I can't really help with that. but I can give you the corporate spiel: NS is not officially supported under Steam, as yet, so you can't expect it to work correctly. =P

3.0 will be 100% Steam compatible.

Yeh I know but it works fine on my other computer. Hmmmm, I just dont know what it is. I resently look at the console when I tried to play and it said the sprays are missing. I dont know what its talking bout.

That's a bug I get every once in a while. Restart Steam and go into a different server. I don't know what's causing it but the screen doesn't refresh itself. One time I had turned off hud_draw for some filming and later I experienced the problem. I turned hud_draw back on and it fixed it. (interestingly, I experience this on ns_bast mostly though I can remember it happening once on ns_caged)

I hope this helps, but I can't be sure.

If theres a picture there that you have to type in what it says, we cant help you, its different every time.. so you dont get spammers joining 5000 times with one bot

I had that same exact problem before. You join the ready room and the screen is black, but you can move around, and can here yourself moving around. When you bring up the consol the screen changes to the normal, but when you go back it changes to black. I forget how I solved this problem, but I think I just waited and tried later.

For the forum registration pictures:
Rightclick the spots where the pictures should be, click "Show Pictures"

The problem with the black RR thingy:
I sometimes have the same problem, however, it only comes up when i am tabbed out while NS connects to a server (Steam AutoConnect)
Usually, a simple restart of NS should work.
If i was you, first thing I'd do:
Uninstall Steam completely
Erase all left over data
Download Steam from www.steampowered.com
Install Steam
Download Halflife
Start Halflife, then exit.
Download the Steam NS 2.0 Beta (link can be found somewhere in this forum)
Install it.

Then it should work.

Edit:
If you have WinXP, networking should be easy, just rightclick the folder you want to transfer, and select "share", then enable network sharing
If you dont have WinXP, well, that would take some time, and would not be easy to explain in a forum
