    I don't know if it is still needed with Steam, but way back I had to dl HL1.1.1.0. Its a large file 84M.

    Oh, BTW, did you run halflife first, just the training course should do it?

    Did you fully download Half-Life first? You need to do this first... Just to be sure, run HL once (just in the menu), quit, and then try NS.

    Also, make sure you downloaded:
    3 beta 1
    3 beta 4
    3 beta 4a

    Installed in that order...

    just to give you the full guide:

    don't forget to play HL atleas once

    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Install Steam.

    2) Play HL atleast Once via Steam (just booting up the training mission will do).

    3) Download these 3 files:
    ns_install_v3_b1.exe
    ns_v30_b4_patch.exe
    ns_v30_b4a_patch.exe

    4) Install NS V3.0 Beta 1 (ns_install_v3_b1.exe) (This should auto install to steam\steamApps\your@email\half-life\nsp, if it does not, move the NSP folder there).

    5) Install NS V3.0 Beta 4 (ns_v30_b4_patch.exe) (point this at steam\steamApps\your@email\Half-Life\ do NOT include the NSP).

    6) Install NS V3.0 Beta 4a (ns_v30_b4a_patch.exe) (See * at bottom).

    7) Search your Hard drive(s) for folders named nsp.

    8) If you have more than one you messed up.  Goto Step 3.


    If you folow these steps properly you will not get client.dll or map.bsp errors.

    If you are positive you have folowed them corectly then redownload the installer form a different location.

    *There aslo seems to be a bug with, atleast some of, the 4a installers.  Try pointing it at steamApps\your@email\ instead of steamApps\your@email\half-life

    Note: This is a file stored on my desktop because I have to use it so many times.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    NS is multiplayer only (yah do realize this don't you?)

    If you want it for a lan then your 2 options are:
    get Steam working (my suggestion)
    OR
    install NS then move the dir to your normal HL install (this is a bad idea as NS is now optomized for Steam)

    If you want it for bot play, the current bots are designed for Steam (I think)

    And if you thought that NS had a SP campaign...

    I am sorry <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
