Ns Doesnt Show Up On Steam!

Rychonux

OK, here's what happened: I got a steam error, so i reinstalled steam. I then installed NS but realized i had to install half-life off of steam. So i installed half-life (ns was already installed before i installed half-life) played through the training level, but it still didnt show up on my games. so then, i tried re-installing NS and the patches, but it STILL didnt show up. then i restarted my computer. It still didnt show up (IM GOING CRAZY HERE!). And for some reason, it always says steam is working on the icon on the taskbar. ALL I WANT TO DO IS PLAY NS!!! Please help me!! <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

First, uninstall steam, halflife, and NS. Then:
1) Install Steam
2) Install HL
3) Run through the training level
4) Install NS & the patches (there should be 3 NS installs total)

I did what you said and it STILL doesnt show up!

EDIT: im gong to try downloading the ns installers from fileplanet, maybe thats whats wrong. im going to delete the NSP folder, and i think the installer is messed up because it looks like there are a TON of files missing.

how to install steam:
<!--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-->1) 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-->

I still cant get it working! i think there is something wrong with steam, as i have seen this topic a lot in this forum.

Do you use multible accounts? This will cause an issue, as your nsp folder must be within the steam\steamapps\your@email\half-life folder of the account you wish to use. If you have done everything correctly, NS should appear under Third-Party games.

have you installed the HL patches? Sounds stupid but it is a possible reason <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Rych: there is nothing wrong with steam.

and what Al said.
search your HDD for steamapps
if you have 2 of em, thats your problem probably
if only one look in it and see howmany folders are in it.

if more than one, thats your problem.
