    i as so many other people are, am getting the version **** and i have dled the dummy. anything you can tell me to help would be great. WHY O WHY DOESNT ANYTHING WORK LIKE ITS SUPPOSED TO???

    ok for the people who are experiencing version crap i have come up with a solution if you have counter strike retail then under the sierra folder just make a new folder and name it "Half-Life" and copy the dummy in there with you cstrike.exe and your hlds icon thingy (dont know if the cstrike.exe and the hlds thingy are rquired they where just in there when i got mine to work). then run your ns like normal and i think you it should install (atleast it did for me)

    ok i installed it but i have encountered a few problems along the way ill try to figure it all out and if i get it ill let you know

    ok forget every damn thing i said. i have figured it out and i tryed the game and i can enter games and everthing. And this is very simple. Just rename your Counter Strike folder "Half-Life" and you should be good to go (be sure to have the dummy hl icon in that folder.if this doesnt work for you then i say sry i dont know what to tell you

    Have you ppl tried not using your NS desktop shortcut? Because that will fix most problems after you installed it.
  • sheepssheeps Join Date: 2003-02-02 Member: 12998Members
    I'm confused, can someone clariify on what I should do if it says I need to install NS before I play..
  • GrizzlyNSGrizzlyNS Join Date: 2003-02-09 Member: 13353Members
    Allright for all you people that are having problems ill explain ALL ... well ill try ok here i go :

    First of all make sure you have all that is required. dont go off installing NS when you have a pentium 2 500 or something.. thats just plain dumb.

    1.Problem 1 - Having trouble installing? Do you get "You need 1.1.1.0 or 1.3 to install" ? ok you can download the dummy and replace the other hl.exe and then install it from there.

    2.problem 2 - When you try to join a server does it say something like "the server has custom game installed and you need to have custom game installed to play"? well all you need to do is right click on the ns icon on your desktop > go to properties > look at Start in and see if its directed to teh right place > if not change it to c:/sierra/counter-strike if its c:/sierra/Half-life or the other way... you know what i mean.

    3.if you get any other errors that means you did it wrong or your computer is jsut crap.

    P.S. - THIS GAME IS SO FUN! ITS LIKE STARCRAFT in 3d! really fun.. gl

    ok i did all that and then i linked the shortcut to cstrike.exe and then to see if it worked i started a LAN game and it plays regular CS.

    <edit>
    nevermind, i read a littl ebit more and then used the custom game menu in CS and it worked ;x

    okok... first of all. make sure u d/l the right file. make sure u have ns not the dedicated server. then when u have it. just take the hl dummy and stick it in Counter-Strike folder c:/sierra/counter-strike. when the dummy is in, run the installer and make sure u choose the path where the dummy file is. thats how u get it to work =/ (btw. make sure ur cs is patched to 1.5) and when is done. remove the shortcut to go to ns. it messes things up and u cant play with that. so delete it and run counter strike. then go to custom click and activate natural selection

  • EradErad Join Date: 2003-04-01 Member: 15097Members
    hmm im having a prob that sounds like a lot here, but differs..
    i have CS retail 1.5 installed and i then installed NS (as you have said using the dummy etc and it is all loading up A OK) but when i go to join a game it errors saying something about needing the custom version to play a custom game. I thought that it may have been because the game i was trying to join may have been via lan, but it does the same error for every server i try to join...

    Delete the NS shortcut from your desktop, and use the one at Start | Program | Natural Selection | Launch Natural Selection

    Heres a way, Open up Liblist.gam in your cstrike directory and change it to your normal directory such as C:\Sierra\Counter-Strike\dlls\mp.dll
  • ExCaLiBuRExCaLiBuR Join Date: 2003-05-29 Member: 16827Members
    Well, i installed it and everything, and it works, its just that whenever i join a game about five seconds, or when i try to join a team, i get kicked and it says Server protocal is 1701890 instead or 46...... can i fix this? i havent been able to play lately because of it.

    As far as I know, that issue is caused by Cheating-Death servers. Are you running the CD client? If not you may want to install it, as people say it squares away the issue...

    Hey guys, I got a new problem for you.
    I recently bought Day of Defeat Retail and it installs mods. I wanted to get NS but it said I needed HL or CS retail. You guys know a way to fix it?
