Can I play NS with HalfLife2?
I downloaded it and installed it in steamapps/email/ns but I don't see it in the Play Games list. Someone help me please <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

if not yah gotta go buy HL1
if you did, simply go to browse games (from play games) and select to install HL <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

This will install beta 5 no matter what you have done before, so start at the begining!
1) Install Steam (Get the one with the HL cash if you can), if you have already installed Steam you may skip this step
2) Play HL Via Steam (just load up the training mission and then quit)
3) Search Your Hard Drive for NS.
4) Deleate ALL Folders with this name.
4a) If you have a previously working install of an earlier version that you wish to keep: You can rename all NS folders to NSBUP.
4b) If you have a previous install of NS, and wish to keep your configs, cimply copy your .cfg filles (normaly just config.cfg and userconfig.cfg, to your desktop)
5) Close Steam.
6) NS v3 (ns_install_v3.exe)
6a) Point the installer at Steam\SteamApps\Your@email\Half-Life
6b) If you backedup your config files, now is the time to move them to your NS folder.
7) Launch Steam
8) Change your filters so that the point at <b>Natural Selection</b>.
9) Connect and play.
10) If you get any errors (map.bsp, client.dll, or <b>ANYTHING</b>:
a) Search your HDD for NS, there should only be a dir called NS in your Steam\SteamApps\Your@email\Half-Life\NS, unless you backed up a previous install.
b) If it is ANYWHERE elese, try moving it to the correct place, or simply deleate it and start again.
If you still get map.bsp errors, or client.dllrors, start from step 3 again.
If you are POSITIVE that you hvae folowed the directions correctly, then redownload ns_install_v3_b5.exe from another location.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
But in the SteamApps folder I have the half-life.gcf file...
<i>Oh and I have Half Life, but I don't lost the cd key of it <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> </i>
silver comes with the back catalouge (in there is HL)
Play games --> browsegames (buttom button) --> Individual Games tab
scroll down to HL, there should be a button with it, click it. that should install HL (assuming you are doing this from an account that has HL2 silver)
there also should just be a greyed out selection from HL in your play games tab.
Thx for the help anyway
