<div class="IPBDescription">Cant play NS</div> Hello,

this is for anyone who can help me, it would be greatly appreciated. When I try and log into NS it says that my NS executable is out of date, so then I click OK to update it, and it says that my version of half life is out of date but there are no updates available, so I can't play at all. What is going on.

Please leave a message on this forum or email me at ksmithso@mts.net

Thanks

    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-->

    <b> Slightly More Advanced Steps</b>

    <!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->1) Search your Hard drive for ns and nsp.

    2) Deleate all folders named that.

    3) Start from step 3 in my guide.

    4) Make sure you are using the properly named files for each step, the file name is listed with the step.

    5) Make sure you point each file at the place listed with the step
    5a) The first one should auto install with no choice of destination
    5b) The second one goes to: Steam\SteamApps\your@email\Half-Life
    5c) The 3rd should probably go to Steam\SteamApps\your@email\

    6) After each install step in my guide (steps 4, 5 and 6) search your hard drive for nsp
    6a) If you find only one folder, and it is located at Steam\SteamApps\your@email\half-life\nsp then you are good to go.
    6b) If you have only one nsp but it is some where else, move it to that location.
    6c) If you have 2 nsp folders, then move the one that is not in that location, over writing all files when prompted.
    6d) Each time you move an nsp folder search your hard drive again for nsp to double check.

    Here ends my Slightly more advanced Guide on how to friken install NSv3.0B4a

    It is now becoming another file on my desktop.<!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

    actualy, with atleast some of the 4a installers, there is a bug, where you have to point it at email@provider instead of half-life. (as it will try to install it to half-life\half-life\nsp instead)

    but yah, if you have only one nsp folder you should be good to go <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
