Ns And Cs 1.6 Again

Akisohida · June 2005

Ok, as I said before, I got NS to work by altering the 'target' path of a Steam shortcut. Now, when I run that shortcut, I get asked to install Souce Dedicated Server..help? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />

Edit: It is helps, my target has '-silent -applaunch 205 -steam -game ns -console' added onto it. I copied my instructions the day I got them and all I have for adding is '-steam -game ns -console' but if I now edit may target to '-steam -game ns -console' then it just open steam. I assume the problem is the '-applaunch 205' line. If I knew what to change the number to, I think it would run NS..I think?

My shortcuts always runn applaunch 70...

Let's C.

Yes, 205 corrosponds to the source dedicated server and 70 to the Half Life engine.

I have no idea how it worked before (Maybe before the dedicated server was out? Before an update?) but try using 70. If nothing else it may be because of the recent HL1 engine update.

Now it opens the 'browse games' window <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /> My FULL path looks like this

C:\Valve\Steam\Steam.exe -silent -applaunch 70 -steam -game ns -console

When you get this to work, give me a mini walk through, and I will add this to my tutorial.

DaJMasta · June 2005

If it helps, I made a shortcut and it showed me this for the path:

</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>F:\Steam\steam.exe -applaunch 70 -game "ns"</td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

The quotes maybe?

Akisohida · June 2005

Nope! I tried adding quotes to mine and then I compied your -applaunch 70 -game "ns" and both still brought me to the browse games window

Akisohida · June 2005

Wait! When I try to run any hl program, it says I am missing a DLL..could that be why I get brough to the the browse games window? hl engine can not run? ..But then CS should not work..correct? CS works fine, I just can not seem to play NS or S&I.

DaJMasta · June 2005

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just made my own shortcut from scratch using hl.exe, and it works.

</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>F:\Steam\SteamApps\my email :P\half-life\hl.exe -game ns</td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

Its not that i don't trust u guys.....i just dont like excessive amounts of spam <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

[EDIT] and if ur missing a .dll, i dont know if it checks, but try to verify your .gcf files for half life.

Akisohida · June 2005

Your way would work, DaJ, but I do not have half-life the game. Just the app that came with CS. I just tried your way via steamapps/counter-strike and using the hl app and it started CS. So I tried it with hlds and it said steam.dll was not found.

DaJMasta · June 2005

well HLDS is the half lide dedicate server, so it makes sense <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Ill try to get my CS to launch NS....

Akisohida · June 2005

It worked fine till I DLed the HL2 demo..Hmm..perhaps uninstalling that could help?

DaJMasta · June 2005

maybe, but could u tell me what directories you have in your steam\steamapps\your email\ folder?

I can't get NS to launch with cs's HL.exe or applaunch 10 (CS's applaunch).

Maybe also where the NS folder is installed, it was in my \half-life\ directory

Akisohida · June 2005

codename Gordon
condition zero
condition zero deleted scenes
counter-strike
half-life 2 demo

edit: origonally, it ran on the target C:\Valve\Steam\Steam.exe -steam -game ns -console but then it changed on its own to C:\Valve\Steam\Steam.exe -silent -applaunch 205 -steam -game ns -console and even changing the 205 to 70 does nothing but open the browse games window.

(Recap in case saying it clearer allows people to help. Sometimes I confuse things when I get angry)

DaJMasta · June 2005

try changing the applaunch to 10 (since 10 is original CS) but if that dosen't work, look for the ns folder (its lowercase) in one of the listed folder and tell me which one.

Akisohida · June 2005

Tried it with 10, just runs CS. The ns folder is located in C\valve\steam\steamapps\akisohida\counter-strike

DaJMasta · June 2005

Maybe try restarting steam or reinstalling NS. I don't really know whats wrong, but i'll try to figure something....

'tis an odd problem.

Akisohida · June 2005

Ok, I will reinstall NS and then reboot my computer

Akisohida · June 2005

back. -silent -applaunch 70 -steam -game ns -console still gives me the browse games window. It's like it can not find the hl engine anymore <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />
