6. NS Without Half-Life (CS:CZ REQUIRED)
-------------------------------------------------
Assuming you are reading this section, You do not own the origional Half-Life. But this does not mean you have to live without Natural-Selection... That is, if you do own Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. This mini-tutorial will show you what to do to trick steam into playing Natural-Selection for you.
1. Broswe to your account directory. (i.e. C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\email@site.com)
2. Find the folder called Condition Zero. Copy it. So, now your account directory has "Condition Zero" and "Copy of Condition Zero."
3. Rename "Copy of Condition Zero" to "half-life" exactly as I have it written.
4. Double click your new half-life folder, and delet the "cstrike" and the "czero" folders.
5. Install NS here, like you would normally (Section 5 covers that.)
6. Open up your Play Games menu. Right-click on Condition Zero, and click "Creae desktop shortcut." Press OK when it notifies you that it made a shortcut to CS:CZ on your desktop.
7. Right-Click the new shortcut on your desktop, and click properties. Now, replace the text in the "Target" text box with this text:
CODE
"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 70 -game "ns"
Make sure that it will target your Steam.exe (it differs for computers.) When you are done, click OK.
From now on, whenever you want to play Natural-Selection, click on the icon on your desktop, and it should work.

From the described symptoms it just sounds like Steam is having none of it.
Really would like to resolve this issue. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Anyways, a few year(s?) ago I had Halflife1 running on my PC, I bought it and I have the key still. I found out about NS and installed it. I thought/think it was a really fun game, but I always played via gamespy. I never registered my key, I didnt knew I had to, and the suddenly gamespy didnt worked, I had to play via steam, but my key was by this time, already in use... So I can't use it for NS anymore..
So anyway, I now got CS:CZ, and I read about the that you might be able to play it with Steam..
The problem however:
When I start steam -> My games -> CS/CS:CZ/CS:CZ:Deleted Scenes.
I can install them, I registered the key, so when I did that(installed em all) I was looking through my steam file...
But somehow my games dont get installed in (/Accountname)
My games are installed in <b>F:/Program FIles/Steam/SteamApps/</b>
ALl thogether. Now Im not sure if I can install NS like this, so could anyone who has some knowledge or experience with NS running on CS:CZ shed some light on my problem and maybe get me on NS?
Many Thanks in advance <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
The directory where it should be installed is wrong or doesn't the whole installation work?
