<div class="IPBDescription">keeps pointing to hl ns</div> When i run HLSD from the downloaded hlserver standalone, it always points to the ns folder in the

half-life/ns folder. Its weird cuz i already have the ns server downloaded and put into the hlserver folder. Any suggestions?

    sorry i think i better work that better <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I mean this:

    Ok, I download hlserver4110, and installed ns in the folder "ns" in c:\hlserver. When I run hlds.exe, it takes the server.cfg file from the c:\sierra\half-life\ns folder, when it should take it from the c:\hlserver\ns one. Any suggestions why its doing it?

    because you are trying to run it form the ingame menu instead of from a shortcut?

    i mean, really man, come on...

    if you can't even navigate or understand windows how do you expect to run a decent game server?

    If you just start HLDS then you start a dedicated HL Server.

    You must add -game ns after HLDS.exe

    c:\Games\HLServer\HLDS.exe -game ns

    RTFM.

    ambush: navigate into your c:\hlserver directory and right click on hlds.exe and create shortcut.. then right click on it > properties and add your server parameters from there.

    the <b>start in</b> should be : c:\hlserver

    and target as you posted above.

    so you run it with this but it uses server.cfg from your game installation?

    am i understanding you correctly?

    correct. so in this case the -game ns switch tells it which game you want it to host.. and it will default to the NS server.cfg
