Ns Has Cloned Itself

VashVash Join Date: 2002-11-12 Member: 8333Members
<div class="IPBDescription">and it scares me</div> Does anyone else see this, when you click on "Custom Game" from default HL, to choose a mod, I see NS on there 3 times. One of them says version 1.0, the other two say 1.3, but the second 1.3 has less there (The normal ones have like 2 lines, the second one only has one). Usually I don't change the game like this, just connect to a server and let it change the mod on its own, but I was trying to start a LAN game to test out a bot and i couldnt figure out which one to use o_o Anybody else get this?

    Just for reference you can open NS directly. Go to the folder Sierra/Half-Life/NS and there is an NS icon in that folder. Just create a shortcut of it to your desktop - now open that instead of the half-life icon.

    Under my "custom games" menu, Natural Selection is listed 6 times <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Strange....in my HL console browser thingy it only shows up once. You guys wouldnt happen to have more than one install of NS in you HL dir would you?

    That's odd, but it really shouldn't matter. Just filter for ns servers, and it will switch to that mod automaticly. I don't bother with that anymore, since I use ASE <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    if you reinstall over NS without uninstalling it. you will get more then one installion of NS. the folders in your half life folder will have a name like NSbackup or sometihng with numbers in it. and yes your version of NS is version 1.0 not 1.04 because the patchs/updates are for servers only

    It's a known bug. If you use the shortcut, sometimes it screws up and you have to launch it manually. On mine, nothing shows up under custom, unless I hit refresh, but then it only lists 3 mods...and I don't have ANY of them...never even heard of two of them.
