After starting up Steam, and then half-life to play NS, I find a server to play in, obviously. And when I get to that server, once I'm downloading all that other stuff needed to play it, and am ready to go, I get an error saying "WARNING: cannot open ns.wad." Can anyone help me? I searched for ns.wad in my NS folder thing, and it didn't find it.
I don't know if this will help, but you said to do it anyways:
- Make:Dell DIMENSION DIM46000, Speed: 1.6
- * Don't know, I think NVIDIA for Graphics card. :\ *
- Windows XP: Home Edition

Does natural- selection appear under third party games in your steam "games" list? If not it isn't properly installed.

I got both, it said too get 3.0 beta 1 first...
No, I don't think it does...How do I make it do that? x_X
I installed it in the Half-Life directory...Like it said o_o;
It should be something like 250-300 MB.
edit: maybe the first install went into the wrong folder, like half-life/half-life/nsp and the beta 3 patch created an allmost empty half-life/nsp/ folder?
edit: just installing the beta 3 patch into an empty folder and nothing else gives you ~60 MB of stuff and no ns.wad(~55 files).
But here's what it says:
<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Size: 97.0 MB (101,719,337 bytes)
Size on disk: 97.9 MB (102,682,624 bytes)
Contains: 437 Files, 38 Folders<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I think that the ns.wad is all thats missing. :\ Or not. >.<
Weirdness, it seems to have installed some of the files it was supposed to and then just stopped in mid install without giving error messages(no way to get such a number of files or nsp folder size otherwise, and if it was giving an error and aborting the install you would have noticed.) <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Oh wait...I'm so stupid...x_x
I thought I downloaded 3.0 beta 1, but I dl'ed 3.0 beta 3 twice...x_x
Sorry about this..Some of the links on the 3.0 beta 1 lead to the 3.0 beta 3...I didn't read what it said...So I dled beta 3 twice..I'll get back to you when I get done downloading it and installing it.
Sorry about this <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
