Setup NS in the Tool->Options->Game Configurations tab, spcifying the NS.FGD (it's in your NS Folder)

I also recommend getting zoners half-life compile tools if you don't already have them.

er..how big do you want them?

An info_ player_start entity is about the same height as a marine, if that helps..plonk one down and use that as a reference point..
