Will HLSW work with Steam?

If I install the Steam-client on my machine, can I configure HLSW to launch NS?

Will HLSW be able to find all my favourite servers as usual and connect to them?

    I was just on the hlsw.net site and the answer is yes. They have an explanation of how to make it work. I believe you must put hlsw.exe in the steam folder. But please check their site for verification on that.

    1. Are you refering to rcon and adminmod type commands? Yes but you can not use any wonid related commands such as kick or ban by wonid.

    2. I don't think hlsw can actually "launch" your server. Notice its name, HLSW = Half Life Server Watcher.

    3. Sort of. I tried this on a steam tfc server today and you can find and administrate your servers but steam servers can't be joined using hlsw, "yet". Hopefully there will be an update soon.

    Sorry, I was a bit vague in my question. However, HLSW homepage now says:
    "Today at 9 am cet, Steam 1.0 was published, which is necessary to play CS 1.6.
    The current HLSW-Version supports CS 1.6, you just have to do a little change in the settings.
    Instead of the hl.exe in your hl-directory you now have to enter the hl.exe in you steam.directory."

    So I'm guessing HLSW will still list my old NS servers even after they update to run under steam. I'm also guessing that if I set up my HLSW to launch hl.exe under the steam directory instead of pointing out the hl-directory, things should work...

    Haven't had the time to test this though.
