You sad sad man... Ok, I think you'll need the Half-Life installer, after that, install all "Third-Party" Mods into...
C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/YOUREMAILADDRESS/Half-Life
i lost my original half-life disc, and got a free cs retail disc from a buddy after a reformat w/o backup. therefore.
but i don't wanna go on an 'I think'... which you have there at the beginning of your sentence.
i'm gonna look around for FAQies.
are you SURE i get the half-life one?
That's what you have to do, but I don't know if Half-Life will work because you have CS. It probably will though.
If you feel you can't trust me, then go read a faq.
Now, if you want all the mods of Half-Life without having to download them later (the mods are DMC, Ricochet, OpFor, Day of Defeat, TFC, and CS) get the Full install, which is about 720 megs or so. This saves you the time of downloading the mods and all the content later. If you want CS and HL, get the CS Install, you get the picture.
Now, to install custom mods, install the mod anywhere so it has a "mod" folder. Then put it into C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\YourEmailHere\Mod Folder (such as NS).
In Third Party Games on the Steam Games menu, it should show up. Try to run it and it will take a few minutes and convert that mod to Steam file usage.
If that doesn't work, sorry.
2.)Wait a while
3.)Run steam- Beware it may take a long time to set up because it updates steams engine on first time run, so even if it goes non-responsive LEAVE IT ALONE FFS
4.)Install third party mods (NS/PT/S&I/ETC) to C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/YOUREMAILADDRESS/Half-Life
5.)Play
Tip: You need an original, clean cd-key. If you use a key that has ever cheated in any game it will ban you. If you use a key from someone elses steam account you will get error messages. You need 1 unique email address, 1 unique CD-key, per account. Have fun! add me to steam when finished- communistwithagun@hotmail.com (not my email for emails, just for steam)
I set up my Steam with my CS retail CD-key because one of my friends borrowed my HL-CD + case so I had no cd-key for it.
Then your CD key is prolly stolen, either that or YOU stole some1 elses, but we know you wouldn't do that now would you <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->. What kind of error messages are you getting? It would help if you told us.
Off-Topic - You obviously have a lot of posts so I would think you would be a little more clued in to making a thread title. "Instruct Me" doesn't help us at all, if you want help don't make stupid title for your threads please, its really annoying. Something like "help me get Steam working" would have been much nicer.
nobody is demanding anything here =\
