Installation Problem

jonz0r

Heres the problem: I unfortunatly had to uninstall steam and when i reinstalled steam i also lost NS. So i went to where i saved the d/l at and i installed Beta 3 v5
Then i started steam up and when to filters>games> and there was no NS. I looked in my steam folder and its under halflife?

If you know anything that could provide a useful tip please post it here.

Make sure that you don't have two seperate steam directories.

if you read throught the insturctions it says you must play the HL demo?

Also make sure the folder is to the hl folder and that hl itself is fully up-2-date.

This will install beta 5 no matter what you have done before, so start at the begining!
1) Install Steam (Get the one with the HL cash if you can), if you have already installed Steam you may skip this step
2) Play HL Via Steam (just load up the training mission and then quit)
3) Search Your Hard Drive for NS and NSP
4) Deleate ALL Folders with these names.
4a) If you have a previously working install of an earlier version that you wish to keep: You can rename all NS folders to NSBUP and leave the NSP Folders alone.
4b) If you have a previous install of NS, and wish to keep your configs, cimply copy your .cfg filles (normaly just config.cfg and userconfig.cfg, to your desktop)
5) Close Steam.
6) Run the Beta 5 installer (ns_install_v3_b5.exe)
6a) Point the installer at Steam\SteamApps\Your@email\Half-Life
6b) If you backedup your config files, now is the time to move them to your NS folder.
7) Launch Steam
8) Change your filters so that the point at <b>Natural Selection(Beta 5)</b> Instead of <b>Natural Selection (Beta)</b>
9) Connect and play.
10) If you get any errors (map.bsp, client.dll, or <b>ANYTHING</b>:
a) Search your HDD for NS, there should only be a dir called NS in your Steam\SteamApps\Your@email\Half-Life\NS, unless you backed up a previous install.
b) If it is ANYWHERE elese, try moving it to the correct place, or simply deleate it and start again.


If you still get map.bsp errors, or client.dllrors, start from step 3 again.
If you are POSITIVE that you hvae folowed the directions correctly, then redownload  ns_install_v3_b5.exe from another location.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

And i also have beta 3 v 1 or whatever and i'd have to install 5 folders. And i dont think i **** up that much. I jsut deleted Steam and i reinstalled it with my old d/l. I read through ur very helpful guide. I looked into my steam>steamapps> and then i only See halflife?<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Before i saw Cstrike and other mods. Well anyways then i clicked halflife and i see NS folder along with unistallation for Steam. Well what iam going to try and do is uninstall Steam AGAIN. Reinstall Steam and then iam going to install an older version of NS(that is from dudes helpful guide) and then run install v3 beta 5 and if this doesnt work then i guess iam outta luck. OH and the reason i had to install was because i was 25 and 5 on a Counterstrike map and the admin sucked so i told him this and he did a stupid plug in where he bound all my keys and they wouldnt change back.
