I think I know why NS isnt working for me, but

whenever i try downloading NS 3.1, it doesn't ask me where I want to download it but it automatically downloads it in the WRONG place.

So does anyone know how to change settings so I CAN decide where I wasnt to install it?

Or Do I have to Redownload it from a website?

If I do (have to redownload it) can someone mirror it here?

    NS 3.1 is out??

    OMG where?

    Last I knew ns 3.0 beta 4a was the latest out. If that's what you really mean then the rest of your issue appears to be a browser usage problem.. Try right-clicking the download link and choosing 'save file as..' which should allow you to choose the directory where you save the file.

    If you do have links to ns 3.1 pls post! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Ok

    Take a deep breath, and check to see if "caps lock" is off. Great big letters get great big flames.

    Now,
    The only reason the installer would be installing (NOT downloading, that's the process of taking information from a large network to a smaller one, ie the net to your PC,) to the wrong place was if there was some key in the registry. This would be the case if you have REINSTALLED. Reinstalling will install to the same directory as the game has been previously installed to.

    Uninstall instead.

    Then reinstall to the "correct" directory. (There is no correct directory, so I suppose you mean your preferred directry.)
    Note you must install the ns betas to the HALF LIFE directory in steam, NOT NSP.

    Ie:
    c:\program files\steam\steamapps\lolyourface@aol.com\half-life

    HTH

    as a continued note, the 4a beta must beinstalled to c:\program files\steam\steamapps\lolyourface@aol.com\

    NOT Half-Life (atleast with certain installers)

    this is why my instructions tell you to search for NSP, if you find it in:
    c:\program files\steam\steamapps\lolyourface@aol.com\Half-Life\Half-Life\nsp

    that should tell you something.

    mine just says my name, not @aol.com, is that supposed to ha[ppen?

    and how am i supposed to uninstall it, cause i don't see an option... yyah i know im a n00b

    so 4 goes into halflife, and 4a goes into email, right?


    to get rid of the nsp folder if i wantted to restart, couldn't i just delete?

    Which looks better:

    a)
    c:\program files\steam\steamapps\lolyourface@aol.com\Half-Life\Half-Life\nsp\nsp\nsp\nsp\nsp\nsp\nsp\nsp\nsp\nsp\nsp\nsp\nsp\nsp\nsp\nsp

    OR

    b)
    c:\program files\steam\steamapps\lolyourface@aol.com\Half-Life\Half-Life\nsp

    ...

    Well, tbh, you could have been.

    Sorry, I should not be mean. Easy now; at least I did illustrate the point.

    Generally, in installations, nested folders of the same name are a sign of bad installation.

    Sorry, I registered for AIM such a long time ago, I cannot remember which pswrd I used.

    /me looks sheepish.

    Password recovery is borked for soem reason too.


    However,
    MSN and YahooIM are in my profile information. (Won't put them here to avoid harvesting)
    166248906 is ICQ

    The links in my profile do that too.


    Just for you, I will try to get this blasted AIM working.

    This is an interesting saga, considering the other post by LOLyourFACE in this forum. Please keep us posted on the outcome.

    The bets are:

    LOLyourFACE is:

    - scamming (even odds)
    -is 10 years old ( 2-3 odds)
    - is truly in need of help ( 1-10 odds)

    Place your bets.
