2) Play HL atleast Once via Steam (just booting up the training mission will do).
3) Download these 3 files:
ns_install_v3_b1.exe
ns_v30_b4_patch.exe
ns_v30_b4a_patch.exe
4) Install NS V3.0 Beta 1 (ns_install_v3_b1.exe) (This should auto install to steam\steamApps\your@email\half-life\nsp, if it does not, move the NSP folder there).
5) Install NS V3.0 Beta 4 (ns_v30_b4_patch.exe) (point this at steam\steamApps\your@email\Half-Life\ do NOT include the NSP).
6) Install NS V3.0 Beta 4a (ns_v30_b4a_patch.exe) (See * at bottom).
7) Search your Hard drive(s) for folders named nsp.
8) If you have more than one you messed up. Goto Step 3.
If you folow these steps properly you will not get client.dll or map.bsp errors.
If you are positive you have followed them corectly then redownload the installer form a different location.
*There aslo seems to be a bug with, atleast some of, the 4a installers. Try pointing it at steamApps\your@email\ instead of steamApps\your@email\half-life
Note: This is a file stored on my desktop because I have to use it so many times.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

IT STILL DOESNT WORK !!!
the clientdll thing still comes up !
Does God hate me ?!?
I beleive its a possibility !!
is their any hope for me to play NS one day ?
Peace !
You did something wrong or missed something out, it means that you have an older version of NS.
Make sure you downloaded all the patch files like patch 4 and patch 4a.
make sure Halflife is fully up-to-date before starting the NS installs..
after each NS install (v3 / v4 / v4a) run NS to make sure it's all ok - then quit, and install the next one....
it will work - last resort is to download all the files again
If you go through installing them sequentially, and at the end have only one NSP folder, then you have won. Welcome to the finest HL gaming available - where our installers make you WORK for your gaming, so it tastes all that more the sweeter when you finally get it going <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
EDIT You MAY need fmod.dll to get it running, but lets just try everything else first.

Seriously man - ur missing out. 3.0b4a is a hell of a lot better than v2, and soon NS is going to migrate entirely to steam and WON will be shut down.
Its a little tricky getting steam going an all, but the rewards are huge. I cant recommend enough you take a some time now to figure it all out. If you like I can type a very step by step guide that should leave you with zero questions.
First off, find and install steam. From what you've told me, thats what you've already done. I take it you've cranked up steam and played the training mission once. Go now and find any folders called NSP in steam and kill them/delete them.
Now quit steam entirely. Shut it down by right clicking on the icon down the bottom and saying close. Then find ns_install_v3_b1.exe - make sure its that file exactly. Install it, this should auto install to steam\steamApps\your@email\half-life\nsp, if it does not, find the NSP folder and cut then paste it there.
Now find ns_v30_b4_patch.exe. Run that. At some point it will ask you for a file path. point it too steam\steamApps\your@email\Half-Life\ do NOT include the NSP folder though.
Now find "ns_v30_b4a_patch.exe" Make sure it has that a next to the b4, or you've got the wrong patch. Install that file. Now do a search of your harddrive for folders named NSP. If you have two, find the one that isnt at halflife\nsp. Take that NSP and copy it over the top of halflife\nsp.
If you've only got one NSP folder, then everything should be peachy. Fire up steam, check your games list. You should see NS under 3rd party games. If it is, then you have won. Try to join a server. Report back.
I finally made it work, after over an hour of stressing and eating...
This is how i did it !
I uninstalled everything and reinstalled it as u said, but this did not work, so i uninstalled it all again, and instead of loading them as u said i found all of my updates from yonks ago
And Updated NS from Version 2-3.4a beta at a time
There was about 8 update .exe to install and i did that in order and now it works
Thanks for the help !!

Download and install Steam
Run Steam to let it update the steam engine
Right click steam icon in tray --> games
double click "HalfLife"
it'll update halflife to the newest version, and it'll update the engine
When it's finished, hit "Play game"
If you dont' see Gordon standing staring with a shotgun, go to the beginning and start over.
Exit halflife
Download the 3 Natural Selection patches.
ns_install_v3_b1.exe
ns_v30_b4_patch.exe
ns_v30_b4a_patch.exe
(get from www.natural-selection.org --> Downloads)
Run ns_install_v3_b1.exe - make sure it installs to the right place: This should auto install to steam\steamApps\your@email\half-life\nsp, if it does not, move the NSP folder there
Right cilck steam icon in bottom right --> games
some thign should have appeared under 'third party games' ... run it. then quit
then run ns_v30_b4_patch.exe
once thats done, run ns_v30_b4a_patch.exe ....
job done
^_^
Owell its a sacrifice im willing to make anyday of the week !!
Im off to enjoy some long awaiting NS CO !!!
happy gaming
