    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 folowed 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

    <!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->1) Search your Hard drive for ns and nsp.

    2) Deleate all folders named that.

    3) Start from step 3 in my guide.

    4) Make sure you are using the properly named files for each step, the file name is listed with the step.

    5) Make sure you point each file at the place listed with the step
    5a) The first one should auto install with no choice of destination
    5b) The second one goes to: Steam\SteamApps\your@email\Half-Life
    5c) The 3rd should probably go to Steam\SteamApps\your@email\

    6) After each install step in my guide (steps 4, 5 and 6) search your hard drive for nsp
    6a) If you find only one folder, and it is located at Steam\SteamApps\your@email\half-life\nsp then you are good to go.
    6b) If you have only one nsp but it is some where else, move it to that location.
    6c) If you have 2 nsp folders, then move the one that is not in that location, over writing all files when prompted.
    6d) Each time you move an nsp folder search your hard drive again for nsp to double check.

    I think it might workj, my freind had this same prob and he did it and it worked, i mean if it doesnt work then u can just reinstall everything i mean its worth a try instead of just deleteing steam 1st.

    I never said deleate steam

    just run the installers in the proper order.

    And if you missed the 4a installer (*as you probably did) then you will get client.dll errors also.

    just deleate the NSP folders, and reinstall the 3 files, it realy aint that hard.

    Yes, there was a bug in the bug database ( yet my search keywords don't seem to find it <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

    But yea deleting the maps and downloading them fresh from the server should work ( although sometimes it may not, hasn't happened in my experience )
