<div class="IPBDescription">NS will work with CS 1.6</div> I am not sure if it is not supposed too, like the makers do not want it too, or if they did not know it did but I DLed NS and have CS 1.6, given for free with CS: Condition Zero. By making a shorcut to the HL program and adding some commands to the target line (all of which was told to me by a friend, I do not know anough about computers to have done it myself), I can run steam and then run NS perfectly fine. I thought any of the people who made the game might be interested in knowing this but I will refrain from posting just what I added to the 'target' line in case it's like hacking or something.

TBH, I doubt anyone except valve would be annoyed if you posted such a hack, and they don't browse the forums. If it's unwanted, someone will report it, and it will get editted out.
PM someone (=Nem0) about it. Tell him Blue sent you. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Hah.
Additionally, if your hack is valid, the FAQ needs to be updated. (And it's my fault it says "NS does not work with CS1.6" in the first place... <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> )
lol, yes you can, all you have to do for CS 1.6 to work is to download either the full steam client or the CS only one, and you don't need to install HL1 at all. All you need is any HL key and you can use any original HL product through steam

Ah, but can you play NS on a bought copy of CS retail? I thought not, but orginal poster seems to disagree.
And you do need Hl1 to play cd1.6, in a manner of speaking. Once you've got Cs1.6 setup to play you'll notice Half-life has appeared on the "my games list". (If it hasn't, it will at least have had a large amount of it's cache downloaded,) as it's base cache is the same as that of CS 1.6
Somehow I doubt a few extra lines on the command line somehow got NS to work with CS 1.6 when it never did previously.
Something else is afoot! =P
I highly doubt there'd be a way to run a mod on a mod, especially without having the engine files.....if that makes any sense.
But fair do's, you got it working! Now go play! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
"Prooved" is stretching it. We want specifics! SPECIFICS! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Nothing had been proved here, as all we have are a few people shouting out as to how they "beat the system", and can play NS without the HL1 engine and files needed for NS to run.
Nothing is proven until we have *PROOF* of it actually working.
