<div class="IPBDescription">I have the file, I have steam installed</div>HI,

I have the |natural selection file the 150meg one.

Everytime I install it it SEEMS to be instsalling correctly then I cannot find the Natural selection executing file. It simply does not exist. So I cannot play natural selection because it installs itself partly.

Help

    There is no NS exe!

    Quick rundown:

    You need steam and Half-Life on your steam account!

    Start steam
    Run half-life
    start the hazard course (halflife training)
    exit half-life
    close steam
    run the NS 3.2 installer
    when the installation is finished
    start steam
    in the my games tab you should see natural selection
    double click and you are in


    The reason for there being no ns.exe is that half-life mods are launched through a command line parameter. So a NS shortcut would look something like this "...\steam\half-life\valve\hl-exe" -applaunch 320

    Please notice, that I dont know the current applaunch number for NS!

    Yeah, thats true, the NS only a MOD for a Half-Life.

    U will NOT found a NS.exe, because the Half-Life runs the NS.

    Yes yes, the Half-Lifemust LOADS the Textures, and WAD files.
    this is a reson for RUN Half-Life. some "LOADING" screen is enought for YA <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    In normal (OFFLINE) mode this is enought for NS install, but FASKALIA have right.

    The Internet plays NS requied a Steam account with a valid Half-Life 1 .

    upcoming steam infos:

    Please read this thread, again!

    It has been stated several time that there is no NS.exe

    Refer to this guide on how to perform a complete installation:

    Can I infer from this that you need the original Half-life and not half-life 2 in order to get the program to install

    assuming you followed the directions it will now be under your games tab in steam, just launch from there.

    Thanks alot Faskalia, the "start the Hazard Course" from Half Life made my game work.
    I installed NS without actually playing half life before on this computer (new one etc..) so the game didn't recognize the movements or something.

    I was able to join games after installing NS, but it got stuck at loading the game. I could join teams and hear the sounds, but not being able to move or do anything.

    Working now after loading up a Half Life game. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
