Hi, I'm new to this server in registery only, I've been reading your site for a couple weeks now, You see I'm in the army and currently deployed in Iraq, I had almost forgotten about NS until I saw a soldier messing around with the original HL, It all flared back up instantly, I used to be a DIE HARD fan of NS. From the very first time I played until about a year and a half ago I played all the time. Anyway... on to why this is a tech issue... We are not allowed to plug in personel comps to the internet here (don't ask) so I use a portable hard drive to download stuff as often as allowed (took 3 days to get everything to play ns) and then put it on our laptops and play wireless lan games. I've gotten 10 people hooked in the week I have had it running. The problem is the best version I have been able to run so far is v2.01... we can't run 3.0+ becouse it requires you to log into your steam or valve account online to play... even lan. So we are happy to play what we have now, but there are 3 problems stopping it from kicking ass all together. Thats why I'm here, this has been the most informative and all around usefull site I have been on for NS and I'm hoping the solution is here.
1. onos only have weapon 1 and 4... 2 and 3 are blank and not useable, if I remember right that is stomp and gestate?
2.we cannot use mines at all, it crashes the server if the commander tries to drop them no matter who is in the chair or what armory we use
3.There are so few plugins still downloadable out there that it hurts. The big ones if someone knows how I can still get them is armory heal and lerklift. we have phaseEQ, Phaseselect, and manualsiege so far, It's just to help our sanity while deployed lol. thanks for the post and sorry if it's long or in the wrong spot, please let me know

Ye need multiple hives to unlock the additional abilities. (Also make sure your binds are correct, ie. that 1, 2, 3, and 4, are bound to slot1, slot2, slot3, and slot4, respectively)

Hrmm… It maybe the version of Half-Life you are using is not the same one that 2.01 was designed for. You can try looking for patches for ye old WON Half-Life. It may also be, however, that whatever the old rendering method was for mine-lasers back in those days is no longer compatible with newer graphics card drivers (we had lasers back in 2.01, didn't we?). It'd help if you could gather some sort of feedback for the error. I'm impressed you got the old bird to work at all.

Ye can look around at the archives at:
<a href="http://www.nsmod.org/forums/" target="_blank">http://www.nsmod.org/forums/</a>
They lock the old topics so you can't ask about them though. If you want to ask about them in another forum section there, first you'll have to introduce your entire family, tell your life's story, of your dreams and aspirations, and admit you’re an alcoholic and want to change, in one of their "social" forums, before they'll let you ask a technical question or post anything of value elsewhere. If you fail to repeat this process every month, they'll close your account for inactivity. (Me thinks the forum admins there are hard up for conversation or somethin')
You'll also have to get an old Metamod (hard) and old AMX (less hard) for compatibility with ye old Half-Life.
