Note: On the mod viewer the install button is not greyed out.

Heres the error when i try to connect (tries to update)

I really want to get NS up and running looks like a really good game, better than CS.

    Whats the problem? You cant run NS? The link on the desktop is broken?

    Go to your HL folder, select Hl.exe (or cstrike.exe if you have retail) make a shortcut on the desktop. Right-click and go to properties.

    The should be a line like this:

    C:\Sierra\Half-Life\hl.exe

    OR (Cs retail)

    C:\Sierra\Counter-Strike\cstrike.exe

    Change it so it looks like this:

    "C:\Sierra\Half-Life\hl.exe -console -game ns"

    OR (Cs retail)

    "C:\Sierra\Counter-Strike\cstrike.exe -console -game ns"

    Ns should work then without using mod viewer.

    2. how could i of got that screenshot with the error on it, if i couldn't run the game
    3. i was asking about mutiplayer, if i had a problem with putting a shortcut on my desktop i would ask a printer press tech.

    And another thing, i installed my hl on my "E" drive.

    that's an ALERT( at_error, ... ) message... but I don't know if it's in the engine or in the server DLL... I think it's the engine.

    Do you have HL 1.1.1.0 ?

    Thankyou the sort of support i needed.

    I think i might have that version.

    Is there a later version?
  • FireStormFireStorm Join Date: 2002-11-06 Member: 7390Members
    no... 1.1.1.0 is the last version................

    and you shouldn't get message parse errors.......... it's really strange

    Reiinstall. Thanks for flaming my guts btw, was only trying to help here.
  • IonShadowIonShadow Join Date: 2003-01-14 Member: 12281Members
    Anytime!, i know you were only trying to help, but you should really run through it slowly. instead of just scanning it. and waiting for stuff to fully load.

    BTW: i've already tried reinstalling it & half-life as well.

    Frankly, this is the first time I see such a problem (and I've seen all sorts of stuff during my HL, CS, DoD and a various assortment of other mod escapades on various computers).

    Have you tried using a third-party server-browsing program?

    The ASE's got my approval. Maybe you can pass the problem all together outside of HL.

    I think my knowledge is beyond you.

    My questions are 50000 miles ahead of you.


    Don't need a server broswer <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
  • L3TUC3L3TUC3 Join Date: 2002-11-03 Member: 5770Members
    You want to play online right? Then why dont you want a server browser? I can't help you with problems within the engine, or adjusting the specs of ur comp. I cant sniff the problem youknow, I might be 10,000 miles across the globe.

    Just try the damn thing to play. If you can we might find a solution. If you dont like it, thats where the thrash can is for.

    LAN games are going to be a bit tough.

    I don't need a server browser, It works brilliantly without a server broswer, it is easier just to browse on hl, and not to spend 4 hours downloading some software.
  • L3TUC3L3TUC3 Join Date: 2002-11-03 Member: 5770Members
    Fine then don't try it (its not a big d/l like GSA). It's really tiny compared to the HL+NS install. You seriously have to consider it before saying no.

    Otherwise reiinstal (if you havent already solved the problem).
  • IonShadowIonShadow Join Date: 2003-01-14 Member: 12281Members
    It is working now.

    Thankyou for your help, but there is one tiny problem, when you connect it keeps the menu up in the corner and you can't see what your doing, if you press Alt + tab it goes away but sometimes takes the sound with it.

    is it the res?

    This is a common HL problem. Press esc (sometimes twice) and resume game to fix it.
