NS not supported by steam? I didn't know a mod had to be updated to support steam. If so, there are an enormous number of mods with little or no support that will be rendered worthless - which is a great loss to the HL community IMO. NS aside, I am very disappointed by Valve if this is the case.

Yup, I'm not making assumptions, unless they release an updated version soon then HL1 and it's mods may as well fall to ashes right now. It sucks.

does flay have a list then of where all his constillation donations came from so he can contact us??

Remo · September 2003

of course he does

Majin · September 2003

don't worry about your ICON
You donated to help right... not for an icon?
But your Icon will be there don't you worry and if it isn't you can tell ppl that you are const. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Flayra will find a way to get all the icons working dont worry

Pykmi · September 2003

Now that's very odd... I have managed to get Monkeystrike, Counter-Strike, Natural-Selection, The Specialists, Vampire Slayer, Day Of Defeat , Team Fortress Classic and Sven Coop working fine with steam...

Most of those I just copied over to Steamapps\email\half-life\modname and worked without probs..

Oh well... There are SOME probs.. U can't strafe as a Vampire in Vampire slayer, and some games have some sprites slightly mixed and small bugs, but they run without any bigger problems.

I think everyone just has to sent their steamid's to flayra so he can change the icons to those who deserve them ^^ . Hehe, I'm pleased I don't have to do that ^^

coil · September 2003

It's my understanding that Flay is waiting for the Steam SDK (or equivalent) to be released, so he know how to alter NS to work fully with Steam - icons, RMB menus, and everything. We'll keep you posted.

I know many server ops have been able to put NS on Steam. If you're trying to and having trouble, check in the Server Ops forums to see if anyone there can help.

antifreeze · September 2003

Thanks coil, least we know what hes upto anyway. **** steam.

Oh and i did donate to health, but i like the cool icon aswell. Its good fun for nubs to think im a server opp or something scary which is going to hurt them.

I run 2, 30 player servers over at www.BattlefortheGalaxy.com and when I attempted to update both of them to Steam here's what I got:

Checking bootstrapper version...
Updating Installation...
Unknown game 'NS'

I got the same error whether I tried NS or ns.

So what this tells me is that NS currently is not supported by Steam. If I'm correct, that means the NS team has about 7-10 days (I don't remember what the hard deadline is for turning off the WonID system) to get their mod supported by Steam. If Valve turns off the WonID system before Steam supports NS, then NO ONE on the planet will be able to play on a NS server via the internet.

Just bringing this to everyone's attetion so we can get it addressed before alot of players realize they can't play NS anymore.

Since only "dod", "cstrike", "valve", "richocet" and "deathmatch" are officially supported by steam, just -update valve will make any server work. TS, NS.

MFOTS · September 2003

Thanks Wither. I did that, just updated Valve and then started the server as usual with the hlds.exe -game ns and it worked. Hope I didn't screm "the sky is falling" too bad <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

My NS servers are up and running with Steam now.

Does anybody have a fix for the interface bug yet, or is that a wait for patch job?

Also, is your Steam ID your login, or is it a number, and if it's a number how do you find it? I miss my 2282808...

Copying fmod.dll doesn't fix the right-click menus... Or atleast not for me. But my ns didn't work at all before copying fmod.dll, but I have no idea of the purpose of that file.

zil · September 2003

hmm worked for me.

It's unlikely fmod.dll has anything to do with the right-click menus. fmod.dll contains the code for playing MP3 files. fmod is a cross-platform sound system that is free for non-commercial use (<a href='http://www.fmod.org/' target='_blank'>fmod.org</a>)

Sounds like the best approach. I'm not going to attempt conversion on my server until there's more official news. Not worth the time.

Download the NS Steam beta from the public beta forum, which will fix most of the bugs, including that one.

Must kill steam.
