When I double clicked on ns_install_v32 it told me that steam had to be closed to carry on so I did, then it said that there wasnt a valid steam install found and asked me where to install the game....so I typed:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\**my steam account name**

Is that the right place for the game, im used to the game knowing where its meant to be installed instead of me guessing.....

It says its installed but its not showing in steam....


I have Half Life:Source, Half Life Deathmatch: Source and also halflife 2 source and deathmatch source and lost coast along with counter strike source ad they came together with Half life 2 game of the year edition.

Half Life source works fine and so does death match so I dont understand why its giving me issues.

You need the original halflife.

I see so Half Life:Source is no good is that what your saying?

That is what I am saying. Half Life: Source runs on the Source engine. Natural Selection does not.

This actually belongs in tech support, where there are threads aplenty about people trying to install NS into a Steam account which doesn't have HL Classic (The GoldSrc version, not the Source version) assigned, and installed in it.

However, to save you looking, every thread has the following in it.

"I can't install NS on my Steam. I've got (Insert one of the following) Half-Life Source/HL2/CS/CS:CZ/CS:S/DOD/DOD:S installed, so why can't I install this?!"
"You need Half-Life 1 in your account, bound, installed, and played at least once."
"OMG WHY NOT WHAT I'VE ALREADY GOT"
"Please, read the installation guide"

They're the general giste of how the threads go. Natural Selection was designed with the GoldSrc engine in mind, specifically the one that comes with Half-Life, mainly because it uses some of the same files as Half-Life does. There is a way of getting it to run on CS:CZ, but it's unsupported as of about 3.0. No-one in the community (to my knowledge) uses anything later than 3.0 on a CS:CZ install, without Half-Life. So that method is pretty much dead as they come.

Congrats on finding the forums though
