Natural Selection

[Khazun]

Hi Guys,

 

 

 

Does anybody have any working Natural Selection Servers running through TCAdmin?

 

 

 

I have got NS Setup and running fine through hlds.exe, but all servers runnng through TCAdmin are not responding, Im guessing I have set it up wrong in TCAdmin - anybody got a working Config and file structure?

 

 

 

Thankyou, Alex

Configure the service to interact with the desktop so you can see the game's console and see what's wrong. If counter strike works natural selection should work too.

Ok,

 

 

 

Let me try that.

[Khazun]

Ok,

 

 

 

The error was HLDS Launcher encountered a problem and had to close.

 

 

 

Any Suggestions?

 

 

 

Thanks - Alex

That would be something within the Windows OS or the HLDS executable itself. Maybe try reloading it?

[Khazun]

I have already tried that several times

 

 

 

I have installed NS simply by making a copy of the cstrike game folde,r renaming it to NS, and then putting in the NS folder.

 

 

 

Dir Structure is:

 

 

 

NS

 

-cstrike

 

-NS

 

hlds.exe and other programs

 

 

 

Is that correct?

Download a fresh copy from STEAM. Leave the CSTRIKE folder as it is. The -game command is what tells the HL engine which game/folder to use.

 

 

 

Simply unzip NS into the top level folder. I beleive NS uses it's own folder, which I don't remember the name offhand. But use the -game command to load NS vs. CS.

 

 

 

So in a nutshell don't rename the cstrike folder. Simply create a new folder for NS and put it's files in there.

 

 

 

If you still can't get it, you can submit a ticket with your server and panel login info and I will take a look at it for you.

So go to Dos;

 

 

 

Run :

 

 

 

HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game "counter-strike" -dir c:\games\NS

 

 

 

Then Download the Dedicated File from natural-selection.org and extract it to c:\games\NS

 

 

 

Is this what you mean?

 

 

 

Thanks - Alex

To save time you can copy them files from your installs directory if you wish. Once you have them copied to a new directory simply unzip NS into the top level. If I remember correctly the zip file for NS contains it's own directory structure. It should create a NS something folder. Basically just dont unzip them to the CSTRIKE folder. Put them in a game folder of their own. The call the -game command in the command line to tell HL which game to start.

[Khazun]

That is what I did earlier, I copied it over and extracted it in.

[ECF]

But you said you had renamed the cstrike folder and put the files in there.

 

 

 

You want a seperate folder with the NS files in it. Leaving the cstrike folder as it is.

[Khazun]

I ddnt mean the games/cstrike/cstrike folder.

 

 

 

I meant I copied the Entire Counter Strike Directory (which has a sub directoy of cstrike in it, which you may be gettng confused with) and then put NS in it and renamed the top level from the games folder to NS, so it went as follows.

 

 

 

NS

 

-cstrike

 

-NS

 

-hlds.exe

 

 

 

etc

 

 

 

The Top level NS folder used to be called cstrike in the games folder as I copied the counter strike stuff over, I am not referring to th actual cstrike with cstrike game models in it.

 

 

 

Hope this clears it up,

The NS folder should only contain NS files. No cstrike files should be in there.

[Khazun]

THat is deleted, but the problem persists.

[Stealth]

is it possible you can set up a temporary read-only access to the folder so we can take a look?

 

 

 

Probably best to PM the ftp details to myself or support staff

[Jissh]

Does anybody have a working config they can post for this yet?

 

Thanks

[ECF]

Found this in our test system. I cannot say 100% that it works as I don't have NS loaded on our machine. But here it is.
