Nevermind forget it you can't help my situation.lol
You are attempting to play an "non" paid Half-Life game through Steam, correct? Meaning, you are attempting to play the WON version through steam to play Natural Selection.

OK you don't understand.I will tell you what i was meaning with "my situation".I bought Half Life 1 and i install it(without steam).When it said for activation code i type it.Then i installed Counter Strike 1.6 and i activated it too.So i never installed steam before to play Half Life.Even when i bought ESF i was never in need to install steam(no warning,no errors,nothin!!!).I was just...playing?I wasn't in need to install Steam.But then i bought The Orange Box and then i installed steam.So first time i was in need for steam was when i installed Half Life 2.I have no idea why it was like this.

Once again, you need to register your CD-Key to your Steam account. When you do that, Steam will download Half-Life from the server and update it to the latest version. Then, you can install Natural Selection.

Now, if you're asking how to install Natural Selection without using Steam, then we cannot help you.

input your half life 1 cd-key into steam, if you have the paid version this should not be a problem, steam will then download half life into the proper folder.

now, run it once to generate an actual folder to put the mod stuff in, then install NS, it SHOULD automatically pick up your steam folder, if not find it manually.

providing you did these steps NS should appear in your steam list, if not restart steam. if it STILL doesnt, you did something wrong.


after that, its as simple as "creating desktop shortcut" in the steam menu,

**mc beat me, oh well

That was my point :\ .Natural Selection it isn't in my game list.So i asked how to make my own shortcut with "Right-click on desktop > New > Shortcut.And NOW what should i type in "Type the location of the item:"
if NS isnt in your list, did you make sure that your ns folder is in steadm/steamapps/youraccount/half-life/ ?
If not, it won't show up and you won't be able to play it.

-.- you bought ESF 1.2? Anyway, back on topic, you can play NS without Steam, but you won't be able to join Steam servers, only the ones made through "the metod" and there aren't any.
PS: if you want to play NS properly you might need a good connection because, even if you have 100 ms ping, you will find it hard to play.

If you haven't used your HL1 cd key in steam by now chances are its already been used by a key generator and promptly banned.

Just buy hl1 I mean its what like 8$ on steam? Thats like less then the cost of a decent meal..

Discussions regarding how to bypass Steam are against the rules here.
Agreed. Please don't ask such things regarding how to "play without steam". Just buy Half-Life, it is not that expensive.

Agreed. Half-Life is like dirt cheap now. $9.99 on steam, found a new copy at gamestop for $5.

Why don't you want to use steam? It's one of the greatest game innovations created IMO.

I live in "pirate" country.I don't belive that I will find Half Life with unused cd key.I will disappoint you If i tell that i can actually play ESF on all servers even without running on Steam.
And i didn't tell that i don't have steam.I have it but I have a lot of problems that make me really nervous.Like when i install some mod for Half Life 2 the icon doesn't appear in My Games.Ex. if i download 20 mods I can play only 2!!!That suck.

EDIT: I also forgot i can't find "unistall" in steam.That also suck for me!
