Installation with Steam

[Mystry]

For those who do not know, you have to have STEAM to play this mod. And a lawfully obtained copy of Half-Life, Half-Life 2 for the source version that will probably take 3 or more years to come out.
The directory to install all your crap to is:
X:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\Steamapps\YOURSTEAMNAME\half-life\msc\
NOTE
X = Whatever you installed steam/HL to. This is the default directory as well. Once you do that, restart steam and it should appear in your 'Games' list.
ANOTHER NOTE:
BEFORE PLAYING SWITCH THE GRAPHICS TO OPENGL. MS:C WILL ONLY WORK IN OPENGL MODE. Otherwise you will crash and get a little notice on it when you try and join a server.
----------------------
Another thing after you install that is to go to the patches section on MS:C website, download and install all of them. They will be inside your \ms folder, look for the files with the same name. Then go to http://www.thothie.com/ms and get his new SC.DLL and install that as well. Now your good to go.

There is another post for hosting dedicated servers with [FN] HERE

X:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\Steamapps\YOURSTEAMNAME\half-life\msc

If you install it into MS, you won't see any servers, gotta be MSC.

And as per usual - if you have trouble finding your Steam folder use:
this batch file

I'll be making a self installer for this when I get the new enhancement package togother (new maps, new models, new dlls, etc) - but tis at least a few months away.

"The Steam servers are currently too busy to handle your request. Please Try again in a few minutes."

It's a problem with Steam, not the mod. Try rebooting your computer. If that doesn't work, try logging out of steam, closing it, and starting it back up and logging back in.
