From what I can see here, you have 2 problems, although 1 of them is not that big a deal.

First problem ( and it's a big one ) is your metamod/plugins.ini.
Each target should have it's own line. Also, each target under windows MUST start with win32. Here is an example of what you should have.

CODE

win32 addons/whichbot/dlls/whichbot.dll
win32 ../rcbot/dlls/rcbot_mm.dll

If you don't have whichbot then you can delete the whichbot target.
Also, since your using windows, we DON'T need the linux files. Windows can't read them anyway but that becides the fact.

Second problem is your liblist.gam. As I have allready noted that windows can't read .so files, you don't need the "gamedll_linux" target.

Okay, sounds as if metamod was not found. By default standerds, you should have the metamod.dll located here....

CODE

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\<myemail>\half-life\ns\addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll

What version of metamod are you using? You should have MM 1.17.2p10 or higher for ns beta5.

Metamod is located at D.\...\Halflife\ns\addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll Before the game crashes i can see the metamod text (saying loading metamod or something like that). I also see the RcBot variables and there values... but then it crashes.... I use the newest non-beta file of metamod which is avaliable.. --Ano

In my experiances, NS 3 beta series ( made solely for steam ) does load and run on WON but does not work properly. If you insist to play the lastest HL mods then I would seriously recommend you bite the bullet, re-install steam and run it in offline mode. Otherwise, stick to NS's 1.0 or 2.0. The latest metamod can be found at metamod.org. I believe it's 1.17.3. The p# versions of metamod are from another group who has made some alterations to metamod in order to optimize it. I have yet to "see" any actual improvements over the official releases.
