Hello all a few years ago I started to mod Hal-Life. I made rooms, glass, and even added music etc. Then I went back to school and lost all touch with it. My question is, does anyone know of a great site etc that offers great info on getting started? What Programs you will need etc?

I have downloaded alot so far like SDK, but I really don't remember what I did to get started. I know that I did create a room with new textures I had made and ran it and was able to walk through etc, but for the life of me I don't remember how I got started.

If you can help in anyway that would be great and thanks in advance :biggrin:

Are you talking about HL1 or HL2? If HL2, post in the forum which says "half-Life 2 editing". If you mean HL1, read on...

When you say modding, I assume you mean mapping, because you gave an
example of a level you started. To get started, there are a whole bunch
of newbie tutorials over in the tutorials section. Then there are the
individual entity set up tutorials, and various tutorials on small
issues that keep popping up. I think that's the best place for what you
want.
