How To Make A Source Engine Mod (Half Life 2 etc)

A detailed description on how to make a mod of the source engine, the technology under the hood of Half life 2.
The source SDK can be found on the tools tab of steam.
For a list of Source games, go to http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Games_Supported_By_The_Source_SDK
You can get Visual C++ Express (free) at http://www.microsoft.com/Express/

Further videos will show you how to add content to your source mods.

Everybody go to moddb and search Ob or Base, under hl2 mods. Download Ob basemod. Thumbs so everyone can see.

@utfrts39sk No ofcourse not. Garry's mod IS a source engine mod. Not a modding program...
