XBLAH's Modding Tool
I'm XBLAH and I develop the XBLAH's Modding Tool, a fantastic tool for creating and running mods. it's an extremely usefulmtool for all mappers and modders for Goldsrc and Source that puts an emphasis on making several tasks easier and streamlined so that you spend less time with trial and error and more time finishing the project of your dreams.
After you subscribe, get in contact with me and I'll enable your access to the tool.

Modding-Assets.net
I also host a website where I curate assets for the main Valve games. There are assets for GoldSrc, Source and Source 2 games. Every asset published has a standardized name and orientation, and are grid friendly, making your modding life easier. All assets are licensed as CC0 and can be downloaded instantly, giving you complete freedom. Although this is my hobby, keeping the site on air has a cost. If you support this idea, I hope you can help me keep this
initiative going. Be sure everything you download from Modding Assets will be of the highest quality, and always free, with no paywalls or accounts.

XBLAH's Modding Tool v2.2.3

RU:
  В этом обновлении появилась новая функция как для моддеров GoldSRC, так и для Source: конвертер WAD в VTF/VMT! Выберите файл WAD, и он преобразует его в VTF и VMT и поместит их в правильный каталог вашего мода.
Помните, что эта функция все еще находится в стадии альфа-версии. Что пока работает:
Все изображения преобразуются в форматы VTF с отображением освещения, после чего создаются файлы VMT.
Синяя прозрачность преобразуется в альфа-прозрачность.
Что еще нужно сделать:
Объединяйте анимированные изображения в один VTF.
Конвертируйте изображения воды в Water VMT.
(что-нибудь еще? дайте мне знать)
Это обновление также устраняет некоторые проблемы на панели управления программированием, а также добавляет кнопку «Перестроить решение».
Благодарим всех за поддержку разработки этого инструмента. Дайте мне знать ваши идеи о том, над чем мне следует поработать в следующем обновлении.
Обновление должно применяться плавно. Если у вас еще нет инструмента, вы можете скачать его здесь:

EN :
This update brings a new feature both for GoldSRC and Source modders alike: The WAD to VTF/VMT converter! Select a WAD file, and it will convert the file to VTFs and VMTs, and place them in the correct directory in your mod.
Keep in mind this is feature is still in alpha. What works so far:
All images are converted to Lightmapped VTFs and the VMTs are generated.Blue transparency is converted to alpha transparency.
What still needs to be done:
Merge animated images into a single VTF.Convert water images to Water VMTs.(anything else? let me know)
This update also fixes some issues in the programming dashboard, as well as add a "Rebuild Solution" button.
Thank you all for supporting the development of this tool. Let me know your ideas of what should I work on for the next update.
The update should be applied seamlessly. If you don't have the tool yet, you can download it here:
