Handy Vandal's Almanac 2

THE HANDY VANDAL'S ALMANAC for HALF-LIFE 2
Home Page

January 2008 - I am no longer maintaining the Almanac. It was a lot of fun, but my interests have shifted, and I need to focus my energies elsewhere. Half-Life 2

To everyone who sent links, wrote tutorials, worked on the Xen Rebels mod, caught my mistakes, suggested ideas for improvements, sent encouraging emails, etc. -- you have my heartfelt thanks. You helped make the Almanac what it was.

I believe that the Valve Developer Community wiki is your best resource for Half Life mod development. I've listed some other links below.
