This can be attributed to a number of factors, which in essence all point back to Valve's excellent community support. Lastly, Half-Life was, and is still, a great game. Its strong storyline, intelligent enemy AI, skeletal animation, and its polished look and feel invite players to make the Half-Life universe bigger and better. While the Half-Life engine is showing its age when put up against the likes of the Unreal and Quake III Arena engines, it's definitely not out for the count. Without a doubt, Counter-Strike leads the way in terms of success.
Every good mod has to start somewhere.
One of the tools most widely used by mod developers is Worldcraft . Those of you who want to create your own textures will also need access to a popular art packages such as Adobe Photoshop or Jasc's Paint Shop Pro software. For editing specific mods, many mod developers will also release custom .fgd files, which will allow you to edit and gain access to mod-specific entities in Worldcraft that have been exclusively coded for their mod.
