I haven't tried any modding, but I did make an extremely sucky map :D
It's a big concrete room with two skylights and some dusty particle things floating in the rays of light. Oooh and aaah.

EDIT: ph34r my aweXome mapping skillz:

Lol, awesome :D :p

EDIT: And where can I find the HL2 SDK, anyway? It looks like I downloaded the HL1 SDK.

well, Steam (even though it's a big pile of crap) makes it pretty easy to find. Just open the 'play game' menu. Source SDK should be on there, grayed out. Right click it and choose download. It should be pretty straightforward.

theres resources such as planethalflife.com that have detailed tutorials on how to use the SDK. its simialir to the original SDK for HL1 so its almost the same plus the new features of the source engine.

I considered it, but I decided I didn't want to encourage them.

okay... imagine HL2 with a distinct freespacy touch..

hell, you can find skilled help by making a counterstrike map/mod that uses the boarding action of the NTF Iceni as a backdrop, if people like it, and if one suggests that they're making a full-fledged singleplayer mod for HL2... help is easy to find :)
