Your ultimate companion in the realm of GoldSrc and Source modding.
Features
Whether you're a seasoned modder or just starting out, this tool is designed to simplify complex tasks, automate tedious processes, and unleash your creative potential.
Create mods from templates
Creating a bare-bones mod usually requires more than just creating a liblist.gam or a gameinfo.txt. Mods based on GoldSrc and Source games can be created with the XBLAH's Modding Tool using an intuitive interface, that creates all the required files and directories. Mapbase mods are also supported.
Set up the level editors
Hammer 3.x and Hammerwill be automatically configured if ran through the XBLAH's Modding Tool. J.A.C.K. will be installed and configured for compatible GoldSrc games. Hammer++ will be installed and configured for compatible Source games.
Managing chapters
Chapters for single-player games can be created with XBLAH's Modding Tool through an UI. The modder can easily create new chapters, select the chapter images, chapter background images, the first map of the chapter, the background map, and the tool will do the dirty work of creating the required vtfs, vmts and scripts. It gives the option to automatically blur the background images, so the modder can just take a screenshot of the background map and the tool will apply the usual blur. This replaces the need of saving VTFs, creating chapter images with weird proportions, and so on.
Create detail props
The detail props files details.vbsp can be created or edited using the XBLAH's Modding Tool. The editor shows a preview of the detail props, showing both sprites and props, and is integrated with the File Explorer to make it really easy to create new detail props.
Create skyboxes and fetch lighting data
Skyboxes can be created straight from image files with the XBLAH's Modding Tool using an intuitive interface, that creates all the required vtfs and vmts. All you have to do is select each cubemap face, preview it, and save. It has a built in 3D previewer to check if the skybox is seamless, and supports the regular square skyboxes and the clamped ones. It will also give you the ideal settings for light_environment, env_sun and env_fog_controller for each sky.
