I'm a Half-Life 2 modder experienced with a variety of trades within Source SDK Base 2013. I mainly focus on mapping, programming, and choreography. I make mods, help with mods, and make mods that other mods can use.

I'm the original developer of Mapbase Mapbase, a base mod for Source 2013 which expands and improves the toolset available to modders. I highly recommend checking it out if you're modding for Half-Life 2. I'm also one of the developers of Entropy : Zero 2 Entropy : Zero 2, a staff member of Map Labs, and have made contributions to many other mods.

Miscellaneous Projects

Beyond Mapbase, I've created a few other miscellaneous Source-related projects intended for use by the modding community, most of which are available on my GitHub page.

  • Paint.NET Source Engine RAW plugin — Allows Paint.NET to import and export .raw files for use in Color Correction. By importing and then pasting a blank/off .raw file on top of a screenshot of your map, you can use Paint.NET's image adjustment tools to adjust the color lookup table alongside your screenshot, and then save those adjustments directly to a .raw file. This trick was originally conceived for use in Photoshop, and I created this plugin as a way of doing the same trick in Paint.NET.
  • Expanded Steam — An integration of the modern Steamworks API in Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer, providing access to modern Steam features. It also has its own integration of Steam Deck and Steam Input support, complete with button icons being displayed on HUD hints. This is the integration used in Entropy : Zero 2.
  • Bodygrouped HL2 Characters — Various Half-Life 2 character models separated into bodygroups, allowing body parts to be interchangeable.
  • Source Map Series Mod Creator — Also known as the Map Labs Mod Creator. This was created to ease the build packaging process for Map Labs, an anthology of mapping competitions. It can theoretically be used for any mapping competition or series of maps.
  • QuickRR — A Python script intended to help create responses from spreadsheets. This was part of a larger "QuickVCD" system developed for Entropy : Zero 2 which can be found on that repo.
