You have successfully completed the mod wizard! The folder you chose to install to now has several sub-folders beneath it:
- mapsrc\
- For your uncompiled VMF map files.
- materialsrc\
- For your uncompiled materials.
- modelsrc\
- For your uncompiled models.
- src\
- All of the SDK's C++ source code. (The project files inside are configured specifically for the game you selected in the mod wizard, however.)
Additionally, a folder with your mod's name has been created in <Steam>\steamapps\sourcemods\. This is from where files compiled from the folders will be loaded, and the only folder people playing your mod need.
