Half-Life Asset Manager is a new tool that has been developed to support multiple asset types compared to its predecessor Half-Life Model Viewer. This innovative tool offers many benefits, including the ability to easily update and support other Half-life 1 assets in the future. Another advantage of using Half-Life Asset Manager is that it eliminates any unsuitable associations with HLMV.exe created by previous versions of the program.

- Improved stability and reduced RAM usage: The tool is designed to be more stable with reduced memory usage compared to its predecessor, Jed’s HLMV.
- Advanced hitbox editing: Half-Life Asset Manager provides the option to edit hitboxes that can be used in-game, making it easier for users to optimize their game models.
- Texture replacement without recompiling: Unlike the Half-Life Model Viewer, Half-Life Asset Manager allows users to replace textures without having to recompile.

- Game configurations: Asset Manager supports accessing game content in the main game directory, SteamPipe directories, and mod directories.
Drawbacks
- Only compatible with Half-life 1/GoldSource: Half-Life Asset Manager is not compatible with Half-Life 2/Source and Source 2, limiting its usefulness to those working with Half-life 1 assets.
- Changing file associations: Users who have file associations set up for one or more of the file types supported by Half-Life Asset Manager will need to manually change the association in the control panel.
