Author
Hey guys,
I am very interested in the Half Life 2 engine!! Is there anyplace i can get material to learn "scripting" in it? (is there any prerequisite knowledge reqd to work wid a game engine?)
Also, is the engine available to public? Can anyone give me some info on the HAVOC engine? Questions..questions... :D
Over and out...

VERC is Valve's developer comunity, they have a bunch of resources on modding the Source engine. You need to buy HL2 if you want to mod it

You have to download the Half-Life SDK through steam or from here
You can read the Source Engine Modding FAQ here
Here are the SDK Docs
That should help get you started

thanx a lot man!!
Some more ques... i have never modded a game before. Are there any prerequisites?
Also is there any book which teaches stuff abt the source engine? (for eg. there is a book <dont remember the name> which teaches TORQUE scripting authored by the dude who wrote the engine)

You need to know C++ to get anywhere with the source engine. Source is quite the beast and probably not a great place to start, it's not very easy but if you have the determination go for it.
I haven't heard or seen a book specifically about the Source engine, though there's probably lots of sites on the topic. Perhaps someone more experienced with Source can provide those?
