An update on Source Modding

TheFooFighter — Mon, 29 Jun 2020 08:38:05 +0000

Hi Sourcemodders!

I have rebuilt https://www.sourcemodding.com/ from the ground up because the old site (as some of you may have noticed) was falling into bad shape due to the tech being old and my image hoster doing weird stuff with my hosted images.

The new site now features:

Built on top of a new and much easier to maintain technology
All images are hosted locally as .webp (sorry safari users..)
Much improved mobile scaling
The tutorial & tool tables were all converted to beautiful JSON from CSV
The locally hosted and mostly unused forums have been shutdown and replaced with Steam community discussions
The Valve History Timeline[www.sourcemodding.com] has been re-imagined
Syntax Highlighting provided by the excellent PrismJS[prismjs.com]

The future of the Project

I have neglected source modding over the last few years as a result of pursuing other projects and honestly losing interest in the project (those who juggle full time jobs and multiple other passions may understand that predicament)

I will try to complete the tutorial & tool collections as well as continue the "Where is Poppy" tutorial series I started all those years back.

You will notice that the Source 2 tutorials section is very bare. I will start populating it shortly.

I will also put together some tools to make tutorial & tool submissions easier for those who are interested in helping fill out the collection.

There is a roadmap on the front page of the site outlining a high level overview of the direction I plan to take the site.

Finally i want to thank you all for being interested in source modding and that you all find the service useful for your own projects.

I hope you all like the new and improved site and should you come across anything out of place be sure to let me know via E-Mail.[sourcemodding.com]
