Useful links for Source 2 tools.

By Fr0dech 

If you don't know where to start and what to do in s&box tools. Since Source 2 is very different and at the same time very familiar with Source 1, you need a little guidance.

S&Box Wiki by Facepunch

Facepunch S&box wiki[wiki.facepunch.com] will teach you how to make a gamemode for s&box and how to set everything up. It has not dozen of information, yet still important. First of all search for your answers there.

Valve's developer community Half-Life: Alyx documentation.

Since HL:A and S&Box share the same engine (even tho they use different programming languages), Valve's developer community will be a good guide for making maps, S2FM etc.

BUT NOT SCRIPTING, S&BOX DOESN'T USE LUA!

(Questionable) Valve's developer community Dota 2 documentation.

Dota 2 was litteraly the first game on Source 2 and it's been 6 years of people creating something on this engine. Even tho it's mostly highly specialized for Dota 2, you still can find something useful Here.

SOURCE 2 COMMUNITIES

If you finaly got access to S&Box, then probably you are already joined Official S&Box Server[discord.gg], if you didn't, I think you should.

Also there is a big Source 2 Modding Community[discord.gg] which includes both Half-Life: Alyx and S&Box. It's the biggest one about Source 2 and you can always ask your questions in #help.

The S&box server is an amazing resource. The Devs frequent it all of the time and many people are willing to help noobies out. Its a great community.

I learned s2 in 2016 using dota 2 and destinations wiki documentation it is perfectly good but a lot of the info on the wiki is fragmented. Go watch my 'how to transition to source 2' vid lol
