Guys I really want to make my own mod but I have no idea how to do "coding". I don't want some cheap ripoff of half-life whith crap weapons. Is there some guide or somthing which can help me.

Well, some basical C or C++ knowledge would definitely be necessary, unless you want to stick to the 'changing ammo amounts' things...

To change Half-Lifes game-code, you need to download the SDK first:

And you'll need a C++ compiler in order to build the dll's. Tutorials and helpfull information can be found at the Wavelenght:

Why is the SDK so big, and what does it stand for?

Source Development Kit.

It's pretty large because it doesn't only include the source files for the game code but also a nice amount of models and their source files, as well as various tools and articles.

Oh, and source files can be pretty much in filesize already... ;)

Its a programming language (the one Half Life was written in if I'm not mistaken). There are plenty of PC magazines that give away full versions of C++ Development Software, and sites like planetsourcecode etc. I personally couldnt do C if my life depended on it, mind.
