This is an evolving list of my favorite Links of Modding Interest! If you'd like to see one added send me a link and I'll check it out!!!

The CS Wiki is one of the most important tools in a modder's arsenal and yet so many beginners overlook this wellspring of knowledge. There are many pro modders who have contributed to the Wiki and who learned everything they know from the wiki. So, when in doubt: check the Wiki. These are a few of my favorite Wiki Links!
