http://gibshooter.com/ -  2 most important additions to the tool are the new ability to export to RMF format, which solves the limitations that come with the Goldsource MAP format, and the new carve function for brushes, which makes the creation of highly complex seamless curves possible.

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Configuring_Hammer_for_Half-Life

**MODELING***

Crowbar (compile/decompile .mdl files!)

.qc files - critical to your model compiling... see https://the303.org/tutorials/gold_qc.htm

.bmp files must be 8-bit and you can use Photopea to edit and export and Irfanview to downscale.

-

Wally (.wad) - build your own .wad file of proper texture files for maps!

-

Jed's Half Life Model Viewer (HLMV - open .mdl files)

or

Half-Life Asset Manager is a brand new tool based on Half-Life Model Viewer 2. Unlike Half-Life Model Viewer this tool is designed to support multiple asset types

--

https://nemstools.github.io/pages/Crafty.html - Crafty is a 3D object, material, model and file browsing utility targeted towards Half-Life modders or enthusiasts looking for a Steam Independent application for quick previews. It currently supports Half-Life 2 .bsp, .mdl, .vmf and .gl formats along with Half-Life .bsp, .mdl, .map and .rmf formats in a variety of render modes.

https://github.com/wootguy/resguy - Resguy is similar to RESgen and FLRGen, but can find all content that Sven Co-op maps are allowed to customize, and only includes what is required. It can also find dependencies between files, like T models and model sounds.

This above tutorial video is Valve Hammer Editor showing scripted sequences which allow people to make characters move and play animations.
