Very Confused

I am new to HL, and being so I am very new to HL Mods... How do I get version 1.3? and also where do I install it to in order to get it to work? Also would like to ask where do I install all the patches too?

Nevermind, read some more and figured it out.

Dude, just don't double-post. Use the EDIT button if you forgot something or if you solved your problem.
