Is this the right place

[UK_Karlos]

Iam making a small mod with 3-4 chapters. ive been looking on the valve sites for creating a mod but it hasnt told me how to create and .exe file to play my mod and to run it from the menu. i can run the maps by clicking on the bsp file for the map.

Also can anyone explain to me how to get a background map working.
Ive created a background map but i need to know how to make it load when the menu appears.

Lastly how can i convert my background.vmf to background.vmt and background_widescreen.vmt so a static screen displayes as the game first loads.

no you want room 23. just kidding. to get it so you can run your mod you need to click create a mod on the sdk menu. all your other questions you can find answers and tutorials to on the half life 2 wiki. you can get to it through the sourcesdk menu.
