How do I edit .mdl files?

[Scruffie]

I don't know what to open them with... what do I use?

 

[Mr Smo]

decompile the mdl file with milk shape 3d by going into it and then.

TOOLS -> HALF-LIFE -> DECOMPILE NORMAL HALF-LIFE MODEL

then go to import and import the SMD file that came from the MDL file.. if it was goku.mdl the smd file will be called goku.smd

the wacko there ya go.

a player model may contain up to 300 smds most of these are animations you must find the model reference model with the polygons and skeleton, it's usurally named the same or similar to the mdl. eg. xxx.mdl reference would be xxx.smd , hope I didn't confuse anyone cause I'm confused myself.
