Sorry, got confused. It's a problem with the SMD file. Where did you get it from? Can you upload it somewhere?

No worries, link to the SMD here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gn7w_eWPA4UFoE86uN6ZdepFgittF-uM/view?usp=share_link

The file is the result of converting a GRN file to a GR2 file, then using an old version of 3DS Max to generate an SMD from the GR2. It's a messy workflow, but it's the most efficient one I have at the moment unfortunately.

Here's the GR2 file as well, if that helps: https://drive.google.com/file/d/120wrFZDSnzww1-9SbkCjJlUyZ3pqM65O/view?usp=sharing

That's an issue with the QC file, not the SMD file(s). Try importing the SMDs directly.

Sorry, not sure I follow; what is the "QC file"? I only have SMD files.

I'm getting a similar error when trying to import a reference SMD (mesh and bones, no animation) into a completely empty scene in Blender:

The SMD model imports fine in Milkshape 1.8.4, but Blender Source Tools seems to hate it. Here's the model successfully imported into Milkshape:
