Decompile MDL and related files into QC, SMD, and related files.

• Versions supported:
  • MDL version 06
    
  • MDL version 10
    
  • MDL version 2531 (except vertex animations) + PHY
    
  • MDL version 36 (only reference mesh, physics mesh, and animation SMD files; QC file is incomplete)
    
  • MDL version 37 (only reference mesh, physics mesh, and animation SMD files; QC file is incomplete)
    
  • MDL version 44 + ANI + PHY + VTX + VVD
    
  • MDL version 45 + ANI + PHY + VTX + VVD
    
  • MDL version 46 + ANI + PHY + VTX + VVD
    
  • MDL version 47 (treated as version 46 currently)
    
  • MDL version 48 + ANI + PHY + VTX + VVD
    
  • MDL version 49 + ANI (some) + PHY + VTX + VVD
    
  • MDL version 52 (treated as version 49 currently)
• Option for creating subfolder in MDL file folder for decompiled files.
  
• Create output folder automatically if it doesn't already exist.
  
• Choose which files to create and what info to decompile.
  
• Re-create files that can be used for recompiling:
  • QC file
    
  • Reference mesh SMD files
    
  • LoD mesh SMD files
    
  • Physics mesh SMD file
    
  • Vertex animation (flexes) VTA file
    
  • Bone animation SMD files
    
  • Procedural bones VRD file
• Can decompile all models in same folder as selected MDL File. Think of this as batch mode.
  
• Can decompile all models in same folder as selected MDL File and its sub-folders. Think of this as another batch mode.
  
  
• Option to decompile with certain formatting so that existing SMD importers (such as Milkshape and MESA) will work correctly with the created files.
  
• Option to decompile each model to its own folder with same name as the model.
  * Especially useful for batch decompiling.
  
• Option to use subfolder for the anims.
  
• Decompile models found in subfolders into the same subfolder structure.
  For example, if MDL files are in this folder structure:
  
  models\ humans\
  the decompiled folder structure would be the same, that is:
  
  models\ humans\
• Option to decompile parts of QC into separate QCI files as requested in this topic.
  
• Option to generate the $definebone lines, to avoid having to delete the lines in the QC file if they cause problems.
  
• Option to write decompile log to a file.
  
  
• Write capitalized QC commands, such as $Model and $CDMaterials

View some basic info about a model without opening other tools. Access each game's model viewer (HLMV), mapper (Hammer), and the game itself.

• View info such as model version number and list of materials (VMT files) used.
  
• View compiled model (MDL file) in the game's model viewer.
  
• Use the "View as Replacement" button for viewing (in HLMV) a model that replaces a model in the game. Crowbar does some necessary handling of files, which would be a pain to do manually, to bypass HLMV's quirk of always showing the in-game model.

Unpack from any VPK archive, keeping the important features of GCFScape and adding more.

• Show listing of single and multi-chunk VPKs. (A multi-chunk VPK is a set of VPK files grouped together that includes an index file with "_dir" in its name, such as found in Half-Life 2 and Team Fortress 2.)
  
• Show merged listing of multiple VPKs.
  
• Search for a piece of file name from any folder and save the results as part of the listing.
  
• Unpack directly from search results.

If you have trouble downloading files, that's a problem with your hardware, your browser, or your operating system.

You can't use img tags in forum posts. You'll have to use url tags and link to your Steam Artwork section.

This is my Artwork section where I store images I have used in other posts:

This is probably just a general issue because I have yet to figure out a consistent method for determining which models need the rotation and which do not.

To better test future methods, please post what specific model (path and file name and which game) that correspond with your screenshots.

Thanks for the report. I'll check it out soon.
