This page details the internal file format of a binary .mdl model file.

IMPORTANT These files use Little Endian format for numbers.

Header

All .mdl files begin with the 32bit magic number 0xDEBADF00.

Due to the little endian storage of this the first four bytes in a file as seen with a hex editor are (in hex) 00,DF,BA,DE.
