MDLC

MDLC is a MDL conversion program used to convert .bmp files into the .mdl format. MDL files are image files used by Allegiance for user interface items.

How do I edit .mdl files using MDLC?

1. First, export the image that you want to edit using MDLUtility. When you export the image, remove the "bmp" off of the end of the name. *THIS IS IMPORTANT*
2. Edit the file using mspaint or your favorite image editor. Make sure to keep it in the bmp format though.
3. Copy your finished image into the folder where you extracted MDLC.exe
4. Run mdlcMasterBat.exe, click "Select Files".
   • Note that you can select more than once file.
5. Click "Open" once you have selected the files that you want to import. Now click "Run Batch".
6. Take the .mdl files that MDLC.exe created and copy them into your artwork folder.

Notes

Advanced users can skip using mdlcMasterBat.exe by simply editing the batch file titled "convert" that is provided with MDLC.exe or by creating their own batch file. mdlcMasterBat.exe was just created to save some time.
