There is also this library if you want to decompile binary MDL files to text MDL files. There is a simple console application in there called mdld.exe
Code: Select all
mdld.exe /file:"pathToBinaryMdl.mdl" /out:"pathToOutputText.mdl"
Reads from a source file and creates an output file.
or
mdld.exe /file:"pathToBinaryMdl.mdl"
Reads from a source file and writes to stdout
or
mdld.exe
Reads from stdIn, and writes to stdOut
Last time I ran it, it could successfully decompile 3129 of 3294 MDL files in the artwork directory. I'm not sure if I was having issues with the last 5% because they were corrupt or what. Anyways, enjoy.
Oh, and allegiance can use the decompiled versions of these MDLs just fine, if you allow a flag in the loading process. And Mdlc and recompile them back to their originals. So you might be able to use the text mdl's compress them all in the installer and then compile them during the install.

Here is a patch that fixes a bug (copy/paste bug hah) in allegiance and mdlc related to loading text MDLs.

Apologies for reviving this.
I was thinking that we could compile my high res textures, into the installer and allow them to be installed optionally.
Or we could just post a download link on the site.
So far, since I republished my texture pack no one reported any crashing to me.
What do you think?
I can provide an exe file or a zip file with the textures.

Looks like a visual studio solution/project. You should be able to just open it and build to get an executable.
