MDL Unpack is a web-based service used to decompile/convert models used in Valve's Source Engine back to their compilable components.

Features

  • Creates QC Script — Creates a QC script from the models binaries.
  • Creates Reference SMD — Converts model binary data to SMD syntax.

Limitations

This web-service will not decompile: Animations/Sequences, Vertex Animations, LoD meshes, Bodygroup meshes and Collision mesh.

QC interpreter is incomplete and will miss some info or it may be incorrect.

These features may be added/fixed at a later date.

Known Bugs

Bone weights on models with more than one bone will be wrong in some cases.
