{{srcskineditor|4.1}} is a program written by '''hlstriker''' that will let you add, edit, or delete skins on a {{src|4|nt=1}} [[model]] file. This tool is useful if you want to modify skins on a model but don't want to take the time to decompile, possibly rebuild the [[.qc]] file, and recompile the [[.mdl]] file. You can also modify various properties of the [[.mdl]] file such as its mass, surface property, key values, and more.

Besides changing model skins, Skin Editor can also be used to rename models without having to recompile them. To do this, create a copy of all the model files ([[MDL (Source)|MDL]], [[VTX]], [[PHY]], [[VVD]]) with the desired path and name. Open the mdl file in Skin Editor, and change the <code>Path to model files</code> to the location of the files relative to <code>models/</code>. Re-save the model, and Skin Editor will automatically update the name. The model should now appear and work properly in the engine.

A screenshot of the program's main interface.

Source Model Skin Editor Source Model Skin Editor is a program written by hlstriker that will let you add, edit, or delete skins on a Source Source Engine model file. This tool is useful if you want to modify skins on a model but don't want to take the time to decompile, possibly rebuild the .qc file, and recompile the .mdl file. You can also modify various properties of the .mdl file such as its mass, surface property, key values, and more.

Renaming models

Besides changing model skins, Skin Editor can also be used to rename models without having to recompile them. To do this, create a copy of all the model files (MDL, VTX, PHY, VVD) with the desired path and name. Open the mdl file in Skin Editor, and change the Path to model files to the location of the files relative to models/. Re-save the model, and Skin Editor will automatically update the name. The model should now appear and work properly in the engine.
