Crowbar is a tool written by ZeqMacaw.
Its original intended was to be a replacement for Mdldecompiler, made by Cannonfodder. MDLDecompiler has not been updated for many years and can't fully decompile the latest model versions used in Source engine games. Crowbar is being developed to handle these later versions.
The download page for this tool and its source code can be accessed on its Steam Group.
