MDL (Quake)

For other uses of "MDL", see MDL.

MDL is a file format used by Quake to store vertex-animated models, as well as the required textures. Unlike the MDL formats used by GoldSrc and Source, skeletal animation is not supported, and only one texture can be used per skin.

Prior to late 2020 or early 2021, vanilla GoldSrc was able to parse Quake MDLs, although it required custom game code to function properly.
