About

I couldn't find any good tools to streamline the lengthy process of creating .mdl files, and I plan on using a lot of them in my game. So I made this tool in Godot.

Features

• Right click conversion to .mdl
• Automatically converts model file to a .smd
• Creates a .qc file
• Converts them into a .mdl

Create .mdl file With GodotMDL, you can skip the long process required to convert a model into an mdl file. Simply right click your model and click 'Create .mdl file'

How to use

Download this blank mod folder and drag it into your project. (This is for the gameinfo.txt for studiomdl)

After adding GodotMDL into your addons folder, go to Project Settings -> GodotMDL. Configure your studiomdl.exe path (often in the bin folder of source games)

Then, right click your model and click Create .mdl file.

I highly advise you use the GodotVMF plugin which adds support with the Hammer editor, it gives you the ability to view the .mdl file in godot. Otherwise it won't be visible in your file system.

Installation

1. Click on the green "Code" button and select "Download ZIP".
2. Extract the addons folder into the root of your Godot project.
3. Enable the plugin in your Godot project settings.
