Version

SMD version. This is required exactly as it appears below or it will refuse to compile.

Example:

version 1

[edit]

Node Tree Data

"Nodes" and "Bones Table" is used interchangably.

Starts with:

nodes

Ends with:

end

Each node has three parts:

Name	Datatype	Comments
ID	uint	Used to identify a specific node.
Name	string	The name which is copied directly to the MDL. Names have a maximum length of 64 characters.
ParentID	int	Links this node to another node. "-1" is used to signify no parent.

Example:

0 "Root" -1

[edit]

Skeleton Prose Data

Starts with:

skeleton

Ends with:

end

Each bone has at least two parts:

Time:

Name	Datatype	Comments
Frame	int	At this frame...

Bone(s): - Note: The compiler can only handle 128 (0-127) bones!

Name	Datatype	Comments
BoneID	uint	The bone to manipulate.
PosX	float	X-axis location.
PosY	float	Y-axis location.
PosZ	float	Z-axis location.
RotX	float	Rotation (in radians) of the X-axis.
RotY	float	Rotation (in radians) of the Y-axis.
RotZ	float	Rotation (in radians) of the Z-axis.

Example:

time 0
0 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000

Triangle Block

"Triangles" block is the basis for the structure of all models.

Starts with:

triangles

Ends with:

end

Each triangle has at least two parts:

Texture:

Name	Datatype	Comments
File	string	The name of the image to load not including any directories.

Verticies:

Name	Datatype	Comments
Effect	string	"$blended"
Blends	byte	Must be 4 or else the compiler will error.
Bone[0]	sbyte	Hardware Blending Bone
Scale[0]	float	Hardware Blending Scale
Bone[1]	sbyte	Hardware Blending Bone
Scale[1]	float	Hardware Blending Scale
Bone[2]	sbyte	Hardware Blending Bone
Scale[2]	float	Hardware Blending Scale
Bone[3]	sbyte	Hardware Blending Bone
Scale[3]	float	Hardware Blending Scale
PosX	float	Position X-axis
PosY	float	Position Y-axis
PosZ	float	Position Z-axis
NormX	float	Normal X-axis
NormY	float	Normal Y-axis
NormZ	float	Normal Z-axis
TexU	float	The U component of the UV texture coordinates.
TexV	float	The V component of the UV texture coordinates.

Example:

$blended 4  -1 1.0000 -1 0.0000 -1 0.0000 -1 0.0000 0.000000 -100.000000 50.000000 0.0000 0.0000 1.0000 1.000000 1.000000
$blended 4  -1 1.0000 -1 0.0000 -1 0.0000 -1 0.0000 0.000000 -100.000000 50.000000 0.0000 0.0000 1.0000 1.000000 1.000000
$blended 4  -1 1.0000 -1 0.0000 -1 0.0000 -1 0.0000 0.000000 -100.000000 50.000000 0.0000 0.0000 1.0000 1.000000 1.000000
