Need help importing .MDL files from Neptunia Virtual Stars.

[Taiwan_Guy]

There's a game called Neptunia Virtual Stars on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1399 ... ual_Stars/ and i had to unpack the archive with these tools:

The main problem i'm having are the models of the game that come with the .MDL file extension, can somebody make a noesis script that can import Orochi 4 .MDL files from this game if possible?

From the samples I found this.

Vertex

Faces

UV's
The issue I found is there is some kind of gap that is preventing the faces from falling into order. If you load more than the vertex of each submesh you get an error. There has to be some set of bytes that are preventing the file from being extracted. Here are 4 sub meshes.

Each model is broken down into vertex sections, and each section is split into 1 or more shapes referencing that section. So I think this looks about right. Might be useful to have some textures to test too.

I didn't spend to much time trying to figure out all the tables but I wrote up something basic in maxscript. I understand the topic poster is wanting a noesis plugin but I don't have the time to flesh that out at the moment. So rather the just posting a screenshot I'll include the maxscript as-is if anyone wants to pick up the work.

Edit
after writing this I checked out xentax and there is an existing import script for blender here aswell
