Module ascii_reader 

ASCII MDL reader. ASCII MDL reader.

Parses human-readable ASCII MDL text into an Mdl model struct, producing the same representation as the binary reader. The parser is line-oriented and case-insensitive, matching the engine’s FuncInterp / InternalParseField dispatch pipeline.

Derived fields (bounding box, bounding sphere, face planes, adjacency, surface area) are computed automatically via MdlMesh::recompute_derived_fields after parsing.
