The high-level MDL container.

Every field is fully typed - the reader extracts all meaningful header data and the writer produces correct binary output from these fields alone.

Fields

root_node: MdlNode

The root node of the model hierarchy.

geometry_fn_ptr1: u32

Function pointer 1 from the geometry header (+0x00).

This is a leaked runtime vtable pointer from the BioWare toolset. Used by kotorblender for K1/K2/Xbox game detection. K1 PC value: 0x00413470.

geometry_fn_ptr2: u32

Function pointer 2 from the geometry header (+0x04).

K1 PC value: 0x00405580.

model_type: u8

Model type from geometry header (+0x4C). Always 2 for geometry models.

classification: u8

Classification (0=Other, 1=Effect, 2=Tile, 4=Character, 8=Door).

subclassification: u8

Subclassification byte (+0x51). Non-zero in ~196 vanilla K1 models.

affected_by_fog: u8

Affected-by-fog flag (+0x53). 0 or 1.

supermodel_name: String

The supermodel name (from header, +0x88).

node_count: u32

Total node count (from header, +0x2C).

bounding_box: [f32; 6]

Model bounding box (min_xyz, max_xyz) from header (+0x68..+0x7F).

radius: f32

Model bounding sphere radius from header (+0x80).

animation_scale: f32

Animation scale factor from header (+0x84). Default 1.0.

animations: Vec<MdlAnimation>

Animations attached to this model.

anim_root_node: Option<String>

Animation root node name, when different from the geometry root.

Head models set this to "neck_g" so the engine applies head animations from the neck bone rather than the model root. When None, the writer uses the geometry root offset for +0xA8.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Mdl

fn clone(&self) -> Mdl

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Mdl

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl DecodeBinary for Mdl

fn decode_binary(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, Self::Error>

Decodes an MDL model from raw bytes without MDX vertex data.

For models with companion MDX data, use read_mdl_from_bytes directly with the mdx_bytes parameter.

type Error = MdlError

Error type used by the format.

impl EncodeBinary for Mdl

type Error = MdlError

Error type used by the format.

fn encode_binary(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, Self::Error>

Encodes a value into an owned byte buffer.

impl PartialEq for Mdl

fn eq(&self, other: &Mdl) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl StructuralPartialEq for Mdl
