Your welcome Bass Guy 1669,
Didn't want to leave you without anything, and it looks like people haved been working on .m
dl exporting with animations as early as 2001. Now it would be hard for me that no one has succeeded in nearly 6 years.
Look at this forum link.
specifically these posts

Yeah I arrived at the sam conclusion a while ago.... I DID get slightly farther: I had some working animations in a model with a UV map but it took a very long time per animation frame and then some weird things started happening to the model ike a kneepad suddenly became all messed up and such...

So this leads me to believe that an export .mdl + animation for milkshape3d must exist. I'm still looking and can't believe I haven't found it yet. Unfortunately I haven't found as much positive clues in way of lithUnwrap. Most promising links turn out to be related to 3dmax, converting to .3DS, and other more expensive UV mappers. I also seem to get directed to gamespce or truespace links. So I imagine those programs have a working .mdl mapper and exporter maintaining animations properly.
What's the problem with GOOGLE lately??? Is it just me???I hate when I google something, and the keywords all show up, only to find that the link has nothing to do with what I'm looking for. It used to be able to advance search or use google operations to weed out the junk. But lately I get more crap then real meat. I think Google Ads has poisoned the search results[u]
