Hi,
xoreos side dev here.
I have looked into KoTOR's model format but only briefly. (I am focused on Jade Empire atm)
I have a basic 010 editor template for KoTOR and KoTOR 2 MDL files. (mostly copied from JE)
I also wrote a 010 editor script that with some minor adapting can help find MDL files which meet certain criterias.
Or find out which values are used for a certain variable.
It does this by running though all the MDL files for a game, applying the template and then printing the stuff youre searching for.
If that is of any interest to anyone here please let me know.
