Need help decompiling an MDL with a non source engine decompiler.

[HungryShark™]

So I have a model from a PS3 game and its .mdl format but all the information I find online to help me with decompiling it is all outdated so I get things like old scripts for 3dsMax that don't run, addons for blender that don't work, everything i try just doesn't work for me. It sucks because I found the model on the models-resource but I need vertex groups and bones and they unfortunately remove them. I'm desperate to figure something out because the only decompilers I can find for MDL is all source but my model isn't source. Any help is appreciated.

It would help if you told us what the model in question is.

It's a model from Sword Art Online Lost Song for ps3, any character model really but for testing I'm using Asuna. When I get how I can upload the mdl to dropbox and put the link here if needed

How did you get the model on your computer in the first place? Like, where did you get it from?

If you upload it to dropbox, then just put the link to it here.

I downloaded part of the game from a friend. It had like 22 parts to it and I downloaded the one with models and textures cuz I plan to make them into playermodels for Tower Unite and maybe Garry's Mod

Sorry everyone I was dumb. The platform it was for is PS Vita not PS3, I downloaded it for both platforms to see if i could get better textures or something. Anyways here's a dropbox link for the mdl

https:// www. dropbox .com /s/j07bafw16fh3w67/ch_asu.mdl?dl=0
Just remove spaces, i dont think it would allow a full link.

It says I can't preview .mdl files. Try throwing it in a folder, then uploading the folder.

You have to download id think. You cant preview any kind of model in dropbox.

Oh duh, I just had to hit the download button. Pfft. Anyway, it's not letting me decompile it. Can you try giving me all the associated files (phy, vtx, vvd, etc).

Its not a source model thought that's the thing. I'm trying to find a mdl decompiler that's not for source models. But whenever i try to look it up i get a bunch of mdl decompilers but all of them for source.
