What the...? Why bother with an ancient model format that did not even
have transition graphs? On the other hand the tentacle is the only real
version 10 model using them. You said yourself it is a version 9 model
and Half-Life can no longer display it. It must have got in there by
accident from an old Half-Life backup. Tell me one good reason why
writing a modified model viewer was not a waste of time?
I suppose your right - there's no way this will ever be useful. I just
thought it would be interesting to see how much the format had changed.
The model viewer itself took very little time - the hardest part was
figuring out why the animations weren't showing. It turns out they're
just very subtle - the only two that actually move are "shoot" and
"runshoot", which make the model's fingers move.
[Sorry, just felt like beeing a bit offending. I'm doing a lot of more
or less useless stuff too, when I have the time. At least one learns
something new from it. :)]

No offense taken - "why would you do this?" is a reasonable question.
The only real answer I have is "because I wanted to". :)
