I will read all of this asap but I think I'd like to keep the discussion on MDL and not MDO. I don't see any similarity between the two. MDL was a little confusing to stare at, but MDO just makes no sense to me. That said I'm sure if I looked at it deliberately it would start to unravel. At the least I can say there is no apparent relationship format wise. Do we have enough tools to work with MDO files already? If so I'd prefer to perfect our understanding of MDL first.
Speaking of which you all might be relieved to hear that I've a fairly strong grasp of the MDL format a to z and it's just a matter of time before you'll have your MDL tools. I expect more friction working with Assimp than with the tools itself however it's worth it so that there will be a long laundry list of import formats and counting right out of the box.
I actually think I'd rather work on deciphering the PSOne TOD format before MDO unless the From' MDO tools are really inadequate.
