FATE 2005 RPG Game

[DrPeppermintt]

I recently got permission from Wild Studios to make this game on RPG Maker or Roblox, But the problem is I do not know where or what application to download for these file types like .SMA, .DAT, .DLL, .SMS, .DDS and .MDL, If you could please tell me what application to use them, I also have blender. I got this file because Wild Studios sent me this entire file of FATE along with sounds, textures, bgm in my email when i asked for it several months ago and now I am stuck. So I came here in search for experts on rpg creating or experts for people who has knowledge on extracting old files (keep in mind this game is 2005 old)

MDL files were used with the Quake engine games, if I remember. Here's an old link to a Quake Model Editor that I dug up. See if this works on the MDL files.

There's also MilkShape 3D, if it still exists. It got it's start from being a Quake MDL editor.

I downloaded MilkShape 3D but the link that you posted did not work.

Plus i feel like the SMS is a model thing. But blender doesn't accept SMS, so my guess is there an model application that uses SMS?

If there is, I couldn't find it. The SMS files are a mystery to me. I'm assuming that the DDS are DirectDraw Surfaces and the PNG are just the skins. I would have to think that the SMS is a model type of some sort, but doing searches on sites that have file formats, I haven't been able to track down what they actual are or what even opens them.

I popped one of the SMS files in to a Hex Editor to see if there was something in there that might give a hint as to what it was, and it does reference the PNG file for what it is. There is a version number in it as well, "v2.0" as well as the full word "default". The rest is just data.

So, apparently Humble Bundle screwed up and included the source code for FATE in one of their bundle releases. So, I went digging through the source code and in the LoadModel(), it does have a set of conditions for the extention of the file. Those conditions are MDL, AMS, and SMS. Apparently, just reading through this, "AMS" is for animated models and "SMS" is for skinned models. This makes sense since the skin is in the header of the SMS file. Apparently the animations for the skinned meshes are in the animations.dat file which is loaded along side the skinned meshes.

So, it is the mesh, but I still have no idea what would load it, convert it, or anything else.
