dagger-rotor03.msh Ë— * K):dagger-rotor04.msh õ› * K):dagger.mdl

MSH is obviously a mesh. Reportedly Orbiter is using the same format

It is a stretch, but you never know.

great news ... but i think the .pmdl is a compliation of .msh files by this way .. right ??
how extract .msh files from this .pmdl file ?? could i read directly the .pmdl file with one importer ???

and .msh files isn't a generic format ?? i have read it exist many version of .msh files ...

On this website, I have found an unpacker for Star Wars Starfighter.

You can extract the .msh/mtl files from the (packed) .pmdl file like this:
sfdepak.exe neutralfreighter.pmdl

Hello, I'm new here...
I'm not a coder nor do I have any skills when it comes to figuring out file formats. There is only one program I know of that can actually read/import the .pmdl files and that is http://web.axelero.hu/karpo/ (3D Object Converter). The downside is that it doesn't support the textures or UV map coordinates and it also imports many of the meshes wrong.

The .pmdl format is just a container file containing the following:

"info.txt" - Likely only used for developement and not in-game.
"xxxx.mdl" - Contains the reference coordinates for the different model parts allowing them to be put together. It also has reference data for camera positions, emitters, and weapons.
"xxxx.msh" - The model geometry.
"xxxx.mtl" - The material/shader data for the model.

This looks to be a fairly simple format to decode, why hasn't anyone figured this out yet?
Here is a sample with the contents of an extracted .pmdl along with the associated textures:

Gwlogan,

Did you find my program (3D Object Converter) ?
It is funny.

Actually YES, that's it 3D Object Converter! I just have the demo/trial version but it is the only program that works with .pmdl. Great program by the way!

Reviving this thread because 3d Object Converter is the only program that can open this msh format but it has zero support for UVs, and basically what gwlogan said here

The developer will not respond to questions about the format and seems to have no intention on adding further support.

I'm making a final plea for someone to take a look at these msh files and post a solution to this so we can finally move forward.

Ace, nice to see you again on it ...

I improved the Star Wars : Starfighter .msh loader module about 3 months based on a user request (UV vertex support, loads the real texture filename), but I did not published it officially yet:
