Looks like it's the same old script updated for latest Blender version. Just so you know, this vibe coded script below exports smaller files. It always bothered me that .md5anim files from Blender are three times bigger than they should.

It is and it isn't. It has MD5v12 support, some small optimizations.

This 1.2 format doesn't seem to work in Darkmod?

it's not 1.2, it's v12 (stock Doom 3 is v10). No, it won't work with TDM because it needs engine side implementation. That being said, do not export with MD5v12 checkbox on and you'll get stock Doom 3 v10 md5 format. Here are the docs, if anyone cares: https://github.com/motorsep/StormEngine2/blob/master/MD5v12_ENGINE_GUIDE.md (could be slightly dated)

Thanks for the info.

Maybe tdm needs to support MD5v12? Or maybe not.

It could, MD5v10 and v12 can live side by side.

I just pushed an update - when model was comprised of several meshes (individual surfaces with different materials), bounds were not calculated correctly. Now it's fixed.
