Overview
An MPF file contains model names, bones, UV maps, normals, vertices and other model data.
Here is the structure made in programming languages for easy code implementation:
- [SSX Tricky mpf C# handler by GlitcherOG](https://github.com/GlitcherOG/SSX-PS2-Collection-Modder/blob/main/FileHandlers/Models/TrickyMPFModelHandler.cs)
- [SSX Tricky mpf GO struct by Erick](https://github.com/Erickson400/TheTrickyModels/blob/main/mpf/MpfStructure.go)
