Does the data returned by GET_MODEL_PTR tell you if textures are stored externally? If it does then how do you get the model pointer for the *t.mdl?

If textureindex is 0 then the engine assumes there's a T.mdl.
Note that it's only loaded by clients, the server never loads it.
Regardless the texture data is stored off in the model_t texinfo member which you can't get to from game code so you can't access it either way.

Hm okay - I guess textureindex will be 0 for models with no textures but the game handles that.
My problem is that I want to see how many skins a model has by checking numskinfamilies but it looks like I can't use that if the textures are external. If I want to get the number of skins I guess the only alternative is to try and open up the *t.mdl and parse the header then?
