What is the point of these 01, 02, 03 .mdl files in the .pak file? When I try to view them with HLMV it says 'Error reading model header,' but in half-life I see loading modelsscientist03.mdl. Anyone know what these files are for? Thanks.

I don't know what's up with the Barney ones, but the scientist ones labeled after with numbers after the model names are the scientist sub-models, while the default model is Walter.

Ahhhhhh. I see. Whose Walter? I figured the one with glasses was the default. Is he Walter? Hammer list them as glasses, einstein, luther, and slick.

Well, everybody in the fan community calls him Walter. You know who Einstein is, Luther is the black scientist, and Slick is the scientist with brown hair and pale skin.

These 01, 02, 03 files are for submodels, as spark stated. The scientists use them for submodel heads, while Barney uses these files for submodels of where his pistol is located; in his holster, hand, or no gun at all.
