For what direct value support means, and how to calculate the values, consult Entity Programming - Introduction to Entities with Animated Models#Low-level animation control
For the expansion packs, the paths are relative to their respective mod folders relative to Half-Life executable:
- Half-Life: Opposing Force = gearbox/
- Half-Life: Blue Shift = bshift/

should we add all other entities not available in the FGD, as well as all other hardcoded models/sprites precached and used by all these entities?

I think adding entities used for displaying models, such as cycler* entities and env_sprite, could come in handy for those wanting to use props with multiple body/skin groups.

Ah there we go, great work! 🙌

the reason env_sprite doesn't support body and skin is that apparently those values were hijacked by the sprite renderer as part of the system that makes sprites attached to models in one of their attachment points.
