Or does it import them incorrectly?

I am sure Noesis plugin cannot import this files ... or cannot import it correct.

Yes, you need only to store the absolute bone positions. The 4 garbage values was intended by him to be a quaternions (Read more)

How to calculate the rotation? Just take a look into the XNALara source code. One axis from the absolute position of the bone to the center of child's ... the other axes perpendicular to it

So is this bone structure correct?

Mesh:

Hey guys I am new to the forum and apparently late to the game when it comes to modding pc games and messing with 3d models. Anywho this might be a really dumb question if so my apologies, but I was just wondering if it was at all possible to us XNALara models in game?

Unfortunately, no.
XNALara models are TRU characters.
TRU ingame characters in XNALara works.
XNALara characters ingame TRU, didn't work.

Hello,
this is what everyone would love to be able to do but in order to write such a program, we would have to know the full specification of the TRU data format.
Unfortunately, we know enough about the format in order to export data from TRU but not enough to import anything .

You DON'T NEED Tomb Raider: Underworld to run this program.

Thank you for explaining that to me. Now I just need to find a guide to learn how to make xnaLara models of my own. Tips, pointers, or advice would be welcomed.

Crowbar [Source Engine Modding Tool]

I gave you the link to Valve-SMD-to-XPS-converter (Smd2xps). Just read the description or the comments there.

Convert MDL to SMD with:
Crowbar (current version 0.71 ... on the link, version 0.56)
