md2 models and entitypickmode are incompatibles?
i use recursive for entitypickmode

Function EntityPickModeR( entity, pickmode )
EntityPickMode( entity, pickmode )
For n = 1 To CountChildren( entity )
dibEntityPickModeR( GetChild(entity, n), pickmode )
Next
End Function

MD2 is in fact not the best choice for Blitz. I prefere B3D, even when there isn't a big lot of free Character.

BTW. The Tool UltimateUnwrap3D can convert a lot of Characters to B3D, including animation.

Or do the animation by your own, using a tool like CharacterFX.

never heared of one. they use diffrent methods which makes converting virtually impossible. But there are other game formats woth communities, and they CAN be converted. Example given: Halflive .SMD (oops, someone correct me if I mixed things again :) )

No. There are no bones in an MD2 file, making it virtually impossible to convert to b3d which requires bones for anything but hierarchical animation.
