Summary0006179: Skin Editor: preview doesn't show models without extensions
DescriptionThere's a problem with the preview for the following skin in the Skin Editor: commoner/default

When selecting this skin, a "missing model" cube is shown in the preview. The first model key points to a valid .md5mesh, but omits the extension ("models/md5/chars/townsfolk/commoner/tdm_townsfolk_commoner").
TagsNo tags attached.

The skin editor can show .md5meshes just fine, but it's required for the model to exist.

model "models/md5/chars/townsfolk/commoner/tdm_townsfolk_commoner" => this doesn't appear to be a path to a valid .md5mesh, at least not on my TDM installation

The "model" keys of many TDM skins are incorrect. But they work nonetheless, because once a skin is assigned the engine will happily apply the materials as defined.

The symptom here is that the Skin Editor uses the first model entry for the preview. Since the first entry is invalid, a cube turns up. Clicking the second entry that is pointing to a valid modelDef gives the preview something to show.

I suppose the mistake is that the .md5mesh extension is omitted in the first entry, otherwise that would be a valid path. I've meanwhile found other skins for .md5meshes, rather than modelDefs, and those .md5meshes show up fine in the preview with the extension mentioned in the skin.

Maybe it would be worth supporting extension-less paths in model keys, but it's really a very minor point.
