It's fine, i was initially planned to give you advice about that

Damn, well I'm sorry I had any doubts then

or check it instead and select angle around 3-5 degrees, that will work with smooth shading applied to model

So you need to simply uncheck something for flat shading?

I admit then I was incorrect

Here you go, it was needed to uncheck "auto smooth" checkmark from vertex data tab

Also for your case with 45 degree rotated model may be needed to apply edge split modifier, a model with it will look flat even with smooth shading

i could even just edit your own mdl, without porting anything again, i'll sent you a file and you'll check it out (may even update your addon if you wanna to), wait for few minutes

If you port the rip and it looks like yours without modding the rip at all then you have to teach me flat shading, sound fair?

i could port that model rip and it will look the same as mine, need proofs?

You made your own model, I ported the model rip

Tested it out, you definitely don't know how to properly export flat-shaded models
But that's still better than with smooth shading, good job

Either way, i have my own model with flat shading, it looks normal on Source, so no excuses about the engine

There, it's updated to flat shading, enjoy

So you just don't know how to do that

Well I was told that flat shading can be weird in Source so you must port with smooth shading

No they didn't, ps1 literally can't do smooth shading of the objects

I still got the .blend so I could but I think Sony did use a form of smooth shading for the logo

Use flat shading in blender instead of smooth for this model, that would be better
