MilkShape ASCII
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
MilkShape ASCII[2], AKA MilkShape 3d ASCII model[3], is a format that can be used by the software MilkShape 3D to store 3-d meshes, materials, and bones. It is readable (and writable) as ASCII plaintext, and is presumably meant to be a version of the MilkShape model format that is easier to work with.

Identification
MilkShape ASCII files exported from MilkShape 3d begin with the line // MilkShape 3D ASCII. However, this does not seem to be mandatory, as the software will read files without it without problems. It may contain the strings Meshes:, Materials:, and Bones:.
