So like two exactly the same triangles on different submeshes would have 3 M2Vertex but the vertex list in the skin would be 0 1 2 0 1 2 and then the index list would be 0 1 2 3 4 5 and first submesh would be vertexStart 0, vertexCount 3, indexStart 0, indexCount 3, then second submesh would be vertexStart 3, vertexCount 3, indexStart 3, indexCount 3

The indices are repeated, yes. Those are a mess.

Nothing of this is enforced though, and I honestly don’t know whether all versions or no versions do deduplication. When implementing a renderer you don’t have to care: just upload all arrays and point to wherever it tells you in the draw calls. When writing an editor, do yourself a favor and duplicate everything per mesh and only deduplicate on saving, if you want to bother about it.

I am just writing my own m2 generator myself cause M2Mod does not do collision (which is really easy????) So basically what I need to do is keep track of the indices I use for each submesh, and then join them together for the skin index list so I can list the start and ends of each submesh.

Or just don't bother about deduplication etc, to be honest.
