Are there any tools to convert these into a usable format?

Here is a blend file to import gpl files from "s505a_m0.zip".
Need : Blender version 249 and Python version 26x (both 32 bits).
Double click file "Blender249.blend" and in Text Window press alt p.
I don't have this game , so was tested only on 5 files.
*.skn files don't supported - to complex

Here is a log from skn:
- floats are from shorts

Code:

offset 0   (4, 8, 6, 2560)
offset 8   (36, 292, 1220, 3240, 96, 0)

here are vertex bind to one bone:

first line: ... 0, 1632, 0, 0, 1, 73, 0, 0...
-73 - vert count
-1632 - offset to vertex data
- 1 - bone ID
- 0 (or 1024 or 2048 ) - vertex data type ?????

offset 36   (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1632, 0, 0, 1, 73, 0, 0)

Missing file with bones, or game use vertex shape animation.
