Welcome to the site!
First off, not a bad rip. There are some issues, but they're easy to fix.
As Dazz said, I recommend putting the DAE back in. OBJ files are good, but they don't support rigging, and SMD files only work in Source. Having all three ensures that everyone can use it.
A few parts of the DAE will need to be changed, but don't let the block of text scare you. It's really easy to fix, and all you need is a text editor like Notepad. (Or Notepad++, preferably.) The issue is that when the model is exported, the program set the texture path as the exact path on your computer. And since not everyone has a folder called Hack Tools on a
\ drive, it will only work on your computer. Changing it to only have the name of the texture (ex: ada_te.png) will fix this. If you have trouble with this, just ask and I can explain further.
The only other problem is the lack of a MTL file. You may have seen these get created at the same time as the OBJ. Because of how the format is set up, texture assignment is read from an external file. Without it, people will have to manually assign them. It's not bad when there are only a few files, but imagine trying to texture a model with 30 parts, and 10 similar-but-different textures.
I look forward to being able to accept these!
