thats what I did, well with the main v_model dmx, do I have to decompile the vvd and vtx's too?

i decompiled the mdl files and opened up spy's blender rig, i added the camera and set up all the export paths,

but i keep getting this error:

Python: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\dexte\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.4\scripts\addons\io_scene_valvesource\import_smd.py", line 86, in execute
self.errorReport(get_id("importer_complete", True).format(self.num_files_imported,self.elapsed_time()))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

return super().__getattribute__(attr)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'SmdImporter' object has no attribute 'startTime'
