Hey

I would realy like to get the 3d models from this game.

Because nobody else has answered yet, I'll bite, even though I've never worked with the program.

Check out https://github.com/anegostudios/vsmodelcreator. This is probably what you are looking for. You should only need Java 8 to run VS Model Creator.

So i dont need a creator, i just need a Programm that Switches json files to a Format that can be put in a 3d printer.

This is the Blender plugin I use. It will allow you to import the models into Blender. From there you can export them to whatever format you want to use for your modeller/splicer.

The Blender plugin allows you to import the .json models from your game's asset folder into Blender. You'll want to look up a tutorial on installing plugins, then import through the new import option it creates; File > Import > Vintage Story (.json)
At that point you can export them; File > Export > Stl (.stl)
The .stl format should be readable for whatever Splicer program you use for 3D printing. You'll probably need to resize the model in your splicer though

I downloaded the plugin for blender but I keep getting errors like this one. The only model I've gotten to render was the bowtorn projectile. Im trying to get some of the creature models to print out but it hasn't been working well. I've even tried reinstalling the plugin and still didnt work.

Just based on the error, I'm guessing that the problem is that the core game files aren't JSON. JSON always has property names enclosed in quotes like this:

{

  "name": "paul",

  "number": 2,

}

 

Vintage Story stores things in almost-but-not-quite-JSON, which doesn't put property names in quotes, like this:

{

  name: "paul",

  number: 2,

}

 

There's a program called ModMaker stored next to the Vintagestory executable that can convert the game assets to and from Vintage Story's not-quite-JSON format. Since your error says "Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes", I'm expecting you'll need to do that before opening any file in Blender.

I'm just rather confused right now because i dont know why the bowtorn thing is the only one to actually render.  Ill have to test out ModMaker later since it is late for me.
