Unable to read models from the game

[Flagadar]

Hi!

I'm making a mod, for that purpose I'm using VS Model Creator for my modeling and I wanted to read some of the game's models (for example the deer.json) to study the game's animations.

However I'm unable to import the game's assets into VSMC. It gives me an error message as shown in the image.

Any ideas?

Open the shape file (found in "\survival\shapes"). You are trying to open the deer entity file.

Thank you, I didn't know these were separate files!

They are indeed!

One tip for VSMC: Set up the texture and shape base paths. The former one will cause textures to be displayed on shapes. The latter will make life easier for you later down the line.
