jesus christ...

so i managed to find useable models of the actual in game stalker vehicles (not redistributable mind you) but all the materials/textures are .VMT files, and even after installing VTFedit, which Im SUPPOSED to be able to use to convert .vmt AND .VTF files to .png,jpeg,tga, yet it either skips them entirely, for NO fucking reason or when I try to get the to .VTF they say "error loading" and this when I try and use the "convert folder" option, if I try and load the .vmt one at a time and then export them, I CAN'T FUCKING EXPORT THE LITTLE SHIT! so anyone who knows WHY this is happening, please enlighten me.
