Getting .py traceback errors when exporting SMD
I'm getting this big traceback error in Blender 2.79 when exporting to SMD after using this proportion trick method I found on YouTube.

Blender Source Tools: exporting Body - Baking... - C:\solBadguyCompile\proportionTrickCompile\Body.smd - Exported 107 bones - Exported 1 frames Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\scripts\addons\io_scene_valvesource\export_smd.py", line 208, in execute self.exportId(context, id) File "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\scripts\addons\io_scene_valvesource\export_smd.py", line 524, in exportId self.files_exported += write_func(id, bake_results, export_name, path) File "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\scripts\addons\io_scene_valvesource\export_smd.py", line 1010, in writeSMD calc_norms(data) File "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\scripts\addons\io_scene_valvesource\utils.py", line 299, in calc_norms mesh.calc_normals_split(split_angle=mesh.auto_smooth_angle if mesh.use_auto_smooth else pi) TypeError: Mesh.calc_normals_split(): takes at most 0 arguments, got 1 location: <unknown location>:-1 location: <unknown location>:-1

Here are links to both my Blender 4.3 and Blender 2.79 blend files:

4.3 - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ub0qtOcPW4u47YqM_CeH2py6tFCn3I22/view?usp=sharing

This is the guide I'm using: https://youtu.be/EmVZBAM7i_A?si=ADZ9yfNIxjijAhFi

If I'm using the wrong guide and/or there's a better method please let me know. I'm horrible with these kinds of things.

I've been using ver. 2.4.1 of the source tools, so I guess I'll try one closer to 2.79. I do wonder why this guide is using 2.79 if it's so outdated though.

Alright, exporting with Blender 2.79 seems to work fine with ver. 2.10.2 of the source tools. However if there's a better way to do the proportion trick in new Blender, someone let me know please.
