If it helps any I checked the VTA itself and it seems to be halting while trying to export time 0?
CORRECTION: time 1 # Ah

I can't tell what is happening without the model. But AFAIK a shape's vertices and faces are always 1:1 with the base mesh. It could be that the Blender model is corrupt somehow.

I could possibly send it to you thru steam dms???

Sounds like a bug. Can you upload your .blend file, please?

You could also try exporting a DMX file.

I don't think I can really upload the blender file anywhere as it was a paid model

DMX seemingly gives the same results + can't be compiled in crowbar because of "too many bone influences per vertex" error

I've been completely stumped on what I should do when it comes to this error. It's been happening on only one model that I've been trying to export. Anytime I try to export this model's body, the SMD exports just fine, but the software gives me this when it goes to export the VTA:
