Type "GIANTS" or "i3d" in the addon search box...

The addon is called "Game Engine: GIANTS I3D Exporter Tools".

yeah i tried that and nothing came up...when i unzip the exporter add on do i need to add it to the blender folder before i try to install it?

I run the "blender_i3d_export_9.0.1_win.exe" file and use the EXPORT option. From the zip file created, I dragged the folder inside "io_export_i3d" into the "C:\Users\"your user name"\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.0" folder.
I am using Window 10.

Sorry for not clarifying, that's the file that you download from the GDN website.

the exporter for blender does not support newer blender versions than 299

I am using Blender 3.1.0 with Giants i3d Exporter v.9.0.1. and no issues.
Able to export the model from Blender and run FS22 with out editing model in the Giants Editor.
Highly recommend the Modding Tutorials 5.0, worth every penny.

My WIP...

Then you are using the wrong exporter download and install the one from the download page of this forum

How did you install it to 3.1.0 I got the modding tutorials 5.0 but the blender exporter download wont self install onto 3.1 is there anything im missing?

I do NOT let it self install, just click the Extract Files button to save it to a FOLDER. Extract the zip file created.

Then copy the "io_export_i3d" FOLDER that was extracted into the Users/"your user name"/AppData/Roaming/BlenderFoundation/Blender/3.1/scripts/addons FOLDER.

Make sure you check that its the io_export_i3d inside the io_export_i3d folder with all the files inside.
