is there a tutorial on setting up a saber properly for jk2?

and sounds, do i get to choose sounds? or do they ahve to be default jk2 ones?? plz some help would be apreatied!

Well first off, you don't model the blade as it's added in the shaders. Second you might want to take a little time to look at the saber hilts already in the game. Download ModView and look over the parts and tags in the model.

Okay this is my first go at this kind of thing and it needs little bits done here and there, it's a new skin for the black looking Reborn Lightsaber, copy this into your base folder and you should be able to see it in MP, any suggestions welcome:

i havnt tried it yet, but n the images it looks really cool(and i think i fiugred outb how to make the file tructure in a pk3 fomr yours)

but can u plz tell em how you added tags?

Sorry I don't know about tags, as this is just a skin which was applied over the original one, though I do seem to be having a problem with it now, I can see the model and original Reborn Lightsaber skin in-game but not the new skin I made, so if someone could give me some suggestions as to what is wrong with it that would be appreciated.
