I have an OBJ for a lightsaber blade. It just needs to be fitted to the stock lightsaber hilt. Can somebody do that for me, please?

Nearly forgot about your request, here you are!

Took me a second to figure out why the hilt wouldn't appear.. Fixed it.

I hate to ask too much, but is it possible to turn this into an addon mesh that I can hex-edit onto models? I want to make dual-wielding characters (Mainly Grievous and Maul).

Sure thing, try this out.

You probably don't have to hex-weld it on, might only have to do it within the odfs, and attach it to "bone_l_hand." Unless you want to reserve that for a cape or something.

Thanks for the conversion!

Having it in the ODF file as an addon may cause problems if the cape is loaded at the same time as the lightsaber addon.

EDIT:, well, this seems to be what happens when I hex-edit it in to the model:



Is there a way to modify the rotation value of a mesh part by hex-editing, I wonder? I'm told I can use "TRAN" to alter the position of the meshes but I have no idea how.

Failing that, I could try it as an addon with a different name under the "AnimationName" setting.

Grevious skeleton may be a bit different than swbf unit anims.
I'd still try it ingame to see what happens (SWBFViewer doesn't always suggest what really happens ingame, as I'm sure you know).

-Only one addon at a time is possible.

If you know how to convert data types, and (I think) know how to use Quaternion rotation/tansform (4 numbers for 3 axises), I think you might be able to do it with hex-editing.

If you upload your Grevious model (or point me to where you got it), I'll use XSI to put them together.
