TWEAKING TRICKS
well i found the solid editor.

but based on what zip said, im not so sure it will work. i couldn't try it because it's a .exe file, although it said it runs on DOS. the site has a cunfussling description of the program. as you can tell its not download.com, so there's no guaranty that it's not a bug or sumthing, but feel free to check it out.

hello . i have been waiting for a while now for levbot to explain his lightsaber sword, but since he hasn't yet, ill just ask. i've tried tweaking the sword into a lightsaber ever since i saw that awesome screenshot, but i can't get lugaru to read the new texture as a .png file. i need to change it because for some retarded reason, the .jpg format won't support see through parts . the only other option i see is editing the .solid file, but as you all know, that isn't an option right now. however, you seemed to have found a way around this. so, obviously, my question is, how do you do it?
first of all, i have photoshop. second of all, you can change a file extention byy just erasing the old one and writing a new one in the name of the file. third of all, my question wasn't "how do you change a file extention", it was "how do you make a lightsaber out of the sword texture file". i got the drawing done, but i can't make a lightsaber without making it the shape of the origional sword.
thanx usagi, i have been busy with another lugaru project to make a guide to do that, i forgot PMing that 2 u. there will be more in-depth info on this in my lugaru tweaker's bible that i am typing up (i'm on page 5) So far ive made that lightsaber, a kuriki, and a katana with the sword. if only there were bloody versions...
thanks for the tips usagi and levbot especially . actually, there is a way around the lightblood flaw. in a nutshell, throw out 'Swordbloodlight' and 'Swordblood'. rename 'Sword' 'knife', edit it into a lightsaber, save the file as a .png, and your ready to go. . granted, you won't be able to see if your lightsaber is bloody or not, but at least it won't spontaneously morph into a medieval sword.
btw this is my lightsaber:
