I can explain this.

if you change the extensions on the swords to .png, then it cant read it and the sword texure uses the knife texture as a backup.

but the knife has oholes in it, the alpha layer. so by replacing the knife, you are also replacing the swords, and with a see-thru (.png) file, thus the lightsaber it a .png

Right, so that's why I can only get a red lightsaberthing with an unrealistic black handle like a sword's

(mac) well, actually, you can have a lightsaber with a real-looking handle.

As far as I can tell, Lugaru accesses the data from the data folder by name, which includes the extension. So, instead of changing the actual file, just type in another extension. Chances are Lugaru will still be able to read it, and you'll have a realistic saber.

I'm not sure about M$ or Linux, but you might also be able to rename the extension without editing the file.
