I know it's an old mod, but I recently started the game again for the heck of it, and installed the USM. One of the lightsaber models, the Padawan Lightsaber (Anakin/Luke's lightsaber from ANH) has the model, but the skin/texture isn't working on it, I just have a plain white model. I've looked in modlops to make sure that lshandle01 had a texture defined for it and it did, and I have the texture .tga and all, but it's just not working. Any suggestions to fix it?
Do you have the corresponding .txi file as well (should be the same name as the .tga)?
Sometimes that tricky little file magically decides to not find itself in our override folder...
