as far as I know, there isn't, but I've been wrong several times before.

[Bah, link seems to be broken. I'll look for it somewhere else. Until then, try seaching google - it seems to have at one point existed.]

Had I not checked, I would have given you the same answer as maverick.

You need to use nwmax in order to import/export the models and as nwmax is only made for 3dsmax and gmax your out of luck. You should be able to dl a trial version of 3dsmax though.

Again, there is no certainty in any of my posts :xp:

so, what you mean is the head is gonna do half the stuff it's supposed to do?
but if that's the case, if 4 example, some1 took an original head from the kotOR TSL directory and modifies it, is it gonna lack animations?

and is it the same case w/ lightsabers?

No, he means your new head will be without animations, a statue, if you will.

After you move the verts, you then use Taina's Replacer tool, that is the only way I know to make a "custom" head.

You will still need 3dsmax/gmax, so if you make a lightsaber or any model in milkshape you will still need to get your model into 3dsmax/gmax so that the model can be rigged and exported in the ascii.mdl format that mdlops was writen to compile.

You could try making your lightsaber model and then kindly asking someone to rig and export it for you. You will, of course, need to do all the modeling, uv mapping, and texturing yourself. I don't think anyone would do that for you.
