Sorry about posting again hopefully this wont be a regularly occurrence. Im have trouble with a lightsaber i created, the texture i made for the hilt wont appear in game, all i get is a my white hilt that i made. Im 99.99% sure i named it correct, the txi is there as well, saved as targa 512x512. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you checked that the model has the texture assigned? If you have a hex editor you can open the binary MDL, otherwise open the ASCII MDL in a text editor (Notepad, etc.).

Ok well i opened it in notepad and im not sure what im looking for i dont see anything that references texture. What should it look like?

It should look like the original name.

Or you can re export the lightsaber, and double-check-make-sure that you have the texture applied for it.

Okay after some fiddling i got it to work thanks to you guys. Had to do with renaming the texture after i imported it to gmax i think. Thanks again
