Ok, I made a lightsaber orange instead of blue then replace the rep and repshell (the orignal) my troopers pop up but the blue lightsaber is still blue and not orange please help

would you care to elaborate your problem? how did you change the lightsabers color with what did you replace rep and repshell.lvl?

ok i changed the lightsaber in gimp i change it to orange using colorize then i munged and replace the original rep.lvl and repshell.lvl in the data folder

what lightsaber did you munge (file name) exactly, and for who (what hero)?

all I did was change bluelightsabre.tga and then munged my custom soilders pop up but not the orange lightsaber

You'll need to create a custom side and call them in the LUA script. Here's a tutorial for setting up your custom side:

Once that's set up, just have a unit that uses bluelightsabre.tga and the modified tga included in the side and call that unit in the LUA.
