Well, I copied the effects for the Republic jetpack over into my gun/effects folder. Then I copied over the .tga and .tga.option into my gun/msh folder. Lastly, I added the ep3jettrooper's lines that dealt with his flying into the Gungan defender's odf. The result:
How do I make the jetpack visible?
I am aware that there is a topic that mentions invisible jetpacks, but I think my problem is completely different.
