I have several question:

1) Is it possible for all of the unis (troopers, snipers, etc.) to use the jedi die animation? (Kneeling instead of flying to the floor)

2) Is changing the projectile as easy as going into the common folder (Or which ever the file is located) and editing it in Gimp?

3) What exactly is required to switch weapons of different units? I know of this:

So is that all? Do I just need to Hex edit it? The guild is for multiple textures, but It would seem to me that you would do the same to change the unites default weapons.

1) Yes, open data_***\sides\common\odf\com_jedi_default.odf in notepad, i think the code is FleeLikeAHero = 1

2) Simple color changes can be made by finding the odf of an ordnance (odf files ending in ord) with the color you want and copying its texture and color codes to the one you want to change

3) Open a unit odf, say rep_inf_default_rifleman, the weapon sections are pretty easy to figure out, weaponname is the filename of the weapon, ammo is number of clips, and the channel = 1 makes it secondary. Edit these to change them, but make sure matching Award weapons are set up with the normal kind.

Thanks!

For #2 I was thinking more along the lines of bullets or paint balls.

for bullets, take a look at the shotgun, chaingun, and award pistol set ups
if you want to make them invisible, the common weapon odf's contain SecondaryOrdnance... lines, remove them or comment them out by putting // in front of them

I just want to make the "lasers" look more like small balls being shot. Biger than bullets, but not 1-2 feet long.

then either use the laser effect with smaller width and length values, or use a grenade msh, adding a msh.option with -scale 0.3 to make it about 1/3 the size, and no trail effect

How would I change the with and length a .msh.option?

Put in the line -scale 0.3 or whatever number you want to use.
