Delta', what do mean by "edit his MSH file" ?

when it says like geometry name and geometry low rez, change those files to whatever you want him to look like... I think... I'm not a good modder but I think this is how you do it...

Geometry ? You do not have to change these lines, cause that's only for the Jet Trooper's model... To re-texture him, just rename textures you made for him as you want, hex-edit his *.MSH files and look for his "old" textures' names. After that, change all occurencies with the name of the new textures you created to replace the old ones...

Check if you have not let Jet Trooper's old textures in your project, and if you have used the same name for your new textures than the old ones. Next, clean your new world and munge...

Try this : Rename all Jet Trooper's textures you made as you want. Next, hex-edit all *.MSH files of this unit and look for the names of the original textures using the search function (Do not forget the extension : ".tga"). After, change all the results with the names of the new textures you created. Save changes and check if it works...
