No, no, no. Both games use the Ghoul2 (.glm) format. The only difference, as I recall, was that JKA models have the bones set for both hands to use lightsabers fully instead of just one as was done with Outcast. Any JKA model should work just fine in Jedi Outcast. Any JO model you put in JA will work, but will not be able to properly do things like the kata.

Jedi Outcast doesn't use .3do -- Jedi Knight does. But it's a completely different format. Whereas GLM uses bones 3DO uses a really old hierarchical format --> basically it's a bunch of models put together to look like a body, then there's an animation set that moves those.

That's a vague statement, from my perspective. It could be a bug in Milkshape, it could be that you're required to do something more to the model before export, or it could even be a problem with how you setup the new model to be used by the game.

It's a totally different system, and Jedi Knight is an ancient game that can't handle lots of polygons. The MOST you could do is have a "static" model. A pre-posed model that doesn't ever move, saved as a prop. If you're trying to put a Jedi Outcast or Jedi Academy player models into Jedi Knight, it will never happen. Period. Instead I suggest going to http://www.jkhub.net and downloading JEDI KNIGHT: Enhanced. <<--Click there.
