how to make a massive lightsaber prop??

hi im trying to make a giant lightsaber as a prop . I want to place a lightsaber in my map like you would for any object.

I have put in my MSH folder the following :
rep_weap_inf_lightsabre.msh

rep_weap_inf_lightsabre.msh option
and
violetlightsaber.tga


I have put in my ODF folder ,the following:

rep_weap_lightsaber.odf

rep_weap_lightsaberr.odf

rep_weap_lightsabery.odf

rep_weap_lightsaberb.odf
and
rep_weap_lightsaberg.odf



I then go to place the lightsaber on Zeroedit and nothing appears on my map (this is guessing that the lightsaber includeds a hilt )


How would i go about ,1st of all, making a lighsaber an object on my map and 2nd of all making it a gigantic saber?


weird i know but it is for a purpose ,dont worry..

ps. i tried to make the saber bigger by this in my msh.option file :

-hiresshadow scale 100

but seein as i cant get a saber onto ZeroEdit i cant tell if it worked.




Thanks
