You could try changing the texture. For example, the CIS lightsaber has the texture redlightsabre. Switching it to a blaster bolt's texture might well work (that is what the rep_weap_lightsaberb does).

And make sure to look in the hp section of the ODF, it has color options in there.

Laser colors are dictated by 2 things. The base texture and the light glow color that surrounds the laser and its texture.

The laser texutres are found in the Shipped Common Effects folder in the SWBF_Builder Mod Tools. Edit them as wished, then in the side you are making, create a folder called "effects" with out the "" and put them in there.

Lightsaber blades are named bluelightsaber.tga, darkredlightsaber.tga, redlightsaber.tga, and greenlightsaber.tga there is also a purple one.(there might also be a yellow one) These are found in each sides MSH folder.

All- has the blue saber
Imp- has the darkred
Rep- has the purple, blue and green<-- not to sure about the green one, I havent looked in awhile.
Cis- has the red one

Each saber texture is called by the commandline Texture = "____lightsaber" in the Lightsaber's odf file.
Another way to change the color is to use a image editor like GIMP2 or Photoshop.

Now I suggest that you dont shout like that again as people do not like it and its a great way to get warnings from admins.
If you did not understand anything of what I explained, read the Documentation a couple times and do a forum search. All the answers are there.
