Mifune modding (the sword in the st- dirt.)

[august]

Man, I was LATE to the party. I used to play this on playstation then that got stolen so I built a PC and got it on steam sale. I hope some helpful people still browse here, I could use some help. I followed the model swapping tutorial, to give Mifune a different model, the problem seems to be that the game no longer knows where to put his sword, so it sits on the ground under his feet, slightly clipping into the ground. Tried this with a few models, all the same results. Does anyone know how to edit a model so that Mifune's sword will apply properly to it?

mifune has a bone where his sword is attached to , thats why when u swap him any model who doesn't have it will have the sword in the ground

you can use zealot tool and set the sword to the new model bones i guess
