I tried to search in the forum, but I don't know what the the technical term for this common sword effect is, so some one please give me an answer or can show me where I can get the answer. Thank you Last edited by mygame4; 04/23/10 03:32.

My Famous Quotes: "Hip hop is like a virus, infecting everyone and everything around it. Every form of media has some way,shape or form, assimilated hip hop into it." It has also mutated into other strains like, trip hop, house, rap, gangster, and conscious forms. Once you are infected with it, its with you for life."

However, when I open sword.mdl, it gives me an window said In invalid argument was encountered, but when I run it, everything is OK. I don't know why. And since it's A6.4 version, so do you have any suggestions to make this follow the new version?
