Changing chainsword to powersword

[MartinNJ]

Hey...!

I have been fidleing with me Dark angels Deathwing mod for some time now, and one thing that keeps coming back is my inability to change the chainsword to a powersword..
More specifically:
I have a Termie-FC.... With the sword+shield upgrade, but of course a termie won't run around with a chainblade (After all, the FC i Belial himself...!) So how do i change this, whenever i try to change it, i get a black box of doom that does tremendous damage, but looks awefull

With that i mean, that when the upgrade is complete, the game spawns a black box around him (a placeholder i assume) and when i zoom through the box i can see he doesnt hold a sword, only a shield.

The file i modded is:
"Attrib\simulation\attrib\wargear\wargear\pvp\race_marine\sm_wp1_sword_and_shield.rbf"

I changed it to this:

The file compiles and laods good enough but the sword wont show, any help and suggestions.

If you look at the lines for online render models you will see that it says chainsword_epic\powersword_epic change the sub directory to powersword rather than chainsword and it should fix your black box problem .
