Hello there!

I wanted to ask how should I go about editing entities? Should I use an external program of some sort? I already tried changing the .dae file in the editor, but it was no use...

Model Editor.

Ah, I actually tried that earlier but it still doesn't work. I don't know whether there's something with my editor or it's me who's doing it wrong but after editing the entity, it becomes invisible in the LevelEditor and the game - even though it is still visible in ModelEditor. I thought I might need some other program like Autodesk Maya but if not, then I really don't know anymore..

Just for editing Model editor is all you need, if it is invisible in there (and you just edit already finished models), you fucked something really up ^^

What 3D modeling program you using?

I tried both Maya and Google Sketchup.

Well, the usual reason why the model would work in the model editor and not in game or level editor is either the level editor or game can't find the textures, the bodies aren't attached to the meshes, or if there is some conflict with the .msh files.
