> I'm not sure about this...I've tried to do this before, but it gets screwed-up (i.e. The laser doesn't make an impact explosion...). It impacts, but it doesn't show it. And in MP it doesn't do a thing. If you want to make a new weapon or something, make/convert a level and add it to the JKL file of it. Another annoying thing...when you edit a JKL file and add/edit a template, and then Re-save your JKL in JED, all of that editing is LOST!!! So, if you want to change something, know what you're gonna do and do it once your level's complete :) It'll save you a lot of time and frustration.

OK.. make a copy of your master.tpl file in \jeddata save that one incase s*** happens.
Then edit the master.tpl file to include your template.. should make it much easier. make sure you have any additional mats etc in your project dir
I believe next version of jed will allow user templates to be used.. don`t quote me on that one it was something we were throwing around.
