alright, well i need to mesh my model (using lithunwrap) but whenever i load it up in lithunwrap, it looses the smoothing groups, and obviously the smoothing looks totally messed up.

does lithunwrap not support smoothing groups or something?

Lower picture is in lithunwrap (smooth is messed up)

Yes, to be honest LithUnWrap has issues with smoothing groups and can bork them up.

Best thing to do is make you model, UVMap it in LithUnWrap and THEN re-open it in Milkshape, weld vertices and assign smoothing groups.
