Welcome!!! Great to see someone else who wants to make JW weapon!
Could you send me the error message? I think I can probably figure this out for you.
How you worded your process confuses me a bit...
Here's what I did:
First, I exported th JunkWar package with UEd, leaving a folder called JunkWar in the UT2004 folder, containing the classes.
Next, I used Unreal Development Environment (UDE) for the coding. For my saber, I duplicated the JO_Machete file and renamed it JO_Saber. I put the new file in my own package.
Next I imported my model into UEd and put it in its own package, I did the same thing with the saber's texture.
Back in UDE, I changed the default properties to adjust where the Saber static mesh would be placed in relation to the hands. Also, make sure you set all of the StaticMesh properties to the appropriate mesh.
Lower in the code you should find something similar to this:
Begin Object Class=JunkMeleeFireInfo Name=JunkFireInfo0
MeleeRange=(Min=75.000000,Max=75.000000)
SwipeHitWallPoint=3
SwipePoints(0)=(Weight=1,offset=(Pitch=3000,Yaw=6000))

This would be the weapon info block. This is where the major changes are made. You should change the features as necessary. Also, take note to change the MeleeFireInfo so that it matches the class you are currently in.
That should compile correctly, and you got yourself basically a new junk weapon. You'll have to add a few lines to the JunkWar .ini, but you can find info on that later.
If there's any questions about this, and that goes for everyone, ask me and I'll explain the steps better.
