Getting an MD3 to FBX:
- Open Noesis (4.0996 at least is required)
- Load the MD3 model into Noesis
- Export the MD3 model to FBX
As far as I'm aware, Noesis will export the legacy FBX version (2006 version?) which is importable by all versions of FBX plugins.
Getting an MD3 from FBX to game:
To get texture names stored in the MD3, name your material in your 3D package like this: models/<yourmodelpath>/<yourtexture>.jpg
- Create your model, and split it up so each object doesn't go over 1,000 verts
- Add any bone objects you want as tags and name them "tag_<name>"
- Export the model + bone objects to FBX, any version should be ok
- Open Noesis (4.0996 at least is required)
- Load your FBX model into Noesis
- Export your FBX model to MD3 with the following command in advanced options:
-md3tbone <BoneName> <TagName>
without the < > of course. 
Notes:
Tags are created from bone objects in Max, not sure about other software. Rich said any skeletal joints. If you're wanting to create world weapon models (held in the player model's hand), then please check out my GLM tutorial.

MD3 Import/Export Using Blender 3.3
Uhm, okay. Never heard of this before. What version of the addon did you try to install? If you have instructions on how to recreate this issue, I could probably fix it, unless its a bug in the 3.1 release that the addon triggers by accident. Anyways, latest release (v0.9.96-pre) also works in more recent versions of blender like 4.2. -

MD3 Import/Export Using Blender 3.3
I don't recommend downloading this addon. At least in 3.1 Blender version. When I tried to enable the addon, hundereds of error pop-ups filled the screen and my entire computer froze. I rebooted the PC and tried to relaunch Blender but it kept not responding. I had to reinstall Blender ENTIRELY because of it. Be careful. -

How to edit your NPCs into wielding whatever weapon you want
I think that even though it would be cool to give Boba Fett this kind of concept, it's just not fun to be opening those gates and going into a rabbit hole. So, I will, in a sense agree that these files shouldn't be released, only if it's with your own assets can it come to fruition. I hope you all understand coming from me. -
