What 3d format does the game want its models to be in and how can they be inserted into the game?
The models are in mesh. You convert them from xsi. with convertdata xsi. that comes with forge tools. The forge tools documentation gives an explanation of how you model needs to be set up ready for conversion. You will need AutoDesks SoftImage or SoftImage mod tool is a free version that does the job to make a model in xsi.
If you model in 3ds max or maya you can port the models to XSI through the FBX format. Make note, however, that FBX/XSI renames dashes in the names of objects/helpers to underscores when you use this method if they were precreated/named in said programs, so you'll need to fix those once converted to mesh (using replace in notepad++ makes this a 10 second job).
