model ignores omni lights

[Sui-cookie]

i've run into a problem concerning the grass model found here and a red omni light that i have.

The model isn't effected at all by the light. :/ anyone ever run into this before?

It looks like the grass surface in the model was set to only have ambient light, not directional light. You'll probably have to edit the model (increasing the material's diffuse value and decreasing ambient value) to get it to receive directional light.

i am definitely no modeler, so i have no idea what you're talking about >.<
how would i go about doing this?

Well, I may have over-thought things a bit.

Judging by this tutorial, you could use MdlxConv to convert .mdx to plain text .mdl, then find the material and remove the line saying Unshaded; in a text editor, save, and convert back to .mdx. It might not look good, though, considering the model's creator maybe made it that way for a reason.
