Does anyone know how to move nodes in the editor, I have a migraine by just figuring out how to move nodes with scaling, Translation and Rotation, IS there a way to move nodes with the mouse?

You shouldn't use Magos' Model Editor to animate. There are specific programs to do just that. You could use WarForger, MDLVis or a more advanced modelling program, such as 3DS Max, Maya or Milkshape (those cost money though).

I personally use WarForger:

However, it is very buggy, and you'll have to mess around with it before you learn all of its quirks. For instance, sometimes saving twice without making a new file can duplicate all of your nodes, very annoying to deal with. In order to avoid that, you have to save as a new file every time, and re-open the file every time. This may not be accurate advice, as I haven't used the program in a long time.

MDLVis is available here:

As for the rest, you'll have to find them yourself.
