I've tried giving him a spawnscript, renaming the model, reconfiguring the npcs.cfg file and nothing will work. It's either he won't spawn at all or he'll spawn with no weapon and give up.

I don't think you have to make him be a new NPC for this to work. You should be able to just use the original NPC and just make a script that gives him a weapon when he spawns.

I already tried that. Here's the script I tried

//Generated by BehavEd

rem ( "Galek Fyyar" );
set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_WEAPON", /*@WEAPON_NAMES*/ "WP_BLASTER" );

You've implemented the script through the entity properties dialog?

spawnscript "filename.IBI"

If that doesn't work, set a targetname for your Galak (i.e. "moron"), then make a seperately run script like this:

affect ("moron", <AFFECT_TYPE> FLUSH)
{
set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_WEAPON", /*@WEAPON_NAMES*/ "WP_BLASTER" );
}

That should work. Unless you are using the Galak NPC where he's in the orange suit thing. You probably can't change the weapon for that.

I've tried to script it both ways and he won't spawn. He doesn't want a weapon. I tried spawning him in the air and placing a blaster underneath him to land on and he didn't want to pick it up.

With this script he'll spawn with a blaster in his hands but he'll shoot at the wall like an idiot. There's something different with this NPC.

rem ( "comment" );

maybe try changing his class to imperial or something, cuz ive noticed classes seem to hold different AI settings
