So I was trying to take some models and convert them to smds, psk, and md5s but the rigged bones look bigger than the model on 3dsmax
It always happens, and is there a model format that doesnt fuck up the rigs, or do I need certain import settings

Are you talking about the actual bones, or their pointers (greyish-blue triangular prism shapes)? The pointers are just there so you can select the bones, and their sizes can be changed seperately in 3D Studio Max. Your rig is probably fine.

I honestly came in here expecting a spam thread since I didn't see the author, but that's a pretty funny mistake. I would ask you to fix it, but that's just rich.
Anyways, you're probably dealing with models that are very small. Even when they're small, Max will still use the default bone size on import causing issues. As Friedslick said though, it should be fixable. It wouldn't affect their functionality regardless.

Open the model in 3D Studio Max which includes the bone pointers you want to scale, and from upper toolbar select "Animation>Bone Tools...". From the window that shows, open the "Fin Adjustment Tools" rollout. Then scale the dimensions of the model's bone pointers as desired. After you are done, close the window and save your changes.
Alternatively, use the Uniform Scale transform tool to resize your model to fit its bone pointers.
