Mud/Red Units

[HelpGetter]

Hi there hopefully someone can help me with this problem, I have searched the forum and I can't get a definitive solution:

I created a new Crimean unit based off the Pandours using this tutorial: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...74#post5872674
And textured them using this tutorial: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...58#post4715558

The unit uses the Pandours model with the units own texture: khan_musket
The directory I pointed to in the new warscape_animated was: Unitmodels/Textures/khan_musket
These are all contained in a .pack file as I wish to share with my friend, the entire Unitmodels/Textures folder is added

Despite these the textures have come up all muddy, so I guess maybe its to do with the editing I've done in Paint Shop Pro 7. I converted the images to the .tga format then opened them in psp7 in the diffuse I deleted a small section of the alpha channel so the units capes would not show. I then used the GIMP 2.0 to convert these back to .dds

Now after this my .dds to .tga convertor stopped working so I just opened the gloss file in GIMP and coloured in every channel in black. Despite this the units texture has not changed.

I realise this is very WALLOFTEXTWALLOFTEXT but I'm really struggling to wrap my head around this problem and have given all the information I can think of

Thanks, HelpGetter

After much raging and trying I managed to find I mispelled the texture names
.....
aaaaaRRGGGGGG

now I have a new problem, my unit is invisible apart from their shoulders, which is where the pandours have their faction colour I think
any suggestions so I can stop bugging you guys xD

Edit: Here's some visuals to see if anyone recognises the problem

Problem solved thanks to the painful labours of Sir Digby Chicken Caesar! My aplha channel in the diffuse .dds was all wrong somehow, I can only think the GIMP screwed me over there unfortunately

Thank you for your help Mong! Don't think I would forget you
