    Check the model exporter (I use Blender - I've no idea what other exporters are like) and make sure on the texture/material tab, your gun texture is listed for export and translucent and environment map are off when you select it. Also try and change emap to false in your weapon's cs file.

    Hope that helps.

    Could we have a little more information, like what exporter you are using (Regular or Plus)?

    -Make sure your material resolution is in multiples of two. 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, ect.
    -Sounds dumb, but make sure you applied your material to your mesh.

    I'll be able to help you more when you let me know which exporter you're using.

    This is probably a dumb suggestion - but you did put the texture in the directory with the dts?

    As your using Milkshape (not my area of expertise), I'd suggest making a new forum post asking for help in the DTS Exporter: Milkshape forums www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.forum.php?qf=129

    As suggested before, it sounds like you can either have an alpha channel on your PNG, OR, you might have to reverse your poly normals. Try saving your texture as a jpeg, setting translucent to 'false' and see what happens. Not sure how milkshape handles inverted normals, but you should be able to enable backface culling to check their direction. Good luck.
