Model/Texture Problem

I made a new unit for the byzantines and everything works fine except the texture 1. I erased parts of the texture and it works fine in default tex but once i copied it to tex1 i can see the model part even though it should be invisible from the texture edit. Ive done a ton of unit retextures but ive only got this bug with this unit. anyone have an idea what i mightve done wrong or how to fix this?
The screen shows how the first unit i modded looks fine just the way i want, but the same unit's same textures in Texture1 folder is bugged.

I will ask Pat to take a look.
Moving this to the Modding forum. It is a bit beyond tech support.

This happens when the textures don't have @ in the name.
So the solution is to add a @, for instance Byz_Skutatoi_Diffuse@.dds, and then modify the .s4f file in the Archon tool to read the new texture names.
Of course, the Normal and Spec textures should also have @ in their names.

Thanks! Edited the .s4f and the texture names and it works now.
