Well, either the chaingun bitmap was swapped for the cryoglass, or it was a model change. If it was a model change, it may be a conflict between the skin and the model. If it is a model, put the stock bitmap on there and se if it goes black. :wink:

Make sure you generate MIP maps.

i had a similar problem once too. i tried to put an image on Sergeant Johnson's hat, and it came out exactly the same thing. try just redoing the skin, and watch the layers and if there are any masks.

That sounds like the cure. :)
