Skins turning black far away

When I try to skin things they get darker the farther you are from it. Can someone let me know what I'm missing?

Remove the lower LOD's from the map.
*cough* H2 Machinima Companion *cough*

That's an odd occurance! o_O
The LOD remover I dont think helps too much in this situation...It may do :S
but anyway, what have you done to the map already...You may have some holes in the bitmap area or somewhere else because I've had bitmap problems when there are holes in the map

H2 Machinima Companion didn't work.
Scotty, all I have done is modify the one "pitted_generic.dds" bitmap. Saved as DXT1 1bit Alpha and no MIP maps. And it was extracted/injected with dothalo.

When saving the file as a .dds check off "Generate MIP Maps".
Edit: Err...I didn't see that it was already posted...I should have scrolled down.

Sorry if this is considered a bump, but how would you go about this using M$ Paint?

You can't. Try using
GIMP; it's free and similar to Photoshop. You'll need this
DDS Plugin.
