Skinning Problem

Here's the problem. I replaced the dirt in waterworks with snow, and that's working fine. Then to make the snow white, I changed the waterworks_ground_dif.dds file to black and white with photoshop, and saved it in DXT5 format like it was originally. I resigned it, started playing the map, and the ground turns black at a certain distance. The snow looks fine, but it disappears from a certain distance. Any idea why?

this is a common problem did you clear you cache?

Im no expert on bitmaps, but it could be either LOD's or some sort of shader issue.

it is, it does the same thing if you mod a BR and leave the LOD file alone. Say you did a shader swap, it would look the same from a distance, but once you got up close it would change to the new shade.

Well, since I got lost after LOD, I posted the ppf of what I've done so far. If anyone has the time, please use the ppf to see what I did wrong or what I didn't do, and try to fix it. And I'm not sure if this will affect anything, but this is a Halo 2: Combat Evolved map.
