In GMax, I modeled a new hilt and UV-Mapped it.

Although, I am still skinning it. I wanted part of it to be shiny. I used a tga version of the texture, with the metal setting, and that part became black (instead of shiny). When I tried the psd of my texture, it did shine.

Visual (http://f.imagehost.org/0581/see.png) (the psd is on the left, while the tga is on the right)

So, how do I fix this problem?
