Maybe there is a limit to the size an embedded texture can have. Anyway I think for final release it wil better resizing our textures and/or compressing them

Okay, at least now we know that the critical element is not our texture per se

Sorry, my bad for the wrong file structure
Honestly I was expecting a different answer by you. After reading some other posts on the forum, I think that adding the new map channels to our meshes puts us in the right direction, but obviously there is something else we do wrong.
Unfortunately, as much as I looked into other modders' units and objects, I couldn't find in their files any working example of what I want to do with our lighthouses. From what I have read, I am pretty sure that Hans Witteman made an extensive use of the same concept for specular reflections of his U-BOOT_HAHD project but, pity for us, this brilliant mod was abandoned long ago and Hans is no longer an active member.
All in all, I still have some ideas on what might be causing our reflections not to work and I feel like we are just one step away from the solution. Nonetheless I also think it is about time to take a short rest from texture map issues and to focus on other and more important aspects. IMO, so far our small team has made an excellent job; let not our recent failures spoil our morale
That said, I hope to release tomorrow a new alpha version with some fixes/improvements and a few new features. I ìf we keep up this pace, I don't see us too far away from the beta fase
