I think I know what is going on guys: alpha blending was not enabled, that made the reflection data passed on to the graphic engine, either totally black or ototally white. My bad for not thinking of it before

@ Kendras

Please scrap all the tweaks I suggested yesterday and check the 'Disable z-buffer wtite + enable alpha blend' checkbox for all the materials with SpeculaMask action controller attached

P.S: if you want to make the reflection effect more or less evident, you can play with the 'Specular strength' material property. In stock files, I have seen settings as high as 140; usually materials with no reflection map enabled, have much lower setting, similar to the ones that our 'concrete' and 'metal' materials are set to.
