Now i know Specularity maps and bump maps are supported, and i am pretty sure the Illumination maps are as well.
BUT, i cannot seem to get them to work properly.

Okay, here is my color map. - 2mnhl.pcx


Here is my Specularity map. - 2mnhls.pcx


And here is my Illumination map. - 2mnhli.pcx


I did the checkmark "Illumination, Transparency, Translucence" in magic 1.5, saved and loaded into Magic 2.0

Here is a picture of my Material Setup

As you can see, everything is as it should be, BUT.

Two things happen.
One: there are no areas on the ship that are lit when its in darkness. The spotlights on the name and registry do not shine.
Two: areas that are black in the specmap, still produce shine in light.

What am I doing wrong?

May I ask what version of Magic that is? I can use Illumination and specular maps with my models and I'm using 1.6. If there is a newer version could someone share this?

This is magic 2.0
Someone sent it to me.

Well I can you send it to me?

I shall ask the person who sent it to me if I can. :-\, nothing personal, i just dont want to step on any toes.

what happen if you change the blend mode?

Well after playing around with it I think your values may be way too high. I set emissive and specular to 0.25 at 0.50 the shine seemed to appear. I also set the color box next to specular to grey and emissive to black. When doing this the entire ship was illuminated with some reflective surface.

thanks everyone, we figured it out..

When using bump maps, do you just use a greyscale image, or do you need a different format?

I would assume that it's a greysacale map. That is what I'm using, a solid grey at 128x128x128. I think I read somewhere that it took the the R value and applied it as a height map.
