Custom Quake 1 Model Doesn’t Show Up Correctly. [EDIT]

First post yay!
Anyways, I put a static model into the game and no matter how many times I try to make the texture work it has 1 side that shows up, but the other side is completely black. I used blender, used the Smart UV map creator function, used gimp to make the texture, and exported using a MDL plugin for blender. It just doesn’t want to display correctly! I’m at work right now so I can’t post pics, but if it’s necessary to show them I’ll get them out tomorrow. 1 more thing, I made sure the texture was compatible with the quake palette.
Thank you!
Flood Fill

One thing that can ruin your day with skins (especially placeholder skins) is the floor fill feature. Some engines attempt to replace the bright blue background some original Quake models had on their skins, because it looks ugly when seams show. They do this by flood-filling the skin with black, starting from the top left corner of the skin.
This can wipe out actual visible portions of the skin if they are painted with a continuous block of colour which extends to the top-left corner. A reasonable workaround is to paint just the top left pixel in a different colour to the adjacent pixels, so that the flood fill is contained.
Thanks man! I’ll try that!
