See if it works if you give the texture the same name as the stock one.
"rep_inf_ep3trooper" i think. I once had this issue and whichever texture had the stock name was the on that was used...

and i didnt know exactly why he would say that.

What? I said that as a suggestion because you were still having trouble with it.

Back ontopic: we're getting nowhere fast here. Could you post all your relevent files? And is this just a custom skin side, or is it a unit you've made with the skin added on?

Are you using the Phase 1 Trooper? If so you need to replace the skins in MSH/PC also.
