Once your cursor is on the name of the .tga, move it back a few places to where it says HBATRB - place your cursor on the place immediately after the last "B." The next 8 places should be "04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00." Change that to "04 00 00 00 04 00 00 00." Then save the mesh file and give your actual texture an alpha channel.

I'd think it would work the same with shinyness, but you'd need to change it into another value. (like maybe 04 00 00 04 00 00 04 00 or whatever. <-- that's just a random example.

To find it open a model that is shiny and look what numbers they are there



This is just a guess, meaning I'm not totally sure
