Backwards bitmaps

Well, I finally used a texture that wasn't symmetrical and found an interesting problem.

The bitmap is backwards.

When I create the model in Milkshape, we set the location of the texture which is a png at the time.

When I load the mesh, I call the setMaterialTexture to apply the bitmap, but it's backwards.

Has anyone else seen this?

Someone posted this problem, but we did not find any solution to this. It seems that some textures are right, but some are not... *helpless*

I'm wondering if it's due to the way Milkshape handles textures and how those textures are stored.

I haven't looked into how PNGs are stored, but I'm wondering if the texture X coordinates are stored for a PNG, and when it's loaded into Irrlicht, it's sets up the coordinates for a PNG, but I go and toss in a BMP instead.

That may also be a clue as to why Milkshape blows when I try to switch my PNG out for a BMP after generating the model....

Will try it out when I get home.
