Correct. The net effect of my code snippet earlier is to create 256
separate, complete textures differing only in specular, and then map those
into a grayscale bitmap. Maybe one day this functionality will be added for
simplicity's sake. It's sometimes confusing working out the intricacies of
layered, nested, and script-controlled textures, but, at least we 'can' use
those features as workarounds.
