If there is nothing (layer is white), then image dont use combining method, result given by specular map and some extra options in asset manager.
			* If there is Alpha 1 layer and it's ok - notice which colour you have in game. Depends by that you choose detail map, which you'll combine with colour (probably, you can use different ones for different effects, for example Vector used brown detail, but on one SP mission - black, so you can get a real colour, but also some advanced). In MW2 you needn't combine col+spec, it doesnt use there.
