As far as I understand it, the suffix of the texture file determines how the file is used.

For texture_t.bmp the alpha controls how reflective the texture is.
For texture_l.bmp the alpha controls how transparent it is.

You also get texture_c.bmp for the virtual cockpit, and texture_d.bmp for damage.

I'm afraid thats not strictly true. _T's can be reflective or transparent. _L is usally the lightmap! where the ALPHA does neither, it controls which particular lights cause that area of the bmp to be used.

_c and _d are often only found ion default models, but your right about those!
